You will work closely with sales, delivery teams and technology partners to shape winning, deliverable offers built on Managed Services best practices.

What You Will Do on a Daily Basis

• Analyse technical trends, customer challenges and requirements;
• Design end-to-end solutions that align with both the technical and strategic goals of the customer;
• Act as Bid Manager on tenders and RFPs: coordinate the technical response, define the solution approach and ensure deadlines and quality standards are met;
• Collaborate with internal teams (technical, sales, delivery) and technology partners to shape the best possible solution;
• Write clear, compelling and tailored technical solutions, proposals and architecture documentation;
• Translate complex technical concepts into accessible, customer-focused language;
• Support the team throughout the solution lifecycle, including oral presentations, clarifications and handover to delivery, when required.

Your Key Skills

• Proven IT background with 5+ years of experience in solution architecture, pre-sales or technical consulting;
• Experience as Bid Manager or leading technical responses to RFPs/tenders;
• Solid knowledge of enterprise architecture, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS or GCP), networking, security and integration patterns;
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear proposals;
• Strong analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills;
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills;
• English proficiency at C1 level or higher;
• Comfortable working autonomously in an international, remote environment.

Your Main Qualifications

• Architecture certifications (Azure/AWS Solutions Architect) are an asset;
• Experience with public procurement or European Institution tenders is an advantage;
• Additional EU languages, particularly French or German, are an advantage;
• Familiarity with project management frameworks (PRINCE2, PMP, Agile) is an asset;
• Availability for occasional travel to client sites or Axians offices;
• EU Citizenship or valid work permit in the EU.

What We Offer

• Multicultural Environment: You will work alongside professionals from all over the world, fostering a diverse and enriching workplace.
• Diverse Projects: Engage in impactful projects with cutting-edge technological advancements facilitated by European Institutions.
• Skill Development: Work in a knowledge-driven environment where you'll continually develop both technical and professional skills through exposure to complex projects.
