Job description

The Lighthouse Architect is a senior, customer-facing technical advisor responsible for helping enterprise customers design, implement, and operationalize solutions that drive long-term success and value realization. Acting as a trusted partner, the Lighthouse Architect bridges business objectives and technical execution, providing architectural guidance, risk mitigation, and ongoing optimization throughout the customer lifecycle. This role is hands-on, consultative, and highly collaborative-working closely with customers, internal product and engineering teams, sales, and delivery partners to ensure successful outcomes and sustained customer confidence., Customer Engagement & Advisory

  • Serve as a trusted technical advisor for assigned strategic customers.

  • Understand customer business goals, technical environments, and success criteria.

  • Translate customer requirements into practical, scalable architecture recommendations.

  • Build long-term relationships with customer technical and business stakeholders.

  • Partner with account teams to align technical strategy to renewal, adoption, and expansion goals-maintaining a strong value narrative with customer leaders.

Solution Architecture & Technical Leadership

  • Design, validate, and evolve solution architectures aligned to best practices and customer objectives.

  • Lead technical discovery, architecture reviews, and design workshops.

  • Provide guidance on deployment models, integrations, scalability, performance, and security.

  • Identify technical risks early and drive mitigation strategies.

Delivery & Execution Support

  • Partner with implementation teams, partners, and customer resources during onboarding and major initiatives.

  • Provide oversight and technical direction without necessarily owning day-to-day project management.

  • Support complex troubleshooting and act as an escalation point for architectural issues.

  • Validate solutions against desired outcomes and architectural intent.

Customer Success, Adoption & Value Realization

  • Proactively drive customer outcomes by increasing adoption and effective usage of current entitlements, ensuring customers realize measurable value from the solutions they already own.

  • Identify and remove adoption or consumption blockers (process, technical, or organizational), partnering with customer stakeholders and internal teams to accelerate progress.

  • Translate customer objectives into a practical adoption roadmap (milestones, success criteria, operational readiness) that supports renewal health and long-term stickiness.

  • Spot and qualify expansion opportunities by connecting customer initiatives and emerging use cases to additional solution capabilities, and coordinate with account teams to pursue growth paths responsibly.

Internal Collaboration & Enablement

  • Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Product, Support, and Engineering teams.

  • Provide customer feedback to influence product direction and roadmap alignment.

  • Share patterns, lessons learned, and best practices across the Lighthouse team.

  • Contribute to internal documentation, enablement content, and architectural standards.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in technical consulting, solution architecture, or enterprise IT roles.

  • Strong background in designing and supporting complex enterprise solutions.

  • Experience working directly with customers in advisory or pre/post-sales technical roles.

  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Proven ability to operate independently with executive-level customers.

  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and relationship management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting large, complex enterprise accounts.

  • Familiarity with modern enterprise architectures (cloud, identity, security, endpoint, virtualization, integrations, etc.).

  • Experience influencing technical decisions without direct authority.

  • Prior experience in Customer Success, Architecture, or Professional Services organizations.
