Why should you join this team?

Our team is at the center of one of the most active shifts in enterprise infrastructure.

Technical Solutions Architects at WWT are high‑functioning subject‑matter experts who transform the market with innovative solutions that amplify customer value and WWT profitability. This is a pre‑sales role centered on customer‑facing workshops, briefings, and technical advisory across our virtualization portfolio. You’ll serve as the team’s subject‑matter expert for Windows Server and Hyper‑V, advising customers on architecture, design, and operations across their Microsoft virtualization environments. You may also carry responsibilities around Azure Local, helping customers extend their Windows and hybrid platform strategy.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide technical pre‑sales support to field sales teams in their efforts to win new logos and grow existing customer relationships around Windows Server, Hyper‑V, and related Microsoft platform solutions.
• Lead customer‑facing workshops, executive briefings, and technical advisory engagements on Windows Server and Hyper‑V architecture and platform strategy.
• Serve as the team’s credible SME for Windows Server and Hyper‑V, and contribute to Azure Local engagements as demand requires.
• Build and maintain technical marketing and proof‑of‑work collateral — reference architectures, solution briefings, and thought leadership — for field teams and customers.

• Strong interpersonal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to lead technical conversations with both engineers and executives.
• Strong organizational, writing, and editing skills.
• Practical working knowledge of modern AI tools — including Claude, which our team leverages heavily — and a demonstrated interest in using them to work more effectively.
• Demonstrated teamwork and alignment with WWT’s culture and core values.
• Relevant vendor certifications (Microsoft Azure/Windows Server certifications such as AZ‑800/AZ‑801) or plan to immediately attain required.
