Role Overview

The Enterprise Solutions Architect is an individual contributor who owns the technical sales lifecycle for AppViewX's strategic enterprise accounts and prospects across the assigned region. This role is designed for a seasoned SE practitioner who brings deep Identity/PKI/CLM/PQC domain expertise, proven enterprise POC execution, and the ability to engage security leadership stakeholders with confidence.

The SA will lead complex, multi-product opportunities at F500 and Global 2000 accounts — delivering architecture-level guidance on CLM automation, PKI modernization, and post-quantum cryptographic readiness (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, FIPS 204).

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Pre-Sales Ownership

• Own the full technical sales lifecycle for enterprise accounts: technical discovery, solution design, architecture workshops, POC/POV execution, competitive displacement, and technical closure.
• Lead the assigned region enterprise opportunities independently - including multi-product deployments spanning CLM, PKI, Code Signing, Kubernetes TLS, AIS and QTH.
• Develop account-level technical strategy, identifying expansion, upsell, and cross-sell opportunities within the installed base.
• Partner with Enterprise AEs and Regional Sales leadership to shape deal strategy and competitive positioning.

Customer & Executive Engagement

• Engage VP Infrastructure, VP Security, and CISO-level stakeholders with architecture-level conversations on machine identity, Zero Trust, and cryptographic modernization.

• Represent AppViewX at industry events, trade shows, and partner forums across the assigned region.

POC / POV Delivery

• Architect and personally execute high-impact enterprise POCs/POVs — including technical prerequisites, integration scoping, success criteria definition, and executive readout.
• Maintain hands-on proficiency across AVX CLM, PKI, SSH, Kubernetes, Code Signing, AIS and QTH product lines.
• Develop and contribute to reusable POC playbooks, integration reference architectures, and technical runbooks.

Customer and Partner Advisory

• Serve as a credible field advisor on post-quantum cryptographic readiness for enterprise accounts.
• Articulate the NIST PQC standardization outcomes and their enterprise implications:
• Educate prospects on the Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later (HNDL) threat and help shape customer PQC migration timelines and certificate inventory assessments.
• Serve as a credible field advisor on agentic identity governess for enterprise accounts.

Team Contribution & Enablement

• Contribute to the SE team's competitive battlecards, RFP libraries, and shared knowledge base.
• Support partner enablement sessions with GSIs, VARs, and technology alliance partners across the assigned region.
