Solutions Architect

At Convergence Group, we’ve spent the last 20+ years building a business driven by ambition, innovation, and exceptional people. We design and manage enterprise WAN, LAN, WiFi and Security solutions for some of the UK’s most demanding organisations - and we’re growing fast. Now we’re looking for a Solutions Architect toplay a key role in shaping customer outcomes and driving technical excellence across our business.

What it’s really like here

The pace and intensity are higher than most environments in our sector. The workload is typically around 30% greater than many people will have experienced elsewhere -not because we are chaotic, but because we are ambitious and constantly building. We grow organically and through acquisition, continuously integrating, improving and raising the bar. The landscape evolves, priorities shift, and expectations rise. If you prefer a predictable, static environment, this probably won’t feel comfortable. If you are energised by growth, movement and high standards, it can be deeply rewarding.

Your strengths will have a bigger platform here -and you will be stretched behaviourally more than in most environments. We value respectful honesty: anyone can challenge an idea; hierarchy doesn’t protect thinking and getting it right matters more than being right. Ego doesn’t perform well here; curiosity, learning and ownership do. We hire people who are already strong at their craft -the stretch at Convergence Group is navigating pace, complexity and constant evolution. This environment isn’t for everyone, but for the right person it offers an exceptional opportunity for impact, growth and accelerated development.

What you’ll do as our Solutions Architect:

• Design tailored LAN & WAN solutions that fit perfectly with our product set.
• Partner with Sales & Accountteams to understand customer needs, attend meetings and reviews,and bring the tech know-how that helps close deals.
• Leading technical conversations with customers - simplifying complexity and building trust
• Produce professional documentation like SOWs, HLDs, and schematics that stand up to scrutiny.
• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Service Delivery, and Account Management teamsto win new business, support renewals and keep current customers happy.
• Track and manage activity in our CRM and contribute to a pipeline worth over £1m Gross Margin each year.
• Optimise every solution so it’s profitable, reliable, and built to deliver long-lasting value.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years as a Solutions Architect (or similar) working closely with customers in the sales cycle
• A background in technical pre-sales support in Managed WAN/LAN Services, ideally with Cisco, Extreme, or Fortinet tech under your belt
• Experience innetworkdesign, bespoke customer solutions and documentation
• WAN know-how: Leased Lines, Carrier Ethernet, EFM, xDSL
• LAN knowledge across DC, core, aggregation, and access layers
• Up-to-date skills inSDN, SD-WAN, NFV, and network virtualisation
• Wi-Fi wisdom: CAPWAP, WPA, 802.1X, mesh and controllers
• Strong communication skills - you know how to talk to humans, not just switches
• UK driving licence & ability to pass BPSS and other clearance checks

What’s in it for you?

• Salary:£65-88,000+ commission + car allowance for experienced A-players
• Time off:33 days holidayincluding bank holidays
• Benefits:Private medical, enhanced pension, income protection & life assurance.
• Balance:Flexible core hours + hybrid working (2 days a month in our Solihull office).
• Perks:Dog-friendly office – yes really!
