Solutions Consultant
About Technology Architects
Technology Architects is an independently owned IT and cybersecurity firm built by entrepreneurs to support the business community. With offices in Green Bay, Minneapolis, and Denver, we partner with growing organizations across the U.S. to reduce complexity, manage risk, and use technology as a strategic advantage.
Role Summary
The Solutions Consultant is the primary onsite consulting presence and client-facing technical liaison for assigned Technology Architects customers. This role serves as the connective tissue between the client and Technology Architects' internal teams, ensuring client environments are deeply understood, properly aligned, and fully supportable within our Managed Intelligence model.
Solutions Consultants act as the technology director for their assigned client stack. They run recurring onsite technology oversight engagements, identify pain points from end users through executive leadership, and translate those insights into actionable initiatives across strategic planning, Managed Intelligence, Cyber Security, sales, and project delivery.
This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for a technical professional who excels at communication, discovery, and strategic alignment. Technical depth is required, but so is the ability to drive a client forward without being asked.

- Represent TA with authority, clarity, and accountability
