About The Position

As a Senior Solutions Architect inside the Solutions Center of Excellence, you will serve as a strategic, technical partner in our most complex enterprise sales cycles.

This role is a transformation from one-off technical fixes to building the architectural foundation that orchestrates work at scale.

• Proven Orchestrator: Extensive experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end or building technical programs from the ground up.
• Deep Technical Acumen: Proficient in scripting (Python, JavaScript, or Node.js) and designing custom integrations using RESTful APIs and serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda).
• Strategic Thinker: You look "around corners" to identify technical obstacles before they arise and can articulate complex initiatives across cross-functional teams to gain internal buy-in.
• Independent Driver: A self-starter and independent thinker who thrives in dynamic environments and takes total ownership of outcomes.
• Master Storyteller: Comfortable presenting a bold vision of the future to C-level executives, moving beyond feature-selling to value-based solutioning.
• Global Collaborator: Skilled at influencing without authority and working across regions (NAMER, EMEA, APAC) to standardize best practices while respecting regional nuances.
• Continuous Learner: Passionate about emerging technologies, particularly AI/LLMs, and eager to leverage them to enhance organizational productivity.
• Cross-Functional Catalyst: Proven ability to align marketing, business, and product teams to deliver cohesive, high-value solutions.
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to delegate, oversee the work of others, and mentor junior team members.
• Commercial Acumen: Deep knowledge of software and SaaS buying behaviors and enterprise procurement cycles.
• Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of the work management category and how enterprise technology ecosystems (CRM, iPaaS, Cloud Hosting) intersect.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Team-Selling: Partner with Account Executives and Solutions Engineers to design innovative, integrated solutions that transform customer workflows and drive strategic business growth for Tier 1 accounts.
• Technical Validation & MVPs: Own the design and execution of technical proof-of-concepts (POCs) and minimum viable products (MVPs) that prove Asana’s value as a platform.
• Platform Evangelism & Enablement: Level up the broader Solutions organization by creating technical guides, reusable demo assets, and training programs on non-code and low-code technical engagements.
• Product Partnership: Serve as the "eyes in the field" for R&D, capturing insights from global enterprise engagements to influence the future roadmap of Asana’s API and AI capabilities.
• Architectural Leadership: Develop "before/after" architectural frameworks and workflow diagrams that illustrate how Asana integrates into diverse customer tech stacks.
• Scaled Impact: Identify repeatable technical patterns and turn them into global assets—such as custom script galleries or workflow templates—that enable self-service across the revenue organization.
• Roadmap Influence: Partner directly with Product Management and Engineering to identify gaps and proactively shape the long-term platform strategy and roadmap.
