Presales Telecom Solution Architect

The Pre-sales Solution Architect (EU/US) is the commercial and technical bridge between Prodapt''s AI-native product
portfolio and its telecom enterprise customers across the EU and US markets. Part hardcore pre-sales engineer, part
domain authority, this role turns customer pain into winning solution narratives - grounded in deep telecom functional knowledge (BSS/OSS capabilities, TM Forum processes), technical precision (information models, APIs, network technologies), and a sharp grasp of the business value being unlocked. They are the voice of feasibility in the sales cycle and the voice of the customer back into the product team
