Job Summary

The Solution Architect is a senior project leadership role that is critical to the success of our implementations. Solution Architects are often the most senior technical resource on a project team. They are skilled communicators that exhibit strong executive presence and can present and defend different point of views on various technologies to a variety of audiences. Solution Architects take absolute ownership over their work and strive to deliver the best customer results while scaling members of their own team.

Solution Architects are responsible for leading the design of the solution, ensuring that the proposed architecture supports the business requirements across all processes. This involves leading discovery sessions with the client to understand their current state processes, helping the client to transform current state processes into future-state business requirements, translating those business requirements into a technical solution, and documenting that solution in the form of deliverables such as the Technical Design Document (TDD), ERD models, ecosystem and integration diagrams, and process flows.

Responsibilities

• Lead the evaluation of business and technical requirements, driving alignment with best-practices for the solution design and ongoing solution maintenance/management.

• Translate functional requirements into detailed system design documentation and build tasks, providing a solution that can be implemented by another team member.
