Solutions Architect

Romandamedia Llc; New York (NY); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Romanda Media LLC is seeking a HubSpot-focused implementation expert who designs and delivers real HubSpot solutions rather than just administering portals. You will prefer native HubSpot objects, communicate complex decisions clearly, and produce crucial documentation guiding the project from discovery to delivery.

Expect to work with clients with messy data environments, map current and future states, and define what will not be built when simpler approaches suffice.

Qualifications

• Designed and delivered real HubSpot implementations, not just portal administration.
• Prefer native HubSpot objects first; know when a custom object is warranted.
• Comfortable in messy client environments with undocumented systems and data gaps.
• Able to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders without slogans.
• Produces written deliverables that become the basis for downstream work.

Responsibilities

• Technical discovery with client teams to map current and future state.
• Draft written requirements that the build must satisfy and present at design meetings.
• Owns HubSpot architecture concepts: objects, lifecycle definitions, pipelines, and integrations.
• Decide what to exclude from the build when simpler solutions exist.
• Stay with the build through delivery to ensure design meets actual outcomes.

Job description

• Technical Discovery: reverse demos with a client's team, then the current-state and future-state systems maps that come out of them.
• The written requirements a build is signed off against, and presenting them at the solutions design meeting.
• The HubSpot architecture itself: object model, lifecycle definitions, pipelines, properties, and the integrations that feed them.
• Deciding what does not get built. A large part of this role is talking a client out of the thing they asked for when a simpler one works.
• Staying with the build through delivery, so the design is answerable to whether it actually worked.

What we are looking for

• You have designed and delivered real HubSpot implementations, not just administered an existing portal.
• You reach for native objects first and can say precisely when a custom object is warranted.
• You are comfortable in a client's messy current state: undocumented systems, a spreadsheet nobody mentioned, two sources of truth for the same number.
• You can explain a technical decision to someone non-technical without flattening it into a slogan.
• You write. The deliverables of this role are documents other people build from.

What would make this hard

• This is currently Roman's role, so you would be taking over work he has done himself and has opinions about. Expect that to be a conversation rather than a handover.
• Our clients are service businesses where attribution is genuinely hard. Clean answers are rare and you have to be able to say so.
