• Your day at NTT DATA
• As a Senior Solutions Architect at NTT DATA, you will help define and deliver high‑impact technology architectures for our strategic clients in Qatar.
• This role places you at the center of customer discussions, working closely with senior IT stakeholders to shape solution direction across cloud, data center, security, and enterprise platforms.
• Your ability to translate business needs into integrated, scalable architectures will play a key part in driving client transformation initiatives.
• A major focus of the role involves leading architecture design efforts across multi‑domain, hybrid, and multi‑vendor environments.
• Rather than working in isolation, you will collaborate with sales, delivery teams, and global SMEs to craft solutions that balance strategy, cost, performance, and long‑term sustainability.
• Whether facilitating workshops, guiding future‑state architecture definitions, or evaluating technology options, your influence will be felt across the engagement lifecycle.
• Presales leadership is another essential aspect of the position.
• From responding to RFPs and RFIs to presenting architecture concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences, your work will help shape the value propositions we bring to market.
