Why You’ll Love Softchoice

At Softchoice, a World Wide Technology (WWT) company, we work together to make a new world happen. As an IT solutions provider serving U.S. commercial and SMB organizations, as well as the entire Canadian market, we help organizations turn ambition into real‑world outcomes. We do this through the delivery of secure cloud, AI, software and digital workplace solutions that enable agility, innovation and growth.

With a highly engaged, high‑performing team, we are certified as a Great Place to Work® in both Canada and the United States, and have been recognized as a Best Workplace in Canada for more than 20 years.

As part of WWT, we connect customers to the global scale, advanced innovation, world‑class partnerships, and deep expertise of a leader in AI and digital transformation. This includes access to WWT’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC), a collaborative ecosystem featuring state‑of‑the‑art hardware and software that enables customers and partners to conceptualize, test, and validate innovative solutions before deploying them at scale.

Softchoice is reimagining the role we play in our customers’ lives, and we are seeking exceptional people to lead that charge within our Cloud practice.

As the Solution Lead, you are the senior‑most technical and delivery authority for multi‑cloud engagements spanning Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. You are the person who walks into a C‑level conversation, translates complex business challenges into cloud transformation strategies, and then leads a team of architects and consultants to deliver them. You bridge pre‑sales and delivery seamlessly — your clients trust you to define what good looks like, and your team trusts you to back them up when things get hard.

This is not a role for someone who knows one cloud platform well. It requires genuine fluency across all three major providers — the ability to guide customers to the right platform decisions based on their workloads, governance requirements, and long‑term strategy. In addition to technical depth is business acumen to drive the financial success of a P&L, the maturity to lead senior practitioners, and the presence to represent Softchoice at the highest levels of a client organization.

• Guide customers through provider‑selection decisions with objectivity — recommending the right cloud platform (or combination of platforms) based on workload fit, cost, compliance, and long‑term strategy
• Review and approve architecture documents, deployment plans, technical assessments, and statements of work to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with Softchoice standards
• Stay at the leading edge of cloud innovation — translate emerging trends (AI/ML services, cloud‑native development, platform engineering) into practical service offerings

• Act as a trusted advisor to C‑level and VP‑level client stakeholders — conduct discovery, define business outcomes, and craft tailored transformation roadmaps that create measurable value
