A live role
Manager, Solutions Architecture - UK&I
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is coaching a distributed team of Solutions Architects to win complex technical deals across the UK and Ireland while building the operating practices that let the team scale.
This is for someone who loves being a player-coach: close enough to the deal to help win it, but happiest when a Solutions Architect they mentored lands the technical win themselves. You will set direction across the UK and Ireland, build strong executive relationships, and shape how a distributed team grows and works. If you get energy from turning technical credibility into commercial outcomes and from watching people grow, this suits you.
