Job Description – Solution Architect
Solution Architects are responsible for designing cohesive, end‑to‑end solutions that span multiple systems and capabilities across the product lifecycle. This includes solutions supporting product design, manufacturing, supply chain, and digital customer engagement. The role focuses on integrated solution design, ensuring that business processes, digital capabilities, and underlying platforms work together as a coherent whole. Architects in this role work closely with senior architects and delivery teams to shape solutions that are technically sound, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes.
