Your Role
The CPO Solution Architect is accountable for defining, developing and presenting converged packet optical architecture based solutions with key customers & partners as well as the broader Sales/SE community in the international region. The architect also supports the BD and sales organisation in identifying and developing related business opportunities.
A key task is designing advanced network architectures and solutions with particular focus on optical and packet transport technologies. With that the solution architect provides the sales teams with key solutions for the packet-optical business. Besides the technical definition of the solutions this also includes non-technical aspects like migrations, operational processes and business value analysis.
The solution architect is involved in interfacing with customers at all stages, acting as a primary voice for Ciena as relates to Ethernet/IP solutions and their value. An important part of the role is also to support RFx responses, with a focus on solution definition, solution costing, advanced architectures and future product features.
This is a highly interactive role, liaising with many organizations within Ciena, including sales and sales engineering teams, as well as corporate entities within Ciena (Product Line Management, R&D, CTO, Professional Services).
Another key function is knowledge transfer to ensure continuous upskilling of the sales teams. As such the architect will need to transfer knowledge to local sales and sales/systems engineering resources to build increasing fluency in architectural as opposed to product based solutions and business value in addition to technical differentiation.
