Role Overview
The Virtualization Specialist Solutions Architect plays an important role in providing deep technical sales support for the execution of Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies related to OpenShift, as well as OpenStack, as an infrastructure platform on bare metal. As OpenShift penetrates further into the infrastructure space, you will be responsible for articulating how organizations can utilize this platform to their advantage in their search for operational efficiency, developer productivity and business continuity.
What You Will Do
Work with the customer Account Executive, Sales Specialist, and Solution Architect to identify challenges and blockers to adoption of OpenShift or OpenStack as an infrastructure platform, as well as consumption within new and existing customer accounts. Plan, design and execute tailored solutions which will effectively address the above, leveraging additional support and resources from Red Hat as required.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You will need to be able to confidently articulate our value proposition to leadership, operations teams, and developers within the account. Using architecture walkthroughs, business-value conversations, technical workshops and implementation of best practices, you will be able to provide an end-to-end solution that leads to design and implementation specific to the customer – allowing them to realize the business value and understand the path forward with Red Hat as a trusted partner.
