We're working with a stealth stage Agentic AI startup who have just secured their firs £10m in funding. Pre-Sales Solution Architect, you’ll be the technical face of company in every customer engagement — from first discovery call through to post-sale handoff. You’ll bridge the gap between what the platform can do and what the customer needs it to do, translating complex multi-agent AI capabilities into clear, compelling solutions. This is a hands-on, front-line role. You’ll run live demonstrations, architect bespoke solutions during technical discovery, lead the technical narrative in RFP and proposal responses, and ensure seamless transitions into delivery. You’ll work closely with the founding team, our engineering function, and our channel partners.
