Are you an experienced Solution Architect with a strong background in Enterprise Managed Services? Our client is seeking an intermediate-level contractor who can shape, negotiate, and deliver well-architected managed service solutions across a broad enterprise customer base.

This role requires someone who understands the realities of Managed Services operations – from commercial risk and SLAs through to the design of robust, on-prem infrastructure solutions. You’ll work closely with senior architects, sales, commercial teams, and customers to scope, structure, and position compelling “as-a-service” offerings.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing well-architected Managed Services solutions across infrastructure, cloud, and security.
• Supporting the creation of contracts, SOWs, pricing models, and commercial constructs, ensuring risks are well managed (legal, commercial, finance, SLAs).
• Collaborating with account teams and internal/external stakeholders to deliver scalable, market-competitive service models.
• Leading and contributing to RFQ/RFP/RFI responses.
• Presenting and communicating the value of Managed Services offerings to customers across the ANZ region.
• Leveraging expertise across wider architecture and delivery teams – deep specialisation in storage or GreenLake-type platforms is not required (support available).

What we’re looking for

✔ You must have current Enterprise Managed Services experience.

✔ Strong experience with contract negotiation, pricing models, and understanding of commercial and business risk.

✔ Solid hardware infrastructure knowledge, particularly on-prem environments (cloud experience welcome but secondary).

✔ Background across operational, delivery, or architectural domains within Managed Services.

✔ Ability to communicate with senior stakeholders and translate customer requirements into scalable service offerings.

✔ High-level understanding of core IT domains (compute, storage, backup, virtualisation, cloud, security).

Why this role?

• Long-term 12-month contract with strong likelihood of extension.
• Hybrid working, with time spent both from home and in the Auckland CBD office.
• Ideal for an intermediate-level Solution Architect looking to step into a broader commercial and architectural role.
• Join a major enterprise environment via Talent and contribute to high-value Managed Services engagements.
• Supportive, collaborative team with access to senior technical experts.

How to Apply

If you’re an experienced Enterprise Managed Services professional with strong commercial acumen and a passion for architecting scalable service solutions, we’d love to hear from you.

• Deep understanding of architectural frameworks, ideally TOGAF, with the ability to tailor principles to a practical delivery environment.

• Hands-on approach with the ability to manage the full solution lifecycle – from initial concept to final implementation.

• Experience collaborating with vendors, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless delivery.

• Background in education or large-scale public sector environments is advantageous but not essential.
