  • Translate solution designs into actionable plans by working closely with Technical Solution Designers and Business Analysts.
  • Ensure solutions integrate seamlessly with existing systems and align with enterprise architecture principles and strategic roadmaps.
  • Lead the reengineering of business processes to enhance productivity, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
  • Assess risks and impacts of proposed solutions, implement mitigation strategies, and monitor performance post-implementation.


Requirements:


  • Strong understanding of large-scale IT transformations, in complex corporate business environments.
  • Proven experience with ERP implementations and integrations.
  • Have previously led teams of Solution / Technical Architects.
  • Skilled in working with large datasets and understanding data flows within business processes.
  • Creative thinker with a pragmatic approach to process standardization and a focus on business needs.
  • Experience designing solutions that enable significant business shifts, aligned with enterprise architecture principles and technical roadmaps.
