Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Translate partner capabilities and market needs into clear product requirements, specifications, and measurable success criteria.
- Author and maintain solution requirements and solution definition documents that guide development teams from concept to validated design.
- Define use cases, target outcomes, and acceptance criteria for each joint solution, and validate them with partners, customers, and internal stakeholders before committing build resources.
- Define the technical shape of joint solutions in partnership with partner product and engineering teams and internal architects, spanning infrastructure, networking, and AI/data center architectures.
- Make and document key design decisions and trade offs, balancing technical feasibility, cost, time to market, and customer value.
- Drive resolution of open technical questions across the solution lifecycle and keep designs coherent.
- Codify reference architectures into repeatable, configurable designs that solution design and delivery teams use to execute customer engagements without redesign.
- Maintain prioritization and the roadmap for which partner solutions are designed and advanced through the incubation pipeline.
- Build the business case for each candidate solution: market opportunity, partner commitment, technical viability, and expected outcomes.
- Track the solution portfolio across stages, balancing near term delivery against longer term bets, and make clear go / no go and sequencing recommendations to leadership.
- Act as a central design and product point of contact across Product Management, Partners & Alliances, Solution Development, Market Development, and Solution Delivery.
- Lead design reviews and stage gates, and synthesize feedback into stronger solution definitions.
Requirements

- Strong technical fluency across infrastructure, networking, and/or AI/data center architectures, sufficient to lead design decisions with partner engineering teams.
- Proven ability to write clear business cases, solution requirements, go to market strategy, and reference architecture documentation.
- Experience prioritizing a roadmap or portfolio and building business cases for investment.
- Excellent communication skills, including aligning technical and commercial stakeholders and presenting design recommendations to leadership.
- Experience with strategic technology partners or joint solution development strongly preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree in a technical, business, or related field; equivalent experience considered.
