Job description
As a Senior Solutions Architect at AfterShip, you will play a critical role within the growing global go-to-market organization, acting as a trusted technical and solution advisor to mid-market and enterprise prospects. Your primary objective is to support revenue growth and product adoption by partnering closely with Account Executives and Customer Success Managers to clearly articulate AfterShip's value, capabilities, and technical fit.
You will guide prospective customers through technical discovery and solution validation, ensuring their business and technical requirements are well understood and effectively addressed by AfterShip's products. By the time a customer enters onboarding, you will have helped establish a clear solution approach, aligned expectations, and readiness across technical and project stakeholders.
This is a high-impact, customer-facing role within AfterShip's global team, reporting to the Manager, Solutions Architects. You will collaborate regularly with colleagues across Europe, North America, and APAC. Some meetings outside of local business hours are required to support global alignment; these are planned in advance with consideration for schedules and work-life balance.
You will be expected to be in the office 2-3 times per week, located in Barcelona.
What You'll Do:
- Engage prospects in a consultative, discovery-led manner to understand business objectives, technical requirements, and operational constraints
- Serve as the primary technical advisor during the sales and renewal cycles, supporting solution positioning and technical validation
- Partner with Account Executives to assess technical fit, risks, and readiness, contributing to deal qualification and closure
- Design and deliver tailored product demonstrations and proof-of-concepts aligned to customer use cases and stakeholder needs
- Develop and present solution architectures, technical proposals, and statements of work (SOWs)
- Respond to technical questions related to AfterShip's APIs, webhooks, integrations, and platform capabilities
- Support RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires, including collaboration on data privacy, security, and compliance topics (e.g., GDPR)
- Facilitate technical workshops and design sessions to articulate AfterShip's value proposition and implementation approach
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure customer requirements are accurately represented and addressed
- Act as a regional voice for customer feedback, helping influence product direction and solution best practices
