Pre-Sales Solutions Architect | £75,000 | Remote (UK Travel)

Are you a technically strong Pre-Sales Solutions Architect looking to work on nationally significant programmes within a security-led MSP?

We are working with a trusted MSP to recruit a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect on a permanent basis. The role is remote with regular UK travel for customer meetings.

The position requires SC and NPPV3 security clearance – candidates without current clearance must be eligible and willing to undergo vetting.

The Role

Sitting at the bridge between Sales and Engineering, you will work with customers, the sales team, and technical teams to design and position secure, compliant solutions for clients operating in regulated sectors. You’ll lead technical discovery, produce proposals and SoWs, and ensure a smooth handover into delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with Sales to qualify opportunities and understand customer requirements
  • Design end-to-end solutions across cloud, private cloud, networking, and infrastructure
  • Lead technical workshops, presentations, and solution demonstrations
  • Produce Statements of Work, proposals, and technical documentation
  • Ensure solutions meet relevant regulatory and compliance standards
  • Input into service design, pricing, and risk assessment

Skills and Experience

  • Proven background in a Pre-Sales, Solutions Architect or client-facing technical role
  • Experience with private cloud infrastructure (Nutanix, VMware, Proxmox, OpenStack)
  • Knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Solid networking expertise – LAN/WAN, firewalls, VPNs, load balancing
  • Understanding of security and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST)
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with commercial awareness
  • Cloud/architecture certifications are a bonus

Salary: £75,000 depending on experience

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
