Principal Partner Transformation Architect

Overview

Pega’s Advanced Platform team is part of the Specialist Solutions Consulting organization. We act as trusted advisors and technical strategists, driving discovery and solution design for emerging technologies while mentoring field teams and enabling best practices for successful adoption. Through continuous feedback with Product Management and Engineering, we influence product direction to align innovations with client needs and market differentiation. By collaborating closely with Go‑To‑Market (GTM) teams, we execute strategic programs that accelerate adoption, deliver compelling demos and proof‑of‑concept engagements, and empower sales and consulting teams to win with high‑impact, value‑driven solutions.

Working together, you’ll drive partner practice innovation, customer expansion, and ACV growth—translating vision into action by designing and delivering partner‑powered solutions that inspire and operationalize AI in pragmatic, scalable ways.
