The HubSpot Solutions Architect is the senior client-facing and commercially focused member of an Australian B2B marketing agency.
The role is responsible for understanding how a client's business operates, identifying the commercial and operational gaps in its current systems, and designing a practical HubSpot solution that can be sold, implemented and adopted successfully.
This is not primarily a HubSpot configuration role.
The successful candidate must be able to understand a B2B company's revenue model, sales process, marketing activity, customer lifecycle and account-management structure, and then translate those requirements into:
- a commercially sound scope of work;
- a detailed implementation blueprint;
- aligned HubSpot product and integration recommendations; and
- a clean handover to the implementation team.
