Senior Solutions Architect

Airtable Airtable · Enterprise · London, United Kingdom · Customer Success & Services

This role is for a Senior Solutions Architect at Airtable, a no-code app platform. The primary focus is on partnering with clients to design and deliver transformative solutions using Airtable's platform. This involves advising on business processes, data governance, and implementation plans. While the role requires AI fluency and experience automating tasks with AI tools like GPT workflows, it is not a core AI/ML development role but rather a product-focused role that leverages AI tools to enhance client solutions.

What you'd actually do

  1. Deeply understand clients' business processes, requirements, and pain points; advise on best practices for integrating Airtable into their workflow.
  2. Advise customers on the creation and management of their data governance models from license administration through long-term solution maintenance.
  3. Develop solution architecture designs, implementation plans, and project timelines that align with clients' objectives and requirements.
  4. Developer mindset - provide technical guidance and support to clients and internal teams throughout the implementation process, addressing concerns or issues that arise.
  5. Respond to customer feedback; mitigate objections with sound counsel and relay any product improvements to the right Airtable cross-functional partners.
