Job Summary

At Prominence Advisors, Solution Engineers sit at the intersection of our clients, sales team, and consulting and technical teams. They serve as the bridge between understanding a client's challenges and designing practical, tailored solutions that align with both business goals and implementation realities.

Solution Engineers engage early in the sales process to understand what a client is trying to accomplish, uncover business and technical requirements, and shape how Prominence can help. They bring together the right people, experience, and expertise to develop solutions that align with the client's goals while accounting for implementation realities. They are responsible for helping ensure proposed solutions are technically feasible, appropriately scoped, and realistic for Prominence to deliver. This includes evaluating architecture options, technical tradeoffs, dependencies, and build-vs.-buy considerations before an approach is recommended. Additionally, they support the transition from sales to delivery, making sure critical knowledge, decisions, and expectations are documented and communicated.

This is not a traditional software pre-sales role. Prominence delivers consulting expertise and outcomes rather than simply selling a product, so every opportunity can look different. Solution Engineers work across a variety of healthcare data, analytics, and technology challenges and help prospective clients understand both what is possible and what working with Prominence could look like. They must be comfortable moving from conversations with healthcare executives and business leaders into detailed technical discussions with architects, engineers, analysts, and other subject matter experts.

Our ideal team members are humble, smart, and driven to ensure our customer’s success. This includes a passion to deliver high-quality results, while teaching our counterparts how to fish and grow the skills needed to support and expand upon the deliverables of our projects.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

• Lead and participate in client discovery conversations to understand business goals, technical challenges, requirements, priorities, and constraints.
• Design tailored solutions and implementation approaches that translate client needs into actionable, achievable engagements that are technically feasible, appropriately scoped, and realistic for Prominence to deliver.
• Evaluate architecture options, technical tradeoffs, dependencies, and build vs. buy decisions, identifying the implications, risks, and constraints of different approaches.
• Collaborate with sales, partner managers, technical subject matter experts, and delivery leaders to bring the right Prominence expertise into each opportunity.
• Develop technical approaches, architectures, demonstrations, estimates, timelines, staffing recommendations, scopes, presentations, and proposal content as needed.
• Translate between business needs and technical considerations, moving comfortably between executive/business conversations and detailed technical discussions and adapting the level of detail for each audience.
• Provide subject matter expertise during client conversations, presentations, and solution-development activities, while recognizing when deeper technical expertise is needed and bringing the appropriate SMEs into the conversation.
• Quickly develop enough fluency in unfamiliar technologies or technical domains to ask the right questions, identify risks or gaps, and determine what additional expertise is needed.

• Demonstrated ability to lead or contribute to client discovery, requirements gathering, solution design, or scoping activities.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to synthesize business and technical information into a clear recommended approach and articulate the technical tradeoffs behind that recommendation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with healthcare executives, business leaders, technical teams, and subject matter experts.
• Ability to move comfortably between high-level business conversations and detailed technical discussions.
• Experience collaborating across multiple teams or disciplines to develop solutions, recommendations, proposals, or project plans.
• Ability to develop and communicate project assumptions, estimates, timelines, dependencies, risks, and implementation considerations.
