With more than 14,000 team members and over 60 locations globally, WWT's culture—grounded in core values and leadership philosophies—has been recognized by Fortune® and Great Place to Work for its commitment to innovation, trust and creating a great place to work for all. WWT provides products and services to large enterprise, global service provider and public sector clients in up to 130 countries across six continents. Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company, supports commercial and SMB markets in the U.S. and Canada.

Why should you join this team?

Our team is at the center of one of the most active shifts in enterprise infrastructure. As customers evaluate and evolve their platform strategy, this position plays a critical role in defining and building the go‑to‑market solutions that guide those decisions — as well as enabling and supporting our at‑large field sales organization. Much of this work is delivered in close partnership with Softchoice as a co‑selling motion. We operate in a dynamic environment where innovation, honest technical analysis, and collaboration are encouraged. This is an exciting opportunity for a well‑qualified and passionate team player looking to make a real impact.

What will you be doing?

Technical Solutions Architects at WWT are high‑functioning subject‑matter experts who transform the market with innovative solutions that amplify customer value and WWT profitability. This is a pre‑sales role centered on customer‑facing workshops, briefings, and technical advisory across our virtualization portfolio. You’ll serve as the team’s subject‑matter expert for Windows Server and Hyper‑V, advising customers on architecture, design, and operations across their Microsoft virtualization environments. You may also carry responsibilities around Azure Local, helping customers extend their Windows and hybrid platform strategy.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide technical pre‑sales support to field sales teams in their efforts to win new logos and grow existing customer relationships around Windows Server, Hyper‑V, and related Microsoft platform solutions.
• Lead customer‑facing workshops, executive briefings, and technical advisory engagements on Windows Server and Hyper‑V architecture and platform strategy.
• Serve as the team’s credible SME for Windows Server and Hyper‑V, and contribute to Azure Local engagements as demand requires.
• Build and maintain technical marketing and proof‑of‑work collateral — reference architectures, solution briefings, and thought leadership — for field teams and customers.
• Collaborate with the larger GS&A team, professional services, regional sellers and architects, and sales leadership to advance the virtualization solution portfolio and go‑to‑market strategy.
• Partner with Softchoice on joint co‑selling motions.
• Train WWT staff and strategic partners on our ability to market, sell, and deliver Windows and virtualization architectures.
• Achieve and maintain certification requirements to sustain partner status and specializations.

Qualifications:

• At least 5 years architecting, implementing, selling, and/or marketing Windows Server and virtualization solutions as a hands‑on SME.
• Strong, recent, hands‑on technical expertise with Windows Server and Hyper‑V — including design, deployment, clustering, and operations. Currency matters; this is a fast‑moving space.
• Working knowledge of Azure Local (Azure Stack HCI) is a strong plus, or a demonstrated ability to ramp into it.
• Strong interpersonal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to lead technical conversations with both engineers and executives.
• Strong organizational, writing, and editing skills.
• Practical working knowledge of modern AI tools — including Claude, which our team leverages heavily — and a demonstrated interest in using them to work more effectively.
• Demonstrated teamwork and alignment with WWT’s culture and core values.
• Relevant vendor certifications (Microsoft Azure/Windows Server certifications such as AZ‑800/AZ‑801) or plan to immediately attain required.
• Ability for overnight travel (25%-50%).
• 4‑year bachelor’s degree in an IT‑related field or equivalent professional experience preferred.
