• Establish a repeatable integration architecture playbook to accelerate onboarding of acquired companies while reducing rework, inconsistency, and technical debt

• Partner with Engineering, Applications, Data & Analytics, Security, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders to align integration strategy, sequencing, and ownership

• Guide architecture decisions across Oracle Fusion, legacy ERPs, operational systems, analytics platforms, customer/supplier ecosystems, and acquired company landscapes

• Translate business integration objectives into clear architectural decisions, implementation guardrails, and executive-ready recommendations

• 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'll bring:

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience

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

• Ability to define integration standards and operating models that improve consistency without slowing delivery

• 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

  • Paid training and certifications
  • Legal assistance and identity protection
  • Pet insurance
