Job Description:

Role Overview

The Senior Manager, Data Architecture & Solutions owns the data and solution architecture of btOS, the Baker Tilly Operating System that Products & Platforms runs for Managed Services. The role reports directly to the Principal, Products & Platforms, and is a senior individual contributor who directs engineers, contractors and partner resources on the initiatives they lead.

btOS is one client-facing platform built from interchangeable engines: AI (Basis, Agent Studio, Phinite), data and BI (KNIME, Snowflake, MS Power, Solver) and the btIQ (Client Prism) insights product. Engines will change; the client data model, integrations and governance underneath them must not. This role designs and stewards that durable layer so every business line - Family Office, Real Estate, PEFS, HRS, and Technology & Compliance - can plug client systems into btOS, and so engine swaps are invisible to clients.

The Senior Manager turns business-line and client needs into reference architectures, data models, integration patterns and working solutions, then carries them through Build / Buy / Borrow decisions, enterprise intake, pilot, and sustained adoption. The role also joins client pursuits and solution discussions where data, automation and AI are part of the Managed Services value proposition.

Success requires hands-on architecture credibility, business acumen, and the ability to keep several initiatives moving in a fast-paced consulting environment with incomplete information.

Key Responsibilities

btOS Data & Solution Architecture

• Own the btOS reference architecture: the canonical client data model, integration patterns, and the standards that let AI, data and BI engines be swapped without disrupting clients.
• Design how client source systems (ERP, general ledger, property management, fund accounting, payroll/HRIS, ticketing) flow into Snowflake, KNIME and MS Power, and out to Solver, Basis, Agent Studio, Phinite and btIQ (Client Prism).
• Define data governance, quality, lineage and access standards for btOS, aligned to firm Data Governance, GRC and Security requirements.
• Maintain the btOS technology inventory and future-state map (Solver, Arch, Phinite, btIQ, SumIt) and the dependencies between engines, business lines and client cohorts.

Solution Design & Delivery

• Translate business-line and client requirements into architectures, data models, workflows and expected outcomes; write the solution design before the build starts.
• Lead solution build for prioritized initiatives, directing engineers, contractors and partner resources through design, development, testing and release.
• Build reusable components (connectors, data pipelines, reconciliati
