You will be responsible for defining the end to end solution including the industry and business approach, implementation methods, use of technology, business and IT processes and will influence the commercial and financial models.
You will need to have a broad base of skills and experience and will work in small teams in an autonomous manner.
You will have a confirmed pedigree of working on and leading large IT projects whether those are consulting, pre and post-sales transformational IT services or IT projects.
You will be knowledgeable across industry, business, IT strategy and technology domains and be comfortable presenting to GSI account leaders, discussing process with business managers or working with developers on solution strategy, architecture and code and with storage admins designing operating models – from boardroom to hackathon to storage ops.

Assume technical across a number of areas – importantly you understand data and storage technology but also data science, modern IT architecture modelling, Agile application development and DevOps methods, CICD, automation principles, infrastructure operations, project management and IT security.
We are seeking an applicant with gravitas and authenticity. They will be expected to have first class interpersonal skills combined with a comfortable, open and compelling communication and presentation style.
You can apply your experience and confidence to take ownership of Pure’s solution and create structure when needed to deal with ambiguity or no existing Pure offering with which to fulfil the GSI’s or end client’s requirements.
You will produce collateral for their clients in the form of presentations, short papers, demonstrations, proofs of concepts etc. These can be harvested back into Pure for reuse. They will also have the ability and will to design and build joint offerings with the GSI, combining Pure products and GSI area of expertise.
