Who You AreYou are a seasoned technology executive with 12+ years of experience in solution architecture, technical consulting, systems integration, VAR, MSP, cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure, or related environments, including significant leadership experience overseeing geographically distributed pre-sales or technical organizations. This leader combines broad technical fluency across enterprise infrastructure, networking, security, cloud, data center, professional services, managed services, and emerging technologies with the strategic judgment needed to translate complex capabilities into compelling business outcomes.
About The RoleThe Vice President of Client Solution Architects (CSA) is responsible for the strategy, leadership, and national execution of Myriad360's Client Solution Architect organization.
This role leads the CSA Directors and the broader team of Client Solution Architects and Security Client Solution Architects across the country, ensuring the organization operates as a consistent, scalable technical pursuit function aligned with Myriad360's growth strategy.
The VP of CSAs is accountable for ensuring CSAs serve as strategic technical counterparts to the Sales organization-engaging early in client opportunities, leading cross-practice discovery, identifying broader business and technology needs, orchestrating the appropriate specialists and practices, and helping shape solutions that deliver meaningful client outcomes.
This leader will build the systems, standards, talent, enablement, and governance necessary to scale the CSA model nationally while maintaining strong alignment across Sales, Pre-Sales, Professional Services, Managed Services, Field Services, Practices, Delivery, and strategic technology partners.
The VP of Client Solution Architects is ultimately responsible for making Myriad360's breadth of technical and services capability usable in the field-translating that breadth into better client conversations, larger opportunities, stronger solution quality, and improved client outcomes.

- Ensure the appropriate Specialists, Practice resources, Services teams, and strategic partners are engaged at the right point in the opportunity lifecycle.
- Prevent technical pursuits from becoming isolated within individual practices or technology domains.

- Improve the quality of opportunity handoffs from Pre-Sales into Professional Services, Managed Services, and Delivery.
Services & Lifecycle Alignment - Ensure CSAs think beyond product architecture and consider the complete client lifecycle:
- Discover 12 Advise 12 Design 12 Deploy 12 Adopt 12 Operate 12 Optimize
- Drive earlier identification and attachment of Professional Services, Managed Services, Field Services, advisory, and lifecycle opportunities.
- Partner with Services leadership to ensure service requirements are identified during discovery rather than added after the technical solution has already been designed.
- Help position Myriad360 as an accountable technology partner capable of supporting clients across the entire lifecycle.
Technical Strategy & Emerging Technologies - Ensure the CSA organization stays ahead of major technology transitions affecting Myriad360 clients.
- Partner with Practice and technology leadership to determine which capabilities CSAs need to understand versus where specialist expertise should be engaged.

- Translate emerging technology trends into practical client conversations and repeatable opportunity plays.
Enablement & Talent Development - Own the national CSA enablement strategy and certification program.
- Establish clear technical, business, discovery, communication, and leadership expectations for CSA progression.
- Partner with Practice leaders, OEMs, and internal experts to maintain a structured enablement cadence.
- Develop CSA Directors into strong people leaders capable of coaching rather than simply managing activity.
- Build career paths and succession plans across CSA, Security CSA, leadership, specialist, and broader technical roles.

- Build trust across teams and address friction through clear expectations, transparent communication, and shared problem solving.
- Model the behavior expected of the organization by seeking to understand before assigning blame and by resolving issues directly rather than through side conversations.
- Complete ongoing security awareness training and comply with company policies to the requirements section.
- Identify and escalate security risks to the appropriate Executive Leadership Team member and actively contribute to remediation efforts.
