Solution Architect Specialist

Responsibilities

Sentinel is seeking a Solution Architect Specialist to support the creation, formatting, and administration of customer-facing quotes and proposals in Connect Wise CPQ. This role will work closely with Account Managers, Solution Architects, and sales support teams to convert sales direction, bills of materials, manufacturer/distributor quotes, and scope documents into accurate customer-ready proposals.

This is an administrative quote development role, not a technical presales role. The ideal candidate has direct experience using Connect Wise CPQ, strong attention to detail, and familiarity with technology reseller, manufacturer, or distributor quote processes.

The preferred location would be near our Tempe, AZ office; other office locations would include:
Downers Grove, IL;
Grand Rapids, MI;
Brighton MI;
Milwaukee, WI; or Greenwood Village, CO.
