Senior Solution Architect – Physical Security, Pre Sales - Pipelining for Future Needs

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Job Summary, What you will do, What we expect of you, Pay range, Benefits overview, About Us maybe? But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Job Summary (description of role). Could map to "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? The job summary is a paragraph describing role. Could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then

with that paragraph. - What you will do: list of duties. Could be "Responsibilities". Use

Responsibilities

then

• each bullet. - What we expect of you: qualifications/requirements. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Use

  Requirements

  then
  • each bullet. - Pay range: given: "Pay range: $ 102,920 - $ 144.072 depending on experience and skill set. Annual bonus target of 25% subject to terms and conditions of plan". That's specific. So we can have

    Pay

    then

    with that. - Benefits overview: they gave a link: "Benefits overview: https://cdw.benefit-info.com/Salary ranges may be subject to geographic differentials". That's a link. So we can have

    Benefits

    then

    with that link. - About Us: description of company. Could be "About the company"? Not in list but we could use "About the role"? Already used. Could use "About the company" but not in given examples. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to those. So we could add "About the company" as heading. But we need to consider if we should include About Us. It's substantive content. Could include as

    About the company

    with paragraph. But we must avoid duplication and boilerplate. The About Us includes EEO statement at end which is boilerplate; we should remove that. Also remove "CDW is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "We’re looking for people who bring curiosity..." maybe that's part of About Us but not boilerplate; it's about AI fluency. Might be considered substantive. We'll keep relevant parts. We also need to remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions besides maybe "Benefits overview: link". That's fine. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the content from Job Summary, What you will do, What we expect of you, Pay, Benefits, About Us (minus EEO). Also maybe include "What we expect of you" includes education/experience etc. We need to format lists properly. Let's extract the substantive paragraphs.

What you will do bullet points: - Design technical solutions using standard approaches (including site walks/assessment), considering the customer’s infrastructure limitations/opportunities and presenting solution recommendations to client. - Develop appropriate assessment and service solutions for CDW customers, including advisory/architecture, deployment, integration & optimizations, technology health checks, deployment services, advisory services, and support and maintenance services. - Collaborate with customers, delivery teams, and internal sales to offer consultative guidance, plan sales strategy, and author Proposals and Statements of Work (SOWs). - Analyze technical and competitive considerations, defining actions to meet customer requirements in the sales cycle and deliver enhanced business outcomes beyond initial expectations. - Maintain strategic relationships with customers, internal sales, and delivery leadership, acting as a trusted advisor to drive business growth. - Maintain relationships with key strategic partners and maintain at least 3 partner technical certifications. - Own assigned territory by establishing cadence with vendors, partners, and customers and supporting sales strategy planning. - Act as a subject matter expert across multiple product families and solutions. - Uses the CDW Physical Security team’s standard tools, templates, resources, and processes for maximum efficiency, productivity, consistency, and high-quality execution. - Drive sales outreach initiatives, technical enablement projects, and mentoring for other Solution Architects. - Conducts physical security technology/solutions training for CDW audiences (e.g., Sales, Other Solution Architects), using practice-developed material. - Develop content to effectively train coworkers and deliver knowledge sharing sessions.

Pay: "Pay range: $ 102,920 - $ 144.072 depending on experience and skill set. Annual bonus target of 25% subject to terms and conditions of plan" Benefits: "Benefits overview: https://cdw.benefit-info.com/Salary ranges may be subject to geographic differentials" About Us: We need to extract substantive content, removing EEO boilerplate at end. The About Us paragraph: "CDW is a Fortune 500 technology solutions provider that helps businesses, government, education, and healthcare organizations achieve what’s possible through technology. What makes CDW different isn’t just what we do—it’s how we do it. At CDW we act as one—building trust, speaking candidly, and working together to achieve more. We play to win—focusing on what matters most and delivering for our customers. And we think forward—staying curious, moving fast, and continuously learning. We believe meaningful work happens when people feel supported, heard, and empowered to contribute. That’s why we think of ourselves as coworkers, not just employees—working together to solve complex challenges and deliver real impact for our customers and communities. As a full‑stack, full‑lifecycle technology partner, CDW brings deep expertise, strong relationships, and broad industry knowledge to help turn ideas into outcomes. When you join CDW, you become part of a collaborative environment where your work matters, your growth is supported, and your contributions help shape what’s next. Together, we deliver the full promise of what technology can do. Together, we Make Amazing Happen." Then after that there is a paragraph about AI fluency: "We’re looking for people who bring curiosity, a learner’s mindset, and a willingness to engage with ever-evolving technology and tools. We value adopting AI as a partner, openness to experimentation, and a shared interest in learning together on AI. Our goal is to create a culture where AI enhances—not replaces—human creativity and decision-making. You don’t need to be an expert today; what matters is your readiness to explore, adapt, and grow with us as we integrate AI responsibly and effectively into our work." Then: "Additionally, CDW is committed to fostering an equitable, transparent, and respectful hiring process for all applicants. During our application process, our goal is to understand your experience, strengths, skills, and qualifications. As an AI forward company, we see AI not just as a tool, but as a catalyst for new ways of thinking, creating, and communicating. We encourage candidates to embrace an AI mindset, one that’s curious, adaptive, and ready to explore what’s possible. We welcome thoughtful use of AI to expand your perspective and elevate how you share your story, while ensuring your application remains rooted in your own background, judgment, and voice." Then final boilerplate: "CDW is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regards to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status or any other basis prohibited by state and local law." We should remove the EEO line at end. Also maybe remove the "Additionally, CDW is committed..." paragraph? That's about hiring process and AI mindset; could be considered substantive but maybe it's more about application process. The instruction says remove application instructions. That paragraph is about application process and encouraging AI use; could be considered application instructions. Safer to remove it. Also remove the "We’re looking for people who bring curiosity..." paragraph? That's about AI fluency; could be considered part of company culture, maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's about values. Might be okay to keep as part of About Us. But to be safe, we could keep the first About Us paragraph (the core description) and maybe the AI fluency paragraph as it's about culture. However the instruction says remove application instructions; the AI fluency paragraph is not exactly application instructions but more about desired mindset. Could keep. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide to include About Us section with the first paragraph (Fortune 500 ...) and maybe the AI fluency paragraph. We
