Job Description

As a Kinaxis Solutions Architect at Kearney, you will lead the design and implementation of supply chain planning solutions for clients using Kinaxis Maestro (RapidResponse). Working with clients to understand their business needs, you will translate those needs into effective Kinaxis Maestro solutions, guide a team of solution and technical consultants in configuring the platform, and help clients realize measurable value from their investments. You will work closely with project leaders, teammates, and practice leaders in a collaborative environment while supporting team development and business development efforts. Depending on each client’s unique needs, projects can differ in length, size, and location, giving you unique, hands‑on experiences across a range of industries and service practices. Working alongside a dedicated and diverse set of people, you will broaden your knowledge and experience in an open, agile, and collaborative environment. With the freedom to be yourself and recognition for what you bring to the table, you can put your purpose into action and help build a future that works for everyone, everywhere—as a Kearney Original.

• Accomplished in supply chain planning, including core principles, operational workflows such as demand projection, inventory control, and S&OP, performance metrics, and current trends and strategies in supply chain optimization.
• Knowledgeable in software architecture principles, model design, build tasks, and related best practices.
• A strong problem‑solver who can analyze complex technical requirements and propose effective solutions.
• An excellent communicator and collaborator with experience working in Agile environments.
• Certified as a Kinaxis Solution Architect or have completed all requirements for Kinaxis Solution Architect certification.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead solution‑design activities, assign configuration tasks, oversee end‑to‑end implementation, and ensure adherence to quality standards and methodologies.

• Translate business needs into Kinaxis Maestro specifications that incorporate industry trends and best practices.
• Resolve complex data and analytics challenges to ensure that the solution produces expected results.

• Support the customer and project team in quality‑assurance practices for the configured solution, including executing unit‑test scripts and supporting end‑to‑end testing and user‑acceptance testing.
• Assess project performance and document lessons learned to increase institutional knowledge.
• Mentor and coach junior team members in model design and build‑task execution throughout the project.
• Work with business‑development teams to identify and explore opportunities for additional work with clients and support efforts to scope new projects.
