ERP Solution Architect

Role Overview

• Define and own the Architecture Runway, ensuring it remains strictly aligned with the long-term Target Architecture.
• Collaborate with Solution Trains and Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to synchronize technical roadmaps with business priorities.
• Design end-to-end integration strategies across a heterogeneous landscape (e.g. SAP S/4HANA,GEP Smart, ORO, Deployed and other CLM Platforms).
• Drive comprehensive end-to-end solution designs, managing complex integrations and seamless data flows across the ecosystem.
• Translate high-level business requirements into detailed solution/system designs and actionable backlogs.
• Manages Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) and fitness functions.
• Enforce a "Clean Core" strategy and adhere to established extensibility principles to ensure system longevity.
• Champion a Fit-to-Standard approach to minimize technical debt and proactively reduce WRICEF (Workflow, Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements, and Forms) complexity.
• Documents and evolves the architecture throughout the product life cycle, and aligns with the architecture community for proper governance.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks and dependencies across multiple ARTs (Agile Release Train).
• Maintain overall technical integrity and architectural consistency across the enterprise landscape.
• Identify, Design and scale AI-driven innovations (e.g., automated contract redlining, contract analytics, negotiation, predictive sourcing) within the Source to Contract solutions/systems.
• Transforming traditional Procurement tools/systems by architecting Agentic AI systems that transition from 'human-led/system-supported' to 'AI-led/human-governed' workflows.
• Author and maintain critical architectural artifacts, including Solution Design Documents (SDD), Technical Specifications, and Integration Data Flows, ensuring a "Source of Truth" for future scalability.
• Ensure all technical designs and documentation comply with GxP, Data Privacy (GDPR), ICFR (Internal Control over Financial Reporting) and Roche-specific security standards, facilitating smooth internal and external audits.
• Define and govern the multi-tier landscape strategy (Dev, Test, Pre-Prod, and Prod), ensuring environment parity and robust regression testing protocols.
• Oversee the creation and execution of comprehensive test plans (UAT(User Acceptance Test), SIT (System Integration Test), and Performance Testing) to ensure solutions meet the highest standards of stability and performance.
• Explains difficult or sensitive technical information and works collaboratively to build consensus among product teams, business stakeholders, and technical peers.
