Essential Functions

About the Role - FedEx Dataworks is building the world's first Connected Intelligence Core - a platform that fuses FedEx's physical ground truth of global commerce (17M+ packages/day, $2T+ in goods annually) with partner commercial graphs and third-party signals to turn supply chain data into automated, intelligent action. Through this, we are unlocking proprietary, ground-truth commercial intelligence derived from the movement of global commerce.

We are looking for a Solution Architectto drive full-cycle data licensing sales of Commercial Data & Strategic Signals across institutional and enterprise data buyers. This is not a traditional pre-sales role.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical fluency with the ability to communicate architecture decisions to both engineers and C-suite executives - and thrives in an environment where the product is evolving rapidly. In this hybrid commercial and technical role, you will take full ownership of qualified opportunities once engaged with a qualified lead. You will lead technical discovery with Data Scientists, Quantitative Researchers, and Strategy Directors, validate signal utility, design cloud data delivery pipelines, structure data licensing agreements, and close enterprise subscription contracts.
