CX Architect - SoftwareONE

As an CX architect on SoftwareOne’s Customer Experience team, you will work with our enterprise and public-sector customers to develop the vision for their improved contact center capabilities and see them through to fruition. Your success will be most notable when a customer’s adoption of customer engagement technologies on AWS evokes measurable or quantifiable value for the customer. 

The CX Architect is accountable for ensuring SoftwareOne’s business value throughout the entire customer relationship by aligning optimal solutions with the customer’s requirements. The most successful CX architects demonstrate their contact center experience and technical expertise to gain credibility with technical and business collaborators by demonstrating deep technical competence, articulating how technical solutions yield value to their business, and developing a roadmap for implementing and operating new solutions.  

During delivery, the CX architect consults with the project team to ensure the solution aligns with the vision, proactively control engagement risks, and provide architectural oversight of the resulting solution. 

To be successful, you must communicate effectively with all collaborators: business leaders, technical participants, and end-users alike. You must understand the business value and architectural standard methodologies of customer engagement solutions. Specific experience with AWS Customer Engagement services (Amazon Connect, Amazon Lex) is required (at least 3 years); experience on related contact center technologies (such as Cisco, Avaya, Genesys, inContact, Zoom, & Five9) is a plus.
