Aker Systems was founded in 2017 by a team of experienced technology professionals who recognised an opportunity to provide highly secure enterprise data platforms to large organisations. We build and operate ground-breaking, ultra-secure, high performance, cloud-based data infrastructure for the enterprise. Our proprietary technology solutions drive performance and reduce costs while helping our clients to improve the management and sharing of data across their organisations. In 2024, Aker Systems won the Breakthrough Culture Awards highlighting growth companies putting culture first. In 2020 Aker Systems was recognised as a 'One to Watch' on the Sunday Times Tech Track. The Company was also recognised at the Thames Valley Tech Awards 2020; winning the Thames Valley Tech Company of the year, the Emerging Tech Company and High Growth Tech Business categories. We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, and supportive place for you to do your very best work. A UK Government Security Check (SC) clearance is required for this role. If you don't hold SC clearance, we will support you to apply assuming you have lived and worked in the UK for a minimum of 5 years. As the Lead Pre-Sales Architect within Aker Systems, your primary responsibility will be to develop customer solutions that consistently outperform those produced by our competitors by innovatively and cost-effectively meeting the requirements of our customers. You will be responsible for leading the Pre-Sales technical activities in our pursuit of new business and growth. You must be prepared to travel to London 2-3 times a month, occasionally including an overnight stay. Duties & Responsibilities Winning Proposals. You will be responsible for creating compelling technical responses to customer requirements, enabling Aker System to pursue new business via the DOS4, DOS5, GCloud, Technology Services and other commercial frameworks - either directly; or indirectly via a suitable partner or prime contractor. You will be experienced in creating high-scoring responses to customer's technical requirements. You are to proactively seek customer feedback, acting upon that feedback so that we may continually improve the strength and quality of our technical responses. Client Engagement. You will act as an ambassador for the business supporting sales personnel in client engagements. You will have excellent client-facing skills with the ability to influence and define enterprise solutions, data architecture transformations and their associated benefits - both financial and non-financial. Critically, you will do more than advocate technology for technology's sake, but instead readily articulate the business benefits and return on investment inherent in Aker System's customer-facing solutions and relate these to the customer's specific circumstances. Solution Leadership. You will be responsible for the design, planning and pricing of market-beating solutions that consistently outperform those of our competitors. As the senior technical professional assigned to strategic bids, you will provide leadership of the solution development activities and our responses to technical requirements throughout the sales process, ensuring the overall technical response and customer solution is of winning caliber and achievable in delivery. You shall take accountability and responsibility for your solution. You must clearly articulate design decisions both informally in whilst developing the solution in the 'Campaign' phase of the sales process 1 , and formally within the Company governance process. You must be able to balance economic, commercial and technological factors to create market-beating solutions. Competitive Insight. Through a combination of industry experience, proactive networking (internal and external), and technology horizon scanning you will maintain a balanced view of market capability. You are to apply this insight in the creation of customer-facing solutions by identifying the competitive nature of the individual solution estimates that inform the customers' total cost of ownership for Aker-supplied solutions. Estimates that fail to pass either: the commonsense test; or which are at odds with prevailing industry practices - are to be challenged and corrected to ensure that Aker Systems is able to win new business and grow by remaining competitive. Thought Leadership. Through proactive participation in strategic industry groups - and other 'idea generating or thought leadership' forums (such as public sector Chief Data Officer or CIO forums) - you are to enhance Aker's profile in the market by providing thought leadership and technical white papers both to customers and internal stakeholders. Requirements & Needs Analysis. Through ongoing and regular contact with our customer-base - coupled with an acute understanding of competitors' activities - you and your team will provide Aker's CTO with a barometer of current client needs and, thereby, work collaboratively with the CTO to evolve Aker's products and capabilities so they are able to meet and stimulate customer demand for our services. Risk analysis. You will be responsible for identifying solution risks and propose effective and proportionate mitigations. Where possible, you are to develop innovative approaches that cost effectively mitigate the identified risks, providing the customer with a low-risk approach to contracting with Aker Systems - or staying with us in the event of any re-compete. Technical Awareness. You will maintain up-to-date knowledge of emerging trends and developments over a broad range of technologies as well as monitoring the outcomes of research work, seeking to identify where technology might be deployed in order to deliver business improvements and competitive advantage. Partnering for Solution Coherence. On occasion, it will be necessary to partner with external organisations and strategic partners. You are responsible for representing the business, developing and maintaining relationships with these organisations. As part of this activity, you will identify suitable strategic alliances to help develop our business strategy and capability in line with business requirements and budgeted growth commitments. Core Competencies Technical Competencies. You are to have the following technical competencies and expertise: Delivery. Designing, delivering platforms and managed services at enterprise scale, specifically bespoke software solutions, particularly in streaming and cloud-native solutions. Data. Solving enterprise data and analytics problems using technology. Cloud. Hands-on Public Cloud experience in either AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform, both their 'services' and 'how' to work in the cloud such as DevOps-centric