Job description

Solution Architect

ERP Suites is looking for a Solution Architect to transform complex business challenges into practical, scalable technology solutions. In this role, you'll partner closely with clients, consulting teams, and technical experts to design solutions that deliver measurable business value while ensuring successful implementation.

As a Solution Architect, you'll own the solution lifecycle-from discovery and requirements gathering through architecture design, proposal development, implementation guidance, and post-project review. You'll serve as the trusted advisor to both clients and internal teams, balancing business objectives with technical feasibility to deliver solutions that meet customer needs and drive long-term success.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working across multiple enterprise technologies, and influencing both strategy and execution.

Key Responsibilities

Solution Architecture & Design

• Lead discovery sessions to understand client business processes, objectives, challenges, and technical requirements.
• Translate business needs into scalable, practical solution architectures and functional designs.
• Design integrated solutions across enterprise platforms, including JD Edwards, Salesforce, AI technologies, and related business applications.
• Evaluate solution alternatives by considering business value, implementation complexity, risk, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• Produce solution architecture documents, workflow diagrams, technical specifications, and implementation roadmaps.

Client Engagement & Presales

• Serve as a trusted advisor during presales engagements, helping clients identify the best solution for their business needs.
• Facilitate discovery workshops and requirements sessions with executives, business users, and technical stakeholders.
• Present solution recommendations with clear business and technical justification.
• Support proposal development, project estimation, and implementation planning.
• Set realistic expectations regarding project scope, timelines, costs, and delivery approach.

Delivery Leadership

• Maintain architectural ownership throughout project delivery to ensure solutions are implemented as designed.
• Collaborate with project managers, consultants, developers, and client teams to resolve design questions and implementation challenges.
• Identify risks, technical constraints, and scope changes early, recommending practical solutions when adjustments are needed.
• Review implementation progress to ensure alignment with architectural standards and client objectives.
• Participate in post-implementation reviews and continuously improve delivery methodologies and best practices.

About You

You enjoy solving business problems just as much as technical ones. You're naturally curious, ask thoughtful questions, and quickly understand how technology can improve business operations.

You communicate effectively with both executives and technical teams, translating complex concepts into language that builds confidence and trust. You take ownership of your work, make informed decisions, and remain engaged throughout delivery to ensure your solutions achieve the intended outcomes.

You thrive in consulting environments where every client presents a unique challenge and where your ability to think strategically, collaborate effectively, and adapt quickly makes a meaningful impact.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience designing enterprise technology solutions across one or more business platforms.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to understand complex business processes.
• Ability to translate business requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Experience facilitating discovery sessions, gathering requirements, and documenting solution designs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence decisions through collaboration.
• Ability to estimate implementation effort, identify risks, and recommend practical delivery approaches.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with JD Edwards, Salesforce, Oracle ERP Cloud, AI platforms, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, SAP, or similar enterprise systems.
• Consulting or professional services experience supporting multiple client engagements.
• Experience participating in both presales solution architecture and post-sales implementation.
• Familiarity with system integrations, APIs, cloud platforms, and enterprise application architecture.
• Experience working with AI technologies, automation platforms, or modern integration frameworks is a plus.
• Certifications in Oracle, Salesforce, cloud platforms, or enterprise architecture are preferred but not required. ERP Suites supports professional development and will contribute toward relevant certifications for the right candidate.
