This role is pivotal in the transition to serving larger customers with more complex needs, and the focus is on customer growth and technical engagement. The Head of Solution Architecture will be responsible for a select number of key customers, ensuring their successful onboarding, usage, and expansion. This includes owning the technical relationship, engaging in enterprise-level conversations, and being the go-to technical contact for the customer.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
