Job summary

Notion is seeking a Forward Deployed Architect in Korea to translate client goals into scalable AI-native workflows and production architectures. You will lead multi-workstream engagements, guide discovery and solution design, and decide how Notion should own and integrate with existing systems to deliver measurable business value.

You will work hands-on across discovery, launch planning, adoption, and handoff, coaching other architects and coordinating Forward Deployed Engineers.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in tech services/consulting, solutions architecture, implementation, customer engineering, or a similar customer-facing role.
• Translate ambiguous customer goals into clear workflows, implementation plans, solution architectures, and measurable success criteria.
• Strong consultative discovery skills to map current-state workflows, identify customer pain, understand operating models, surface technical constraints, and define practical future-state solutions.
• Hands-on AI builder mindset, with experience using AI tools to design, prototype, automate, or improve real business workflows.
• Proven track record of designing and deploying AI-powered workflows or agents in production for customers.
• Hands-on depth in data modeling, permission design, API and integration patterns, enterprise security and governance, and data validation with SQL or scripts.
• Strong project and engagement management skills, including ownership of scope, timeline, deliverables, stakeholder alignment, risks, decisions, dependencies and launch readiness.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for business, technical, and executive audiences.
• Strong executive presence and customer judgment, with the ability to build trust, frame tradeoffs clearly, and move ambiguous decisions forward.
• Experience coaching consultants or architects, and building methods, reference architectures or packaged services that others adopt.
• Bias toward action, high learning velocity, and comfort building in fast-changing AI-native product environments.
• Professional fluency in Korean and English.

Responsibilities

• Lead Notion’s most complex, multi-workstream customer engagements in Korea end to end, from scoping and discovery through launch, adoption and handoff, often where the future state and success measures are not yet defined.
• Shape Services scope, effort estimates and implementation strategy with account teams during pre‑sales, then deliver against the agreed scope, timeline and outcomes, recovering engagements that go off track.
• Drive executive alignment on ambiguous, high‑stakes decisions: facilitate discovery and architecture workshops, frame tradeoffs clearly and deliver hard messages directly.
• Decide where Notion should own, complement or connect to existing systems, and design scalable architectures and AI‑native workflows to a production quality bar, including permission design, AI evaluation, human‑in‑the‑loop controls and operational ownership.
• Orchestrate Forward Deployed Engineers, partners and internal teams: define when deeper engineering is required and set clear scope, ownership and handoffs.
• Lead change management and adoption through stakeholder alignment, champion programs, phased rollouts and enablement, so customer teams sustain usage and realize measurable value.
• Coach other architects and partners, and scale the Korea Services practice through reusable reference architectures, packaged solutions and localized enablement.
• Turn field patterns into evidence-backed product signals (customer pain, business impact, expected outcome and frequency) that influence Notion’s roadmap.
