[Hiring] Senior Solutions Architect, Partnerships @Nova Credit

Role Description

The Senior Solutions Architect, Partnerships will work within our Go-To-Market team and be dedicated to our Partnerships business unit, focused on the 0-to-1 market opportunities that the BU pursues, most notably our current effort to expand into the automotive lending space. As a consultative product expert, you'll help clients unlock business value while collaborating with the Account Team, Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams throughout the customer journey.

This is a 0-to-1 role at its core. You'll operate in an environment where the product, ideal customer profile, ideal use case, and sales motion are not yet fully defined, and you'll help define them. While you'll support both pre-sales and post-sales, this role carries a strong bias toward pre-sales, partnering closely with Account Executives to shape and advance new deals in an emerging market.

In this role, you'll engage with our U.S. customer base of large financial institutions, as well as key technology and platform players within the financial space. Many of our strategic partnerships are Business-to-Business-to-Consumer in nature, so you'll own the technology and product aspects of these relationships, including both the partner integrations themselves and the end-customer implementations served through the platform. A working familiarity with HTML, JavaScript, RESTful APIs, and scripting languages such as Python will be essential for demonstrating the value of Nova Credit's platform to customers and prospects. You don't need to be a full-stack engineer, but you should be comfortable reading HTML, making light edits, and speaking credibly to technical stakeholders. Your contributions will be critical to the company's overall success!

Qualifications

• 5+ Years Experience in customer facing pre- or post-sales roles, with a bias toward pre-sales, ideally in financial services, credit, or a related industry.
• Familiarity with indirect (dealer-financed) lending, dealer platforms (RouteOne, Dealertrack) would be a bonus.
• Experience with 0-to-1 GTM motions, meaning sales motions where the product, ideal customer profile, ideal use case, and sales motion are not yet fully defined.
• A builder's mindset and the temperament to thrive when the sales process, collateral, and motion are not yet established.
• Highly cross-functional, with a proven ability to collaborate across business, engineering (Build), and Data Science teams to drive outcomes.
• Working familiarity with HTML, JavaScript, RESTful APIs, and a scripting language such as Python.
• Familiarity with UX design tools such as Figma, Adobe, or Paper.
• Proven experience in Enterprise IT solutions and implementations.
• Experience managing multi-party integration partnerships.
• An understanding of the nuance of operating within a channel partner ecosystem.
• Above all, intellectual curiosity, drive, and coachability will be critical.
