Company: Softchoice

At Softchoice, our purpose is to unleash the potential of people and technology. We were built around the idea that there is no success without team success. We foster a culture of inclusion and fairness, where diverse interests, experiences, and backgrounds are celebrated. We strive to empower everyone, to ensure that every employee has a path to success — andwe’rein it together to make life better for each other, our customers, our partners, and our communities.

The convergence of cloud, AI, and modern work is redefining what it means to be a productive, secure, and connected organization. Softchoice is reimagining the role we play in our customers’ lives, and we areseekinga senior technical and delivery authority to lead that transformation within our Workplace practice.

As the Solution Lead, you are the senior-most technical and delivery authority for Workplace engagements spanning Microsoft 365, Collaboration & Messaging, Identity & Security, and Endpoint Management. You are the person who walks into a C-level conversation, translates complex business challenges into modern workplace transformation strategies, and then leads a team of architects and consultants to deliver them. You bridge pre-sales and delivery seamlessly — your clients trust you to define what good looks like, and your team trusts you to back them up when things get hard.

This is not a role for someone who knows one Workplace platform well. It requires genuine fluency across the Microsoft, Cisco, and Apple enterprise ecosystems — the ability to guide customers to the rightplatformdecisions based on their workforce needs, governance requirements, and long-term strategy. In addition to technical depth, you bring the business acumen to drive the financial success of a P&L, the maturity to lead senior practitioners, and the presence torepresentSoftchoice at the highest levels of a client organization.
