Key Responsibilities

1. Integration Strategy & Domain Architecture (Freedom & Quality)

• Define, design, and govern enterprise-grade integration architectures across our hybrid-cloud ecosystem, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and low latency.

• Act as a Segment Domain Expert: Deeply understand the business processes, data flows, and operational nuances of our core business segments (e.g., Petcare, Snacking, Food) to design integrations that solve real business problems.

• Architect end-to-end integration flows connecting core enterprise systems, including ERPs (SAP S/4HANA), CRMs (Salesforce), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and Retail POS systems.

• Champion API-Led Connectivity and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) as the foundational paradigms for global business operations.

• Establish reusable integration patterns, templates, and frameworks that accelerate time-to-market for digital initiatives across different business units.

2. Technology Leadership & Platform Governance (Efficiency & Quality)

Provide deep architectural expertise and hands‑on design leadership across our core integration platforms:

• SAP BTP Integration Suite (SAP BTP IS): Lead core ERP and cloud line-of-business integrations (e.g., Cloud Integration, API Management)

• Azure Integration Services (Azure IS): Drive cloud-native workflows, event routing, and messaging using Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid, and Azure API Managemen

• MuleSoft Anypoint Platform: Govern API portfolios, design reusable RAML/OAS specs, and establish robust runtime engine deployments (CloudHub/hybrid)

• Solace PubSub+: Design and implement real‑time, high-performance event brokers and streaming frameworks for globally distributed supply chain and manufacturing operations.

• OpenText: Architect secure, high-volume B2B integration networks and EDI systems to support transactional exchanges with global retailers and logistics partners.

• Collaborate with DevOps and Platform squads to implement modern, automated CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code for integration deployments.

3. Stakeholder Collaboration & Mutuality (Mutuality)

• Act as a trusted consultant to Business Partners, Functional Leads, and external partners, translating complex business processes into elegant technical designs.

• Partner closely with security, data privacy, and compliance teams to enforce robust authentication standards (OAuth, OIDC, SAML), encryption at rest/transit, and compliance with global regulations (GDPR, CCPA).

• Present clear, value‑driven architectural proposals to digital leadership, demonstrating how technology choices support business enablement.

4. Continuous Improvement & Associate Mentorship (Responsibility)

• Drive a culture of Domain Excellence within the technical team, encouraging developers and junior architects to build deep expertise in specific business segments and processes rather than remaining pure technical generalists.

• Keep a pulse on emerging industry trends, cloud paradigms, iPaaS innovations, and modern B2B integration capabilities, steering the technology roadmap accordingly.

• Establish a culture of shared learning; mentor junior integration architects and developers, conducting design reviews to elevate collective technical capability.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Industry & Domain Expertise (Mandatory)

• CPG/FMCG Sector Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of experience working within a global Consumer Packaged Goods, retail, or manufacturing enterprise (or serving such clients in an architectural consulting capacity).

• Segment Domain Mindset: Proven ability or strong desire to move beyond purely technical execution to become a true domain expert in core CPG business processes, specifically:

• Order‑to‑Cash (O2C): Customer orders, pricing, billing, and retail POS integrations.

• Procure‑to‑Pay (P2P): Supplier interactions and procurement flows.

• Supply Chain & Logistics: Logistics execution, 3PL/4PL integrations, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), inventory visibility, and product serialization (GS1 standards).

• Modern Protocols & Formats: Expertise in REST, SOAP, gRPC, JSON, XML, and flat‑file integration patterns.

Soft Skills & Leadership

• Principle‑Driven Leadership: Ability to operate under a values‑based framework, demonstrating strong personal accountability and mutual respect.

• Collaborative Mindset: Strong active listening, communication, and negotiation skills, with an innate ability to build bridges across global, multicultural teams.

• Problem‑Solving & Agility: Strong analytical capability, comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast‑paced, digital environment.

Education & Certifications
