Senior Solutions Lead – Pre-Sales & Solution Strategy

Location: India (Remote)
Function: Pre-Sales Engineering / Solutions Strategy
Level: Senior Individual Contributor (with leadership influence)
Time-Zone Collaboration: India hours with regular overlap with US / Europe stakeholders

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Solution Lead to join our high-performing Pre-Sales & Solution Strategy team. You will sit at the intersection of Sales, Delivery, Product, and Client Leadership, shaping the solutions we take to market and directly influencing multi-million-dollar outcomes.

This is not a “respond to the RFP and pray” role. This is a strategic, high-ownership, high-IQ seat where you:

• Shape the problem,
• Design the solution, and
• Influence how we win and deliver.

You will focus exclusively on large, complex opportunities valued at $1M+, where your problem-framing, technical depth, and storytelling materially impact win rates.

You will report to the Head of Pre-Sales & Solution Strategy and collaborate with a senior, globally distributed team across India, the US, and Europe.

What You’ll Own

1. Deal Shaping & Pre-Sales Architecture

• Translate ambiguous client goals into clear, compelling, technically credible solution architectures (Figma/Miro/Adobe)
• Lead discovery workshops, ask incisive questions, and define what a winning solution looks like—for the client and for us.
• Build decks, narratives, and pricing models that position us decisively above competitors. (Google/PP/Canva)
• Navigate seamlessly between C-level outcomes (business case, ROI, risk) and engineering deep dives (architecture, delivery approach, tradeoffs).
• Own the solution narrative end-to-end across EOI/RFI/RFP responses, orals, and executive briefings.
• Solution Estimating: Provide high level pricing estimates tied to value impact statements (ROI) for clients including software, hardware, cloud and tooling licensing for POC/MVP/Commercial models
  
  

2. Cross-Domain Solution Engineering

Own the solution across the full delivery lifecycle, spanning:

• Applications – modernization, greenfield engineering, platforms, integration
• Infrastructure – cloud infra, DevOps, SRE, infra automation
• Security – controls, IAM, governance, secure-by-design patterns
• Cloud – AWS / Azure / GCP architectures, migration strategies, optimization / FinOps
• Tooling- AI models, ISV licenses, tokens etc

You bring technical breadth with depth in at least one practice area and can credibly orchestrate end-to-end solutions.

A practical understanding of how AI cuts across these domains is essential, including:

• agentic automation across workflows and operations
• private AI stacks (RAG, governance, observability)
• model-integrated applications and copilots that augment existing systems

3. Go-To-Market & Productized Offerings

• Turn our capabilities into clear, differentiated, repeatable solutions and offerings.
• Collaborate with Product, Delivery, and Marketing to evolve our GTM playbooks and sales assets.
• Package reference architectures, POVs, and standard patterns based on real market demand.
• Capture learnings from deals and delivery to refine offerings and win themes.

4. Internal Collaboration & Leadership

• Partner closely with Sales on deal strategy, qualification, and pursuit plans.
• Align with Delivery Leaders to ensure proposed solutions are buildable, profitable, and differentiated.
• Contribute to sales enablement via reusable messaging, templates, and pricing frameworks.
• Act as a thought leader and mentor for junior solution engineers and architects.

What Success Looks Like

• Stakeholders (Sales, Delivery, Clients) consistently rate your solutions as clear, differentiated, and client-aligned.
• Sales teams proactively pull you into strategic conversations because you “help deals close.”
• Delivery teams trust your architectures—and want to build them.
• You significantly enhance our GTM library with reusable assets, offerings, and standard patterns.
• Over time, you shape or lead 1–2 strategic offerings or solution themes for the company.

Who Thrives in This Role

We’re targeting top-tier pre-sales / solution engineering talent in India who demonstrate:

• Flexible thinking – can reshape a problem even when the client can’t articulate it clearly
• Structured reasoning – can break down complexity into options, tradeoffs, and recommendations
• Technical breadth + depth – strong grounding in apps, infra, security, and cloud, with a sharp view of how AI enhances each
• Storytelling ability – can communicate crisply to CXOs, procurement, and engineering teams
• Calm confidence – comfortable leading conversations amid ambiguity and pace
  Ownership mindset – thinks like an owner, not a vendor; cares about long-term value and delivery success

Required Experience

• 7–12+ years in pre-sales engineering, solutions architecture, or consulting roles in IT services / SaaS / cloud / AI-led solutions
• Proven ability to influence or close $1M+ services deals (multi-tower or multi-year preferred)
• Hands-on understanding of services delivery, including SDLC, cloud migrations, modernization, architecture patterns, and infra operations
• Experience designing or positioning solutions with AI integration, agent workflows, automation, or model-enhanced apps (copilots, RAG systems, intelligent workflows)
• Ability to build defensible pricing models (T&M, fixed-price, managed services, outcome-based)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; experienced presenting to senior stakeholders
• Comfortable working with distributed global teams across time zones

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Hands-on experience with one or more major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Familiarity with modern data and AI stacks (Snowflake, Databricks, vector DBs, LLM orchestration frameworks)
• Background in consulting-led environments (Big 4, global SIs, boutique consulting firms)
• Industry experience in BFSI, Retail, Manufacturing, Healthcare, or similar
  
  

Why Join Us

• You work only on large, strategic, high-impact deals—not a high-volume RFP machine.
• You partner with senior leaders across Sales, Delivery, Product, and GTM who value and expect strong solution thinking.
• You help define the future of our offerings, particularly in AI-enabled solutions.
• You get a genuine seat at the table—your thinking moves revenue and informs what we build next.
• Remote-first in India with high ownership, low bureaucracy, and meaningful growth paths (Practice, Offering, or GTM leadership).
• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives tied to impact.
