What a strong Solutions Architect CV needs to prove

Show outcomes, not a task list

Connect your actions to a measurable result: time, quality, revenue, cost, safety, service or risk. Add scale so the reader can judge the significance.

Make your evidence easy to verify

Keep employers, titles and dates accurate. Use direct language and include only skills you can support with genuine experience.

ATS keywords for a Solutions Architect CV

Use relevant terms naturally where they describe your real work. Mirror the job advert's wording, but do not add a skill you cannot evidence.

Common Solutions Architect CV mistakes

  1. Producing architecture lists without the decision rationale.
  2. Omitting non-functional requirements and trade-offs.
  3. Failing to show influence across technical and business groups.
  4. Sending the same generic summary to every employer instead of reflecting the vacancy's genuine priorities.
