Solutions Architect – HubSpot Implementations & Integrations
1406 Consulting | Remote

About 1406 Consulting

1406 Consulting is an Elite HubSpot Partner specializing in CRM implementation, integrations, and revenue operations. We help growing organizations turn strategy into durable, scalable systems — not just working configurations.

We operate with clear decision rights, non-negotiable quality standards, and a delivery model designed to eliminate chaos, heroics, and hidden risk.

Role Summary

The Solutions Architect is a senior, client-facing technical role responsible for owning the architectural integrity of HubSpot implementations and integrations delivered by 1406.

This role exists to ensure that approved strategy is translated into safe, scalable, and supportable systems — not just technically functional builds. You will define solution architecture, enforce standards, surface and resolve risk early, and protect long-term system health under real-world delivery pressure.

This is not a support or advisory role. You are expected to make decisions, hold the line on quality, and block unsafe work when necessary.

What You’ll Be Accountable For:

Architecture & System Integrity

• Own end-to-end solution architecture for complex HubSpot implementations
• Define and enforce data model, workflow, and automation architecture
• Design integration approaches with a native-first, risk-aware mindset
• Identify architectural risk early and force clear decisions before build
• Ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and supportable long-term

Quality & Governance

• Enforce readiness standards before work begins
• Enforce Definition of Done before work exits implementation
• Block or pause work when system integrity, data quality, or security is at risk
• Document assumptions, tradeoffs, edge cases, and known constraints
• Prevent architectural debt rather than fixing it later

Delivery Leadership (Without People Management)

• Serve as the architectural authority across Implementation and Development
• Guide consultants and specialists on standards and safe design patterns
• Resolve architectural disagreements and ambiguity decisively
• Reduce rework caused by unclear or unsafe designs

Commercial Accountability

• Maintain a 25% billable utilization target by tracking and recording time against client implementation and pre-sales projects
• Contribute directly to client engagements where architectural authority adds value
• Treat billable contribution as a core operating expectation, not a secondary concern

Emerging Technology

• Maintain working familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs) and their application to MarTech and RevOps data automation
• Evaluate emerging HubSpot AI capabilities and advise on responsible adoption
• Ensure 1406's architecture recommendations remain current, competitive, and credible as the technology landscape evolves

Client & Pre-Sales Support (As Needed)

• Participate in discovery and technical scoping for complex engagements
• Translate business goals into clear architectural direction
• Contribute to Statements of Work through feasibility and risk assessment
• Ensure scoped solutions align with delivery reality and platform constraints

How We Work

1406 operates with a governed delivery model designed to protect quality and reduce chaos. In this role, you are expected to:

• Enforce explicit decision ownership and SLAs
• Escalate ambiguity instead of absorbing it
• Choose the lowest-risk path when decisions stall
• Prioritize system durability over short-term speed
• Use structure, documentation, and standards to keep delivery calm and predictable

Speed without clarity is considered debt. “Technically works” is not considered done.

What This Role Is Not

To be clear, this role does not own:

• Commercial decisions, pricing, or scope negotiation
• Delivery sequencing or capacity planning
• Revenue targets or expansion closure
• Informal workaround-based execution
• Absorbing urgency, ambiguity, or scope creep

Your job is to protect the system — not to make problems disappear quietly.

What Success Looks Like

You’re successful in this role when:

• Architectural issues are prevented, not discovered post-handoff
• Delivery teams experience fewer last-minute surprises
• Systems ship clean, understandable, and supportable
• Client Success can confidently operate what was built
• Quality is maintained even under pressure
• Delivery feels calmer as complexity increases
• You consistently meet the 25% billable utilization target
• Clients and internal teams trust your recommendations on both established and emerging technology

If things feel boring in the best way possible — it’s working.

Reporting & Authority

• Reports to: Director of Technical Services
• Architectural authority across: Implementation, Development, QA
• Escalation path: Solutions Architect → Director of Technical Services → CEO (exception-based only)

This is a senior individual contributor role with real authority and accountability.

Experience & Skills

We care more about judgment and system thinking than titles.

Required

• Strong experience implementing HubSpot across Marketing, Sales, and Service Hubs
• Proven ability to design workflows, automation, and data models at scale
• Experience integrating HubSpot with third-party systems
• Experience with middleware tools (Skyvia, Zapier, Workato, custom APIs)
• Ability to translate business goals into technical architecture
• Comfort making decisions and holding boundaries under pressure

Nice to Have

• HubSpot certifications (Admin, Solutions Architecture, etc.)
• Consulting or agency experience in complex client environments

Who This Role Is For

This role is for someone who:

• Thinks in systems, not tasks
• Values clarity over speed
• Is comfortable saying “no” when quality is at risk
• Wants authority with accountability
• Is energized by standards, structure, and ownership

If you prefer flexibility around quality gates or informal decision-making, this role will feel restrictive. If you care deeply about durable systems and clean execution, it will feel like home.

Why Join Us:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive healthcare and benefits package, including company-paid medical insurance and 401k matching.
• Ongoing professional development, including HubSpot certifications and leadership coaching.
• A collaborative, growth-oriented culture where your contributions directly shape client success and company growth.

The target base salary range for this position is $90,000 to $120,000 annually (based on relevant experience and qualifications) +plus performance based bonuses.
