Role: Solutions Architect - Europe

Location: Dublin, Ireland

This role is for our USA based Client based in Ireland (Dublin), would require travel within Europe.

The role

USA MNC is hiring a Senior Solutions Architect, Delivery to implement and validate the USA MNC PRODUCT platform for pharmaceutical and life sciences customers across Europe. The role will be based in Ireland and is primarily an onsite service delivery role, estimated at 75% of the work, with the remainder engaging in pre-sales solution consulting across the region. The balance will shift with customer demand, so candidates should be comfortable moving between the two. You will work as part of USA MNC global team of solutions architects and delivery specialists, with Europe as your primary focus.

What you will do

1 · Implementation and validation delivery

Deliver USA MNC PRODUCT implementations and validations for European pharma and life sciences customers, from discovery through configuration, testing, validation and handover. Ensure delivery meets GxP expectations including EU GMP Annex 11 and Annex 15, 21 CFR Part 11, ALCOA+ and GAMP 5. Work closely with USA MNC global delivery team, sharing patterns and standards across regions.

2 · Technical architecture and solution design

Design the technical architecture for instrument and system connectivity on your engagements, producing solutions that are scalable, compliant and supportable. Translate customer needs into clear technical requirements. Contribute to reusable integration patterns and drive configuration-led reuse across equivalent instruments, laboratories and sites rather than one-off builds.

3 · Customer engagement and consulting

Conduct discovery workshops, identify and quantify the business problem, and agree on success criteria with the customer. Give value-oriented technical recommendations and challenge unnecessary customization where a standard approach will serve better. Provide technical continuity from discovery through deployment and Hypercare, surfacing cross-team and cross-vendor dependencies before they block delivery.

4 · Pre-sales solution support

Support European sales engagements as part of the solutions architecture team: discovery calls, requirements capture, product demonstrations and technical responses to RFIs and RFPs. Deliver demonstrations of USA MNCs integration, automation and AI agent capabilities, mapping each to a specific customer pain point rather than presenting features. Review Statements of Work and estimates so that what is committed is technically achievable. Provide field input back to Product Management and Engineering.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing

Contribute to technical documentation, internal playbooks, and customer-facing collateral. Share what you learn in the field with colleagues across regions and draw on their experience in return. As the European business grows and the team expands, there will be opportunity to take on a broader role in shaping regional presales and solution delivery.
