What Youll Be Doing:

Principal Product Solutions Architect, Specialty Product Management

Role Overview

The Principal Product Solutions Architect is a Director-level individual contributor responsible for bringing senior product judgment into customer solutioning before commitments are made. This role ensures Evolents specialty solutions are product-coherent, commercially sound, and operationally sustainable from early customer engagement through delivery transition.

This role exists to solve a critical business problem: preventing non-standard customer commitments, custom solutioning, and under-scoped deal structures from creating downstream burden on Product, Engineering, Operations, and Delivery.

Operating at the intersection of Product, Strategic Accounts, Sales, and Delivery, this leader ensures solution decisions are anchored in product strategy, platform intent, workflow standards, and economic reality , not just short-term deal momentum.

While this role will be customer-facing and deeply engaged in commercial discussions, it is not a sales engineering role and not a custom solution design role . It is a product-led governance role with explicit accountability to:

+ protect product and platform integrity

+ distinguish standard capability from true customization

+ make tradeoffs visible before commitments are made

+ surface delivery, pricing, and roadmap implications early

+ reduce downstream rework, escalation, and avoidable complexity

The Principal Product Solutions Architect is accountable for improving the quality of solution decisions upstream, especially in complex, high-stakes, or strategically ambiguous opportunities.
