The Opportunity

The Airport Systems Solution Architect is a senior, customer-facing role responsible for shaping, owning, and governing end-to-end technical solutions across Veovo’s airport technology portfolio. The role has a strong focus on pre-sales activity, working closely with Sales, Product, and Delivery teams to ensure that proposed solutions align with customer business outcomes, Veovo’s product strategy, and delivery capability.

By acting as the technical authority during the sales cycle, this role ensures that solutions are commercially viable, technically robust, scalable, and aligned with Veovo’s long-term platform roadmap.

The role will work across a range of airport operational and revenue systems, including Resource Management Systems (RMS), Airport Operational Databases (AODB), Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS), and revenue management platforms. It will also support solution design involving integrations between these systems, wider airport or airline systems, and Veovo’s passenger flow, queue management, and analytics solutions.

Acting as the technical bridge between Product, Delivery, and customer teams, you will help ensure system architectures are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with the wider product roadmap. By strengthening the link between product and delivery, this role supports customer implementations that are consistent with Veovo’s strategic platform direction while addressing complex operational and integration requirements.

The Specifics

Act as Enterprise Solution Owner for new business and expansion opportunities across EMEA.

Lead technical discovery with airport customers, translating operational and commercial requirements into enterprise-level solution architectures.

Own the design for bids and proposals, including scope definition, system architecture, potential for partnering with other organisations, integrations, data flows, infrastructure, and non-functional requirements.

Provide technical thought leadership within bids, including authoring and reviewing solution descriptions and leading technical bid reviews and approvals.

Present and demonstrate solutions to senior airport stakeholders, including executives, operations, IT, and commercial teams.

Serve as design authority, ensuring proposed solutions align with Veovo platform standards, security principles, and product roadmap.

Act as a trusted technical advisor to customers throughout the pre-sales lifecycle.

Ensure continuity from pre-sales into delivery by collaborating with delivery teams during handover and early implementation phases.

Collaborate closely with Product, Cloud Management, and Technical consultants throughout the solution lifecycle.

Maintain and support high-quality technical requirements, system architectures, and integration specifications across internal modules and third-party components.

Identify and resolve system-level design issues early in the project lifecycle to reduce rework and post-deployment defects.

Provide technical oversight for system deployments and integrations, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and security best practices are followed.

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives around system design, documentation quality, and integration methods.

As a global organisation, we collaborate with customers and colleagues across multiple time zones, and the role may require travel.
