• Drive alignment across internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering) to ensure cohesive solutions
• Support proposal and capture efforts, contributing to technical volumes, solution narratives, and overall response strategy
• Build and sustain trusted customer relationships by demonstrating domain awareness, technical credibility, and a consistent focus on mission outcomes
• Mentor junior Solution Architects and Solution Engineers, establishing best practices for discovery, solutioning, and customer engagement
• Drive cross-program technical alignment by creating reusable architectures, patterns, and accelerators that improve delivery consistency and speed.
