We’re seeking an experienced Vancouver based Solution Architect to play a key role in supporting two inflight technology initiatives.
Ther current environment includes multiple ERP instances across different geographies and business lines, alongside legacy applications, custom integrations, and manual processes. Your role will be to assess the existing landscape, develop a practical future-state design, and ensure both programs work together to deliver a cohesive, scalable solution.
This is an opportunity for a strategic thinker who can connect business needs with technical solutions, guide implementation partners, and bring clarity to complex technology environments.
What You’ll Do
Lead solution design
Assess the current technology landscape, including ERP instances, supporting applications, integrations, and data flows. Define the future-state design and ensure proposed solutions align with business objectives and enterprise standards.
Connect systems and data
Design integration approaches between systems using APIs, middleware, EDI, and file-based exchanges. Address data integrity, master data governance, reporting, security, and scalability requirements.
Improve business processes
Work with business stakeholders and implementation partners to shape future-state processes across Procure-to-Pay, requisitioning and purchasing, supplier management, accounts payable, and financial reporting. Identify opportunities to simplify and standardize processes.
Guide decisions and manage risk
Serve as the primary solution design authority across both programs. Review implementation partner deliverables, resolve design issues, identify dependencies, and ensure decisions support the organization’s long-term technology goals.
Communicate the big picture
Lead discovery sessions and contribute to process design workshops. Develop clear, practical documentation, including system diagrams, data flow maps, and integration specifications. Present options and recommendations in a way that makes sense to both technical and business audiences.
Support successful delivery
Collaborate with Enterprise Architects, Technical Architects, business teams, and implementation partners throughout the project lifecycle, including data migration, cutover, deployment, and operational readiness.
What You Bring
- 8+ years of experience in Solution Architecture, Integration Architecture, or senior technical design roles within ERP implementation or modernization programs.
- Proven experience integrating ERP, procurement, and financial systems.
- Hands-on experience with an enterprise middleware or iPaaS platform such as MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Azure Integration Services, or Informatica.
- Experience with multi-instance or multi-geography ERP environments, including consolidation, rationalization, or parallel operations.
- The ability to assess complex legacy environments and turn findings into practical, well-documented solutions.
- Strong technical documentation and diagramming skills, including data flow maps and integration specifications.
- Experience facilitating discovery sessions, leading design workshops, and presenting recommendations to business and technical stakeholders.
- Familiarity with Enterprise Architecture principles, governance frameworks, and technology standards.
- The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical detail.
Experience That Will Set You Apart
- MuleSoft / Anypoint Platform experience.
- Cloud-based procurement solutions such as Coupa, SAP Ariba, or JAGGAER.
- Manufacturing ERP platforms such as QAD, Infor, or SAP.
- ERP consolidation or multi-system transformation programs.
- Document management or invoice processing solutions such as Laserfiche or OnBase.
- Direct QAD or Coupa experience.
- Background in the CPG or beverage industry.
The Ideal Candidate
You’re a strong problem-solver who can walk into a complex technology environment, quickly understand how the pieces fit together, and establish a clear path forward. You’re comfortable discussing strategy with senior leaders while also working through integration details with technical teams.
You communicate visually, explain the reasoning behind your recommendations, and bring stakeholders together around practical decisions. You understand that successful transformation requires more than implementing new technology—it requires thoughtful choices that balance business value, cost, risk, and long-term operational needs.
