About the role

65% solution architecture and use-case discovery, 35% engagement management.
Credibility at this customer is earned through technical depth, not relationship tenure.
The 35% exists to prevent the role from drifting into pure delivery work.

Hold design authority over NX1 deployment patterns at the customer - attend and actively contribute to architecture review boards, security reviews, and data governance forums
Design and defend the integration architecture across the customer's data stack: identity federation, CDC patterns, governance metadata, data lineage, network segmentation, encryption
Identify the next workloads NX1 is positioned to support before the customer has fully articulated them - and qualify those opportunities with stakeholder context and technical depth before handing them to the AE
Produce high-quality design documents that hold up to hostile review boards without you in the room
Own the NX1 internal cadence on the account - keep engineering, FDEs, product, and the AE aligned on what's happening at the customer
Maintain executive-level relationships with customer business and IT leadership at the appropriate cadence
Own escalation leadership when something breaks - you're the person in the room
