Partner Solution Architect, Regional System Integrators

As a Partner Solution Architect, serve as the pre-sales solution design authority for our priority Regional System Integrators (RSIs) and strategic partners across the South geo clusters. You will be the ecosystem co-pilot to Google Cloud's Account Platform Customer Engineers. Where the Account Platform Customer Engineer owns the direct customer relationship and strategy, you will own your partner's technical capability to successfully deliver it. You will move seamlessly from regional advisory to deep, domain-specific execution (AI, Data, or Infrastructure) to capture the pre-sales gap, while ruthlessly deflecting post-sales delivery.

As a Partner Solution Architect for RSIs and Strategic Partners, you will work in close collaboration with the Partner Development Managers responsible for the RSIs and Strategic Partners in your sub-region to create, drive and execute a joint business plan successfully, focusing on most impactful engagements across your sub-region and contribute to Partner Community in your domain of expertise.
