  • Identify architectural risks early and define mitigation plans that reduce operational disruption during integrations, platform transitions, and acquisition onboarding
  • Balance speed, pragmatism, cost, and long-term architectural coherence in a fast-moving, acquisition-driven environment
  • Influence senior stakeholders and delivery teams without direct authority, creating alignment across competing priorities
  • Provide clear recommendations and say “no” when required, with credibility grounded in business impact, operational risk, integration complexity, cost, and delivery feasibility
  • Mentor architects, engineers, and delivery teams on integration architecture principles, standards, and reusable patterns
What you will bring::

Specialized Knowledge

  • ERP-centric integration patterns, especially involving Oracle Fusion, legacy ERP platforms, financials, supply chain, order management, procurement, and operational systems
  • M&A technology diligence, Day 1 integration planning, post-close harmonization, and integration sequencing across acquired businesses
  • Integration governance models, pattern catalogs, reference architectures, architecture decision records, and exception management
  • System-of-record design, master data flows, transaction integrity, reconciliation, latency, failure handling, and operational resilience
  • Cloud and hybrid integration patterns across enterprise platforms, data platforms, and third-party ecosystems


Skills

  • Strong enterprise architecture judgment with the ability to translate complex business and technical environments into practical integration decisions

  • Strong executive communication, with the ability to explain integration risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations in clear business language
  • Ability to influence Engineering, Applications, Data, Security, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders without direct authority
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills in ambiguous, high-pressure environments
  • Ability to distinguish between tactical integration needs, strategic architecture decisions, and avoidable technical debt


Abilities

  • Operate independently with senior-level judgment and minimal oversight
  • Lead through ambiguity across multiple acquisitions, platforms, vendors, and delivery teams
  • Make sound tradeoffs between speed, cost, complexity, operational risk, and long-term sustainability
  • Challenge assumptions constructively and create alignment across senior stakeholders
  • Build repeatable architecture practices, not just solve one-off integration problems


Other characteristics

  • Comfortable challenging assumptions and decisions constructively
  • Trusted partner to engineering and delivery teams


Professional certifications

  • Cloud or integration-related certifications preferred but not required


Experience

  • 12+ years in integration architecture, enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or related technology leadership roles
  • 5+ years defining or governing integration architecture across large, complex enterprise environments
  • Demonstrated experience owning integration strategy and delivery across ERP, operational systems, data platforms, and third-party ecosystems
  • Experience supporting acquisitions, system harmonization, carve-ins, carve-outs, or multi-entity integration strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to define standards, guide architecture decisions, and influence delivery teams without direct authority
  • Experience leading or mentoring architects, engineers, or cross-functional delivery teams preferred
  • Oracle Fusion, ERP modernization, or large-scale enterprise platform transformation experience strongly preferred

  • Base pay range: $140,400 - $210,600
  • Annual performance bonus
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
