Senior Modern Workplace Solutions Architect

Job Title:       Senior Modern Workplace Solution Architect (Pre-Sales)

Location:       Leeds or Reading Office Location - Remote

Salary:           Competitive

Job Type:      Full Time / Permanent

The Role

As a Senior Modern Workplace Solution Architect at TIEVA, you will lead customer discovery, shape solution direction, and ensure that what is proposed is deliverable, secure, commercially sound, and aligned to customer outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of Sales, Architecture, and Delivery, with clear accountability for solution integrity from first conversation through to project mobilisation.

This is not a delivery role and not a supporting function. You are expected to exercise judgement, challenge assumptions, and bring clarity to complex or ambiguous opportunities.

The Candidate

Key Responsibilities:

• Owning the end-to-end Modern Workplace pre-sales outcomes for assigned opportunities. 

• Leading high-quality discovery with senior IT and business stakeholders. 

• Translating business intent into clear, staged, and defensible Modern Workplace solutions. 

• Producing Statements of Work that are unambiguous, commercially robust, and delivery ready. 

• Ensuring Modern Workplace solutions align with TIEVA delivery capability, standards, and governance. 

• Reducing downstream delivery risk through strong assumptions, exclusions, and design clarity. 

• Reusing and refining reference architectures, patterns, and artefacts to drive consistency and scale.

Solutioning:

You will design Modern Workplace solutions that balance user experience, security, cost, and operational reality, including:

• Microsoft 365 collaboration and productivity platforms (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Viva). 

• Endpoint and device management strategies using Intune, Autopilot, and lifecycle tooling. 

• Identity, security, and compliance design using Entra ID, Conditional Access, Defender, and Purview. 

• Migration strategies for Exchange, SharePoint, file services, and endpoint estates. 

• Sensible adoption of emerging capabilities (e.g. Copilot), with clear positioning on when, why, and when not. 

• You will be expected to make architectural trade-offs and clearly articulate them to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Cross-Functional Delivery:

• Produce high-quality SOWs, proposals, RFP responses, and solution documentation. 

• Deliver workshops, demos, and PoCs to articulate designs and business value to technical and non-technical audiences. 

• Collaborate with Sales, Delivery, and PMO teams to ensure seamless project handover and alignment with delivery capability. 

• Maintain reusable templates, reference architectures, and best-practice artefacts to scale Modern Workplace engagements.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years designing and delivering Microsoft 365 / Modern Workplace solutions. 

• Strong experience across M365 collaboration, endpoint management (Intune), and security. 

• Proven pre-sales capability: discovery, workshops, solution shaping, and SOW creation. 

• Confidence engaging senior customer stakeholders and leading solution discussions. 

• Ability to balance architectural best practice with commercial and operational reality. 

• Strong written communication and documentation skills.
