Role Summary

NewRocket is seeking a Principal Delivery Architect to lead solution architecture and delivery oversight for a telecommunications client engagement. This individual will serve as the senior technical authority on the engagement, responsible for translating business and operational requirements into a coherent technical roadmap, guiding delivery teams through implementation, and acting as a trusted technical advisor to client stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end solution architecture across the engagement, ensuring technical decisions align with the client's business objectives, technical landscape, and long-term roadmap.

  • Serve as the primary architectural point of contact for the client, building trusted relationships with client technical leadership and stakeholders.

  • Translate business requirements into scalable, maintainable architecture and delivery plans, balancing speed, cost, and quality.

  • Provide hands-on technical leadership and direction to delivery teams, including engineers, analysts, and project managers, ensuring consistent architectural standards across workstreams.

  • Identify and manage technical risks, dependencies, and integration points across telco-specific systems (e.g., OSS/BSS, network operations, customer experience platforms, order-to-activate workflows).

  • Lead design reviews, architectural governance, and quality assurance checkpoints throughout the delivery lifecycle.

  • Partner with project and program leadership to align architecture decisions with delivery timelines, scope, and budget.

  • Mentor and develop delivery team members, raising the technical capability of the broader team over the course of the engagement.

  • Produce and present clear, executive-ready documentation, architecture diagrams, and technical recommendations to client stakeholders.

  • Stay current on telecommunications industry trends, regulatory considerations, and platform capabilities relevant to the engagement.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in solution architecture, technical delivery, or systems integration, with significant exposure to the telecommunications industry.

  • Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering large-scale, multi-stream technology implementations in a consulting or systems integrator environment.

  • Strong working knowledge of telco operational domains, such as OSS/BSS, network service management, order management, or customer care platforms.

  • Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional delivery teams without direct line authority.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience engaging directly with client executives and technical leadership.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with the judgment to make sound architectural trade-offs under real-world constraints.

  • Experience working within structured delivery methodologies (Agile, hybrid, or traditional waterfall) on enterprise-scale programs.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience delivering solutions on platforms commonly used in telco environments (e.g., ServiceNow, Salesforce, or comparable enterprise platforms).

  • Relevant industry or platform certifications (e.g., TM Forum, architecture certifications, or platform-specific credentials).

  • Experience supporting telco mergers, divestitures, or large-scale platform migrations.

  • Familiarity with telco regulatory and compliance considerations.
