Solution Designer – Business Portal (Telco B2B CRM & Quoting)

Role Overview

We are seeking a Solution Designer to define and shape end-to-end technical solutions for a B2B Business Portal within a telecommunications environment. The role focuses on CRM and quoting/CPQ-style journeys across mobile and fixed-line services, translating business requirements into delivery-ready solution designs.

This is a design and architecture role, not a hands-on development position. However, strong technical literacy is essential, including the ability to understand code-level concepts and collaborate closely with engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define end-to-end solution designs for portal-based B2B journeys (e.g. onboarding, quote-to-order, configuration, fulfilment touchpoints).
  • Lead structured requirements and design workshops (e.g. JAD or similar), aligning business, product, and technical stakeholders.
  • Translate functional and non-functional requirements into implementable architectures, including service boundaries, integration patterns, data flows, and orchestration logic.
  • Design solutions leveraging microservices, API-first approaches, cloud-native platforms, and event-driven patterns where appropriate.
  • Ensure designs address performance, scalability, resilience, security, and operational considerations.
  • Produce clear, high-quality design artefacts using industry standards (e.g. UML use cases, sequence diagrams, component diagrams, interface specifications).
  • Design solutions that use custom UI frameworks and modern front-end architectures, without performing UI or application development.
  • Collaborate with delivery and engineering teams to ensure solution designs are feasible, well understood, and aligned to delivery sequencing (e.g. environments, releases, branching strategies).
  • Apply a working understanding of agentic AI–enabled solutions, including where such capabilities fit in an enterprise architecture, and how they interact safely with systems, users, and controls.

Domain Experience

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience designing solutions for Telco CRM and quoting environments.
  • B2B experience highly preferred.
  • Experience across both mobile and fixed-line services is mandatory.

Solution Design & Architecture

  • Proven ability to independently define solutions from problem statement through to detailed design.
  • Hands-on experience producing UML and architecture design artefacts suitable for delivery teams.
  • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, API design, and integration patterns.
  • Strong grasp of cloud-native concepts (scalability, resilience, observability) and performance engineering principles.

Technical Literacy

  • Comfortable working with engineers and understanding code-level concepts (e.g. APIs, data contracts, branching and merging concepts), without being a developer role.
  • Experience working in modern SDLC and agile delivery environments.

Personal & Interpersonal Skills

  • Strong facilitation and communication skills; able to engage confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Structured thinker with the ability to handle ambiguity and drive decisions.
  • Clear, concise written communication, particularly for design documentation.

Beneficial (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with MERN stack or similar modern web technologies, from a solution design perspective.
  • Exposure to AI-enabled or agentic workflows, orchestration concepts, or intelligent automation.
  • Knowledge of complex B2B product configuration and pricing models.

Deliverables Typically Produced

  • End-to-end solution designs and option assessments
  • UML diagrams (use case, activity, sequence)
  • High- and low-level design documentation
  • Integration and API specifications
  • Workshop outputs, decisions, and design rationale
