About the Job

Requirements

  • Have 7–10+ years of professional experience in cloud, data, enterprise architecture, or a closely adjacent technical discipline, including meaningful time in professional services or consulting.
  • Have personally designed and delivered technical solutions in the capability areas represented, rather than serving in an advisory-only capacity.
  • Demonstrate the ability to independently lead discovery sessions, solution design workshops, and proof-of-concept delivery.
  • Have experience building solution estimates, staffing plans, and project assumptions that delivery teams can execute against.
  • Be comfortable carrying individual revenue booking accountability alongside field sellers.
  • Be proficient in leveraging artificial intelligence technologies to drive innovation and support presales workflows.
  • Have a solid understanding of artificial intelligence capabilities and limitations, including ethical considerations.
  • Demonstrate the ability to leverage artificial intelligence tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support data-informed task execution.
  • Reside near one of Perficient's offices.
  • Demonstrate flexibility to travel as needed to support partner, client, and business priorities.

Responsibilities

  • Own the client narrative through origination, including discovery, solution design, and proof-of-concept, independently of Senior or Lead oversight.
  • Independently translate client business problems into scoped, deliverable technical solutions.
  • Lead technical discovery sessions and solution design workshops.
  • Build solution estimates, staffing plans, and proof-of-concept or demonstration assets that anchor the deal.
  • Assess solution fit against client constraints and Perficient's delivery capability.
  • Apply partner ecosystem architecture patterns to client-specific solution design.
  • Lead technical presales engagements, including discovery, solution design workshops, and architecture reviews.
  • Lead requests for proposal responses, statements of work scoping, and solution estimation with sales and delivery leads.
  • Represent Perficient's technical and business credibility directly in partner conversations.
  • Co-sell alongside Perficient field sellers and field delivery executives, carrying personal revenue booking accountability.
  • Maintain 4–12 hours per week of billable time on deals personally shaped in presales, not general delivery bench capacity.
  • Lead proof-of-concept and demonstration delivery showcasing Perficient's artificial intelligence-first offerings.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with partner sales, engineering, and product teams.
  • Build practice intellectual property, including reusable proof-of-concept assets, accelerators, and reference patterns for the partner ecosystem.
  • Mentor go-to-market Solution Consultants on discovery, proof-of-concept delivery, and technical credibility.
  • Carry personal accountability for delivery fidelity to the solution as sold.
  • Preserve win-to-delivery credibility as the named owner of the shaped solution.
  • Drive long-term client relationships beyond the individual deal, sustaining credibility for future pursuits.
  • Deliver solution estimates and staffing plans, translating them into executable project plans.

Desired Qualifications

  • Partner-aligned presales experience with ServiceNow, Appian, or Pega.
  • A partner-recognized certification in the relevant ecosystem.
  • Experience contributing to practice intellectual property, such as proof-of-concept assets, accelerators, or reference patterns.
  • Industry vertical exposure in Healthcare, Life Sciences, Financial Services, Retail, or Automotive and Manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with artificial intelligence-enhanced platforms.
