Solution Design Architect

Solution Design Architect (AI / Transformation / Creative Operations)

We're hiring a Solution Design Architect to help us win and shape new business. You'll sit in the room with senior client stakeholders, including CMOs, and turn their challenges into operating models, workflows and commercial models (team shapes, asset rates, outcome-based structures) that we can deliver. You'll bring the commercial judgement to validate the numbers, the process thinking to design better ways of working, and the technical and channel knowledge to lead the conversation when specialists aren't there. Quick on your feet and calm under pressure, you'll be supported by our Commercial and Implementation teams.

• Contribute directly to new business wins and improve pitch win rates.
• Commercial models that are profitable, credible to clients and deliverable in practice.
• Smooth transitions from pitch to implementation with no gap between what was sold and what is delivered.
• Trusted by clients, commercial and technology teams as the go-to person for solution design.

• Lead the operational and solution design element of new client pitches, presenting with credibility and confidence to senior client stakeholders, including CMOs and marketing leadership.
• Formulate solutions in real time during pitches, workshops and challenging client discussions, staying composed and commercially sharp.
• Own the conversation on technology and data when technical specialists aren't present, and know when and how to bring them in.
• Ensure a smooth handover from pitch to implementation, so what we sell is what we deliver.
• Work with stakeholders to gather, document and analyse business requirements for new client accounts.
• Ask the right questions to define accurate scope, cost and risk.
• Translate client business needs into workflows for client and technology teams.
• Define and articulate operating model principles (roles, governance, ways of working, handoffs) that align to client goals and our delivery capability.
• Evaluate existing client and internal processes, identify new ways of working, and recommend improvements for efficiency, cost reduction and better outcomes.
• Design solutions across advertising and marketing channels, drawing on a strong understanding of how media, data, creative and technology fit together.
• Collaborate with technology and business teams to ensure solutions align with our strategy and are technically feasible.
• Build, test and validate commercial models that deliver the designed workflow, including team shapes, asset-based rate models and outcome-based models.
• Work with Commercial and Finance to pressure-test assumptions, margins and risk before models go to clients.
• Balance client value with commercial viability, and explain the reasoning clearly to both internal and client audiences.
• Act as the bridge between clients, commercial, technology and delivery teams, ensuring shared understanding and alignment.
• Translate complex technical and commercial concepts into clear, compelling narratives for non-technical, senior audiences.
• Analyse data to support decision-making, and define measurement frameworks for new clients.
• Create reports and presentations that convey findings and recommendations with clarity and impact.
