About the role:

The Senior CX Solution Design Lead is a senior individual contributor responsible for leading the solution design and delivery of complex Digital Asset client engagements. Engagements can range from delivering expert design and implementation advice to hands-on software delivery.

The role combines deep expertise in product management, business analysis, enterprise software delivery, Daml, and the Canton Network with strong client leadership and cross-functional execution.

Operating as a player-architect , the Senior CX Solution Design Lead ensures complex client objectives are translated into practical solution designs, structured implementation plans, actionable requirements, guiding the solution end-to-end to ensure a successful final delivery. The role independently coordinates across clients, partners, Product, Engineering, Sales, and other internal teams to drive successful outcomes while ensuring solutions align with Digital Asset’s architectural and delivery standards.

The role also serves as a functional and solution-design authority within CX, raising the quality of client deliverables, mentoring less-experienced colleagues, and identifying opportunities to improve the way complex client engagements are delivered.

- Supports a seamless transition from pre-sales to post-sales by ensuring requirements, commitments, assumptions, and solution decisions are clearly documented

- Identifies recurring client needs and opportunities for reusable solutions, services, or product improvements

Influence Product Development

- Works closely with clients to understand and capture product feature requests, business needs, and implementation challenges

- Consolidates and synthesizes client feedback into clear, actionable inputs for Product and Engineering

- Provides context on business value, use cases, and client impact to help inform product decisions and roadmap discussions

- Identifies patterns across client engagements that may inform improvements to Digital Asset products, implementation methodologies, or CX offerings

Raise Quality & Develop Expertise

- Establishes and reinforces high standards for solution design, business analysis, requirements quality, documentation, and client delivery

- Mentors and provides functional guidance to less-experienced CX team members without formal people-management responsibility

- Shares knowledge, methodologies, and best practices across CX and contributes to the development of reusable tools, frameworks, and delivery approaches

- Proactively identifies gaps in processes, tooling, documentation, or delivery practices and drive improvements to completion
