Help Organizations Turn Ideas Into Impact

We are looking for a Presales Solution Architect who enjoys technology, likes building things, and wants to help organizations use data, AI, analytics, and decisioning to solve real business challenges.

This is a customer-facing, demo-driven role for someone who enjoys exploring new technologies, building fast, and showing customers what is possible.

Prior SAS experience is not required. We are looking for someone with curiosity, hands-on ability, strong solution instincts, and the confidence to learn new platforms quickly.

Why This Role Matters

Organizations across industries are working to improve services, make better decisions, reduce risk, improve compliance, and use data more effectively.

In this role, you will help organizations explore practical ways to use data, AI, analytics, automation, and SAS solutions across areas such as citizen services, fraud detection, compliance, case management, public safety, healthcare, transport, finance, and policy analytics.

You will not just talk about technology. You will help bring ideas to life through demos, prototypes, workshops, and solution stories that customers can see and understand.

What You'll Do

Discover

Meet customers to understand their mission, priorities, challenges, and operating environment.
Identify where data, AI, analytics, automation, and decisioning can create practical business value.

Design

Turn customer needs into simple solution concepts, demo stories, architecture diagrams, proposal content, and RFP responses.
Work with sales, product, delivery, partner, and SAS specialists to shape credible and useful solutions.

Build

Build and customise demos, prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and solution walkthroughs.
Explore new tools, APIs, datasets, cloud services, AI capabilities, and integration patterns.
Move quickly from idea to prototype, making things work fast enough to support customer conversations and workshops.

Showcase

Present solutions clearly to business, technical, leadership, and procurement audiences.
Show how the solution works, what problem it solves, and why it matters.
Help customers understand the value of better decisions, improved services, risk reduction, compliance, transparency, and operational efficiency.

You'll Enjoy This Role If

You like turning ideas into working demos.
You enjoy testing new tools, APIs, AI capabilities, datasets, and platforms.
You like being in front of customers and showing them what is possible.
You are the kind of person who sees a problem and starts thinking, I can probably build something to show this.
You enjoy the mix of technology, storytelling, business impact, and problem-solving.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is curious, hands-on, practical, and customer-focused.
You should enjoy learning new technologies, building quick working examples, making things work, and explaining technical ideas in simple language.
You do not need to be a SAS expert. We will support you with SAS product knowledge. What matters more is your ability to learn fast, think clearly, build creatively, and showcase solutions in a way that customers understand.

Helpful Experience

Experience in any of these areas would be helpful:

Presales, solution consulting, solution architecture, technical consulting, systems integration, or industry technology consulting
Data, analytics, AI, BI, cloud, automation, case management, workflow, or enterprise software
Building demos, prototypes, dashboards, workflows, proof-of-concepts, or solution showcases
Tools such as Python, SQL, APIs, notebooks, BI tools, cloud platforms, low-code tools, workflow tools, or AI tools
Customer meetings, workshops, proposals, RFPs, tenders, or solution presentations
SAS experience is useful but not required.

What Success Looks Like

You help customers see what is possible.
You can turn a customer challenge into a clear, practical solution idea.
You can quickly build or customise a demo that makes the idea real.
You can explain technology clearly to both business and technical audiences.
You make sales conversations more credible, practical, and exciting.
You help move opportunities from interest to action.
