Solutions Architect-Proposal Strategy & Technical Solutions

We’re looking for a sharp, experienced Solutions Architect who thrives at the intersection of technology strategy and competitive proposal work. This isn’t a purely back-office architecture role. You’ll be a key player in winning new business, crafting compelling technical narratives, and translating complex solutions into clear, persuasive proposals that resonate with clients and evaluators alike.

You’ll partner with business development, capture, and delivery teams to shape winning strategies from the earliest stages of a pursuit through final submission and beyond into delivery.

If you want to shape how we win and not just how we deliver, this is the role for you. You’ll have a direct line of sight from strategy to solution to contract award, with real influence over the technical direction of pursuits that matter.

• Collaborate with capture managers and BD lead to shape solution strategy during RFI response, pre-RFP engagement, and competitive positioning
• Translate technical complexity into language that resonates with non-technical evaluators and decision-makers

Architecture & Delivery

• Design end-to-end solution architectures that are scalable, secure, and aligned to client environments and constraints
• Build and maintain architectural frameworks, reference architectures, and reusable solution components that accelerate future proposals
• Engage directly with client stakeholders to understand mission needs, technical environments, and acquisition priorities
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend where they create genuine competitive advantage

Team & Thought Leadership

• Mentor engineers and junior architects, raising the technical quality bar across the team
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, lessons learned, and proposal best practices
• Help grow our reputation through white papers, conference talks, or client workshops when relevant
