Job description

Internal Job Title: Solution Factory Lead

The opportunity

NNIT is seeking a Solution Factory Country Lead to establish and lead our Philippines-based solution engineering and technical presales capability for global customers, particularly in Life Sciences and other regulated industries. This is a hands‑on technical and commercial leadership role: translating complex customer needs into credible architectures, winning proposals and reusable offerings across advisory, implementation, validation, application support and managed services.

What you will do

• Build, recruit, coach and lead a lean multidisciplinary team of solution architects, presales and engineering specialists, drawing on global subject matter experts as needed.

• Lead technical presales from requirements discovery through customer evaluation and deal closure support: RFP/RFI/RFQ responses, Statements of Work (SOWs), demonstrations, proof‑of‑concepts and technical negotiations.

• Architect end‑to‑end customer solutions and delivery approaches spanning advisory, implementation, compliance and validation, application support and managed IT services.

• Shape Life Sciences IT offerings covering GxP, CSV/CSA, Veeva Vault, Medidata, clinical and laboratory platforms, manufacturing/quality systems, AI development and enterprise AI implementation.

• Own technical scoping and estimation; develop cost models, resourcing and onshore/offshore options, risk assumptions, TCO/ROI cases and persuasive, outcome‑led value propositions.

• Develop repeatable solution portfolios, reference architectures, reusable proposal assets and accelerators using customer insights, delivery feedback and emerging technologies.

• Engage stakeholders from C‑suite executives and business leaders to IT architects, quality/regulatory teams and shop‑floor experts; partner with global Sales and Account teams to help close opportunities.

What you bring

• At least five (5) years of relevant experience combining technical presales and solution architecture within IT consulting, professional services or systems integration.

• Hands‑on experience leading technical proposals and RFP responses, drafting SOWs, building effort/cost estimates, presenting value propositions and supporting customer negotiations and deal closure.

• Broad understanding of enterprise IT services, cloud, applications and integration, including exposure to Microsoft technology technical presales.

• Demonstrated ability to lead or build technical teams, coordinate specialists without direct authority, and engage customers at both executive and operational levels.

• Strong commercial judgment, consultative selling, communication, presentation and international stakeholder management skills.

Advantageous experience

• Life Sciences or other regulated‑industry experience; GxP, CSV/CSA, Veeva, Medidata, AI solutions and enterprise applications. Experience in global consulting, enterprise software or cloud firms—including Accenture, IBM, DXC, TCS, Deloitte, AWS or SAP—is advantageous, not mandatory.

• Success means building a capable team, producing competitive technical proposals and sound solution economics, contributing to customer wins, and increasing adoption of reusable offerings.
