## Description

The Solution Architect owns the end-to-end design of enterprise solutions, sitting above both functional and technical workstreams to ensure complete alignment between business processes and technology delivery. This role has command of the total solution - from business requirements and process optimization to application architecture, integrations, security, and deployment.

While the primary focus is on applications and integrations (ERP, CRM, middleware, and APIs), the Solution Architect also ensures all solutions meet security, compliance, and cloud deployment standards through close collaboration with the Infrastructure and Security team.

The Solution Architect will collaborate with the PMO to evaluate new products and platforms, guide implementations to follow the approved architecture, and uphold strong governance so solutions are sustainable, scalable, cost-effective, and aligned with enterprise strategy.

 * Ensure all application architectures incorporate security, compliance, scalability, and cost optimization.
 * Collaborate across business, functional, and technical teams to maintain alignment throughout project lifecycles.
 * Establish and uphold strong architectural governance processes to protect long-term solution integrity.
 * Assess current systems and processes, identify opportunities to streamline, align, and simplify, and recommend improvements through upgrades, consolidation, new technologies, or architectural changes
 * Lead the design of application and integration architectures, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and strategy.
 * Oversee both functional and technical workstreams to maintain alignment with the approved solution blueprint.
 * Conduct product and platform evaluations, including proof-of-concepts, ROI analysis, and vendor assessments.
 * Partner with stakeholders to translate business requirements into detailed architecture blueprints, including data flows, API specifications, and integration patterns.
 * Oversee implementation to ensure adherence to design principles, security requirements, and cost objectives.
 * Document and maintain architecture decisions, design patterns, and governance standards.
 * Collaborate with Infrastructure and Security teams to ensure deployment readiness and compliance with security policies.
 * Anticipate risks and constraints related to time, scope, resources, and compliance, and develop mitigation strategies.
 * Mentor technical and functional team members to promote architectural best practices.
 * Promote the use of Kubernetes, containerization, and microservices where appropriate for scalability and agility.
 * Participate in and where needed, lead architecture review boards or governance forums.
 * Design and lead AI-driven solutions: Build secure, scalable systems that integrate AI into business processes, guiding teams to drive innovation, ensure governance, and align with organizational goals and ethics.
