Locations include Boston, MA; Charlottesville, VA; Columbus, OH; or Durham, NC. We are also open to candidates based remotely in the U.S.

As a Senior Manager, Solutions Architecture - MarTech, you'll be a pivotal link between pre-sales strategy and project delivery.

Whether leading architectural discovery for new initiatives or guiding in-flight projects, you'll ensure solutions are both technically sound and aligned with business objectives. You'll engage with prospective clients to explore how our capabilities can meet their unique challenges, lead architecture efforts for new engagements, and collaborate closely with delivery teams to bring client visions to life. You'll also provide critical estimates for team composition, build scope, and resource planning, ensuring projects are realistically scoped and staffed for success.
