Job description

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.

    Apply now or reach out to Dean Liszewski at Talent for a confidential chat.
