Role Overview
Play a key role in shaping solution strategy for medium-complexity pursuits, with a focus on secure infrastructure and hosting environments.
Help create solutions that are robust, cost-effective, and aligned with customer outcomes.
Take ownership of the solution journey — from understanding requirements through to design, costing, governance, and handover.
Work collaboratively within dedicated Pursuit Teams to develop proposals for high-profile, strategic infrastructure programmes.
Build strong, open relationships with customers — listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and shaping solutions that reflect their priorities and DXC’s strengths.
Translate requirements into clear, high-level solution architectures across data centres, on-prem hosting, server platforms, networks, and secure environments.
Facilitate solution workshops, fostering shared understanding across service towers, architects, technical specialists, and third-party partners.
Develop transparent and accurate cost models, covering labour, hardware, software, and vendor components.
Partner with DXC Supply Chain teams to validate vendor pricing, commercial assumptions, and terms.
Capture risks, assumptions, and constraints clearly, supporting strong governance and informed decision-making.
Produce and present engaging technical content for proposals, internal boards, and client discussions.
Support a smooth transition into delivery, ensuring continuity and clarity for all involved.
Requirements
Experience in presales, solution consulting, or solution architecture.
Confidence taking a requirement, shaping a solution, building a cost model, and articulating the value behind it.

Experience working across multiple technical towers and weaving contributions into a cohesive solution.
Comfort facilitating workshops and guiding discussions toward clarity and shared outcomes.
