About the role

  • The Senior Solutions Architect, MSP is the technical front line of a newly stood-up global practice dedicated to managed service providers at Everpure.
  • This is a field-facing, deal-led role carrying technical responsibility for MSP opportunities end to end, from early shaping through to close across the full Everpure platform.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical leadership of MSP opportunities end to end: discovery, solution design, sizing, competitive positioning, POCs and technical close.
  • Engage early to shape the platform the managed service will be built on.
  • Drive strategic deals in existing MSP accounts, and open whitespace MSPs in your region.
  • Support the MSP’s own sales cycles with their end customers, co-selling live rather than briefing from the sidelines.
  • Define the end-to-end architecture including multi-tenancy, automation, provisioning, operational model and integration into the MSP’s existing service stack.
  • Model and influence the commercial construct: managed service unit economics, cost per tenant, TB and workload, Evergreen//One and consumption models, and the margin story.
  • Design for the way MSPs actually operate; API-led, automated, billable.
  • Displace the competitors in MSP environments and position/win across the full platform.
  • Build technical credibility with the partner, establishing yourself as the trusted technical voice with MSP architects, practice leads and CTOs.
  • Bring real MSP requirements back into the new global MSP program and Product Management.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in pre-sales, solutions architecture or technical leadership, with a demonstrable record of winning partner-led business.
  • Direct experience with MSPs, and a real understanding of how they build, price, operate and sell a managed service.
  • Commercial fluency, comfortable discussing consumption economics, TCO and margin with an MSP’s finance and practice leadership.
  • Track record of driving and closing technically complex deals in a competitive environment.
  • Credible at depth across modern data platform architecture: block, file and object, unstructured data at scale, hybrid and cloud data services, Kubernetes and storage-as-a-service models.
  • Strong working knowledge of compute, database, networking and virtualization, plus emerging areas including AI/ML data pipelines and data governance and classification.
  • Fluent in cyber resilience, virtualization migration dynamics and the competitive landscape.
  • Practical command of multi-tenancy, automation and API-driven infrastructure.
  • Product experience across technology vendors within the relevant region.
  • Executive presence to move between an MSP CTO conversation and a whiteboard architecture session.
