[Hiring] Technical Solutions Architect III @World Wide Technology

Role Description

Technical Solutions Architects at WWT are high-functioning subject-matter experts who transform the market with innovative solutions that amplify customer value and WWT profitability. This is a pre-sales role centered on customer-facing workshops, briefings, and technical advisory across our virtualization portfolio.

What makes this seat distinct: you'll operate across both our VMware and Nutanix initiatives, floating to where customer demand is greatest. Our customers' virtualization strategies vary widely, and this role calls for someone equally credible advising across both platforms — meeting each customer wherever their environment and goals sit. Both are areas of active investment and growth for our team, and genuine flexibility between them is the heart of this role.

• Provide technical pre-sales support to field sales teams across both VMware and Nutanix opportunities — winning new logos and growing existing relationships.
• Lead customer-facing workshops, executive briefings, and technical advisory engagements on virtualization architecture and platform strategy.
• Serve as a credible SME across our full virtualization portfolio, adapting to each customer's environment and objectives.
• Build and maintain technical marketing and proof-of-work collateral — reference architectures, solution briefings, and thought leadership — for field teams and customers.
• Collaborate with the larger GS&A team, professional services, regional sellers and architects, and sales leadership to advance the virtualization solution portfolio and go-to-market strategy.
• Partner with Softchoice on joint co-selling motions.
• Train WWT staff and strategic partners on our ability to market, sell, and deliver virtualization architectures.
• Achieve and maintain certification requirements to sustain partner status and specializations.

• Demonstrated ability to flex between different platform initiatives based on shifting customer and business demand.
• Strong interpersonal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to lead technical conversations with both engineers and executives.
• Strong organizational, writing, and editing skills.
• Practical working knowledge of modern AI tools — including Claude, which our team leverages heavily.
• Demonstrated teamwork and alignment with WWT's culture and core values.
• Relevant vendor certifications (VMware VCP/VCAP, Nutanix NCP/NCM) or plan to immediately attain required.