approach. Security. Having worked in sensitive data environments and ideally have experience facing off to cyber security specialists. You will either hold SC clearance or be committed to achieving this. Sector. Initial target sectors and key areas of focus for sales growth are public sector and financial services. Experience Required. In order of priority, qualitative criteria are concerned with credibility, ability, experience and personality: Aker Delivery Teams. Working closely with engineers, Analysts, Architects and other members of the Aker Technical Team. Client CTO/Architects. Eventually become a go-to person for the sales teams and the client to reach out to regarding the technical direction of any client sales engagement. When necessary, liaise with other members of the Aker Technical Team regarding product developments, enhancements and feasibility of what has been proposed for a specific customer solution. Aker Sales Teams. Ability to understand the Aker USPs, technology stack, hyper scalers environments and native applications/services and think on their feet in pre-sales conversations during exploratory, due diligence or customer sales engagements. Design Winning Solutions. You are responsible for leading solution teams capable of outperforming our competitors in order to win strategic new business opportunities aimed at delivering profitable revenue growth. The measure of success shall be bids won total bids pursued with a target of maintaining or improving on 1 bid won for every 3 bids pursued. Solution Design Documentation. You are responsible for the creation, ownership and delivery of all solution design documentation - critically, this includes responses to the technical questions in the bid, which are scored during competitive evaluation. These documents include both external and internal-facing (predominantly client-facing) and shall meet the requirements of each set of stakeholders. The measure of success shall be the technical evaluation scores for each bid on which you participate, whereby you are to achieve a technical score in excess of 90% for solution quality and the quality of the written technical bid responses.

There is no shortage of enterprise learning management systems on the market. In fact, you could argue that there are a few too many - complicating the process of actually choosing and adopting an LMS. To help smooth out the selection process, CMSWire has taken advice from industry practitioners and experts to figure out what businesses should keep in mind when choosing an LMS. 1. Define Objectives First things first, you'll want to outline the goals you want to achieve through your future learning management system. Whether that's to improve staff knowledge about your product lines, educate partners or inform the public, you need to know what your objective is in order to plan for it effectively. according to Tony Coppa, VP of Product Strategy at London-based AvePoint . " Before selecting an LMS, brands need to define clear objectives. For example, what are your required features, functions and specific configurations? This will avoid vague requirements and poorly defined success metrics, while also ensuring a properly configured LMS," Coppa said. "Understand your organization's needs and nuances; your users' needs and experiences; work functions and roles; and required competencies and training needs," he continued. 2. Hunt For ML-Driven and Performance-Based Training Features A great LMS doesn't just present materials to learners. It takes the learner's performance and progress into account to let the company identify knowledge gaps that may impact their bottom line. "Platforms capable of automatically analyzing training data for individual users combined with data on their performance can help identify the impact of their training on the company's business objectives," said George Elfond, the CEO of Rallyware. "Choosing a platform with Machine Learning capabilities is critical for the development of a truly individualized, intelligent system - one that learns as the employee learns and keeps up with his or her evolving development needs," he explained. 3. Make Mobile Mandatory The usage of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets can no longer be understated. In 2018, American adults are expected to spend an average of 2 hours and 51 minutes on mobile media . "Frustration-free mobile design is a key component of any smart training platform. Mobile design extends the value of training by making it available anywhere and anytime. Mobile design allows for learning across multiple contexts, through both social and content interactions. This not only makes training immediately relevant but also more engaging for workers, especially when they are able to access it at a time that works for them," said George Elfond, CEO of Mountain View, Calif.-basedRallyware . Steven Kellow, Digital Marketing & PR Executive at TEFL Org , concurred adding, "The LMS needs to be accessible and just as functional on mobile so that students can access their courses from anywhere and work on them from any device." But, taking things a step further, Kellow shared, a great LMS isn't just available on mobile devices, it excels on smaller screens. "It needs to be easy to find what you're looking for in an LMS, whether it's your next lesson or assignment, or your overall grades," he said. This needs to be as intuitive for the user as possible to make sure they spend their time actually learning rather than navigating the system, Kellow cautions. 4. Search For Social Learning Features According to Elfond, learners using an LMS learn more, are more engaged, and retain knowledge longer when they collaborate. Hence, he's a big advocate of brands searching for social and collaborative features in their LMS. That way, learners don't just absorb knowledge, they discuss and share it, too. "A smart training platform that facilitates collaboration creates communities within the workplace. Improving engagement among employees - with each other, their managers, and the company. Smart training platforms offer your employees the ability to see and share their activity feeds, to comment on their progress, to give and receive feedback from each other," he explained. On top of the machine learning driven data mentioned previously, Karen Hebert-Maccaro, PhD, the Chief Content Officer at Sebastopol, Calif.