• Architect, position, and differentiate solutions built around strategic collaboration technologies including Cisco, Zoom, and RingCentral, aligning platform capabilities to customer business goals, technical requirements, and operational priorities.
• Serve as the primary technical resource in support of account executives, trusted advisors, and solution services teams throughout the sales cycle.

• Proven experience architecting and supporting enterprise collaboration solutions in a customer‑facing pre‑sales, consulting, or senior engineering role.
• Deep knowledge of unified communications and collaboration platforms, including enterprise calling, meetings, messaging, device ecosystems, voicemail, attendant and receptionist workflows, and mobility and user experience considerations.
• Strong understanding of collaboration migration strategies, hybrid architecture patterns, numbering plans, dial plans, call routing, survivability, carrier connectivity, and operational readiness.
• Ability to evaluate and design around adjacent requirements such as contact center integration, compliance, security, identity, networking, reporting, and adoption and change management.
• Experience with strategic collaboration platforms, carrier services, enterprise networking dependencies, and modern workplace transformation initiatives is preferred.
• Experience supporting enterprise collaboration assessments, migrations, and modernization efforts involving Cisco, Zoom, and RingCentral environments is preferred.
• Familiarity with adjacent technologies and dependencies such as SIP trunking, session border controllers, contact center platforms, identity providers, compliance solutions, and device lifecycle considerations is preferred.
• Relevant partner certifications, specializations, or demonstrated technical proficiency related to Cisco, Zoom, RingCentral, or associated collaboration ecosystems are strongly preferred.