-based O'Reilly , called for brands to be braver when it comes to their data collection by pushing past, what she calls meaningless metrics. "Look for learning tools that are able to report on adoption patterns. This goes beyond often meaningless metrics, such as completion and time-spent, and includes learning behavior analysis and outcomes assessment," she said. "When selecting an LMS, look for one that measures things like linear and non-linear behavior, whether learners are staying tightly focused on one subject/topical area or bouncing around. The LMS should also provide data about the types of courses or quizzes that learners are completing. These measurements are more valuable and actionable than knowing simply how many hours a certain population spent on an LMS platform," said Hebert-Maccaro. 6. Content creation and curation A strong LMS should also help the company in charge, produce and curate content for the benefit of its learners. "When evaluating LMS platforms it is helpful to leverage a solution that allows to you easily create content capture knowledge and transfer expertise across your organization," said Koreen Pagano, Product Management Director at Kitchener, Canada-based D2L . "Content creation makes it ease to scale knowledge transfer from subject matter experts throughout the organization and across offices. The curation side allows for the centralization of content in one area and in one engagement portal," she said. 7. Watch Out For Video Learning Features Pagano went on to explain the importance of video-based learning, too. "Having a component for video is essential in a new learning environment. The modern learner no longer relies on books and texts for information but turns to videos and visuals to truly understand a concept," she said. This makes total sense when you consider the spike in video marketing strategies , as well as the fact that by 2019, video content will account for 80 percent of the world's internet traffic . In other words, video content is in. You might think that your training strategy should be developed after your LMS has been selected, but it may help to do that before you make a final choice, to ensure your LMS meets the needs of your strategy. Coppa advised brands to, "develop a training strategy, which may include appropriate materials and approaches for different groups of users in the organization to utilize the LMS to its fullest potential. This will maximize the value of time spent on training and informal practice."

In 2018, American adults are expected to spend an average of 2 hours and 51 minutes on mobile media . "Frustration-free mobile design is a key component of any smart training platform. Mobile design extends the value of training by making it available anywhere and anytime. Mobile design allows for learning across multiple contexts, through both social and content interactions. This not only makes training immediately relevant but also more engaging for workers, especially when they are able to access it at a time that works for them," said George Elfond, CEO of Mountain View, Calif.-basedRallyware . Steven Kellow, Digital Marketing & PR Executive at TEFL Org , concurred adding, "The LMS needs to be accessible and just as functional on mobile so that students can access their courses from anywhere and work on them from any device." But, taking things a step further, Kellow shared, a great LMS isn't just available on mobile devices, it excels on smaller screens. "It needs to be easy to find what you're looking for in an LMS, whether it's your next lesson or assignment, or your overall grades," he said. This needs to be as intuitive for the user as possible to make sure they spend their time actually learning rather than navigating the system, Kellow cautions. 4. Search For Social Learning Features According to Elfond, learners using an LMS learn more, are more engaged, and retain knowledge longer when they collaborate. Hence, he's a big advocate of brands searching for social and collaborative features in their LMS. That way, learners don't just absorb knowledge, they discuss and share it, too. "A smart training platform that facilitates collaboration creates communities within the workplace. Improving engagement among employees - with each other, their managers, and the company. Smart training platforms offer your employees the ability to see and share their activity feeds, to comment on their progress, to give and receive feedback from each other," he explained. On top of the machine learning driven data mentioned previously, Karen Hebert-Maccaro, PhD, the Chief Content Officer at Sebastopol, Calif.-based O'Reilly , called for brands to be braver when it comes to their data collection by pushing past, what she calls meaningless metrics. "Look for learning tools that are able to report on adoption patterns. This goes beyond often meaningless metrics, such as completion and time-spent, and includes learning behavior analysis and outcomes assessment," she said. "When selecting an LMS, look for one that measures things like linear and non-linear behavior, whether learners are staying tightly focused on one subject/topical area or bouncing around. The LMS should also provide data about the types of courses or quizzes that learners are completing. These measurements are more valuable and actionable than knowing simply how many hours a certain population spent on an LMS platform," said Hebert-Maccaro. 6. Content creation and curation A strong LMS should also help the company in charge, produce and curate content for the benefit of its learners. "When evaluating LMS platforms it is helpful to leverage a solution that allows to you easily create content capture knowledge and transfer expertise across your organization," said Koreen Pagano, Product Management Director at Kitchener, Canada-based D2L . "Content creation makes it ease to scale knowledge transfer from subject matter experts throughout the organization and across offices. The curation side allows for the centralization of content in one area and in one engagement portal," she said. 7. Watch Out For Video Learning Features Pagano went on to explain the importance of video-based learning, too. "Having a component for video is essential in a new learning environment. The modern learner no longer relies on books and texts for information but turns to videos and visuals to truly understand a concept," she said. This makes total sense when you consider the spike in video marketing strategies , as well as the fact that by 2019, video content will account for 80 percent of the world's internet traffic . In other words, video content is in. You might think that your training strategy should be developed after your LMS has been selected, but it may help to do that before you make a final choice, to ensure your LMS meets the needs of your strategy. Coppa advised brands to, "develop a training strategy, which may include appropriate materials and approaches for different groups of users in the organization to utilize the LMS to its fullest potential. This will maximize the value of time spent on training and informal practice."
