About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end technical design and implementation of a large-scale enterprise digital portal. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise architecture, digital experience platforms, and systems integration. You will serve as the technical authority guiding platform selection, defining integration patterns across content management, asset management, CRM, SSO, and e-commerce systems, and ensuring the delivered solution meets scalability, security, and compliance requirements.

This is a high-visibility role with significant influence over technology decisions that will shape a digital partner ecosystem — serving external partners and internal teams through a unified, secure, enterprise-grade platform.

Content, Commerce & Asset Architecture

• Architect an e-commerce module covering catalog management, shopping cart, multi-payment support, and order fulfillment tracking

• Design an asset management integration layer enabling search, metadata tagging, expiry management, and permissioned downloads

• Define content customization and approval workflows supporting user-level personalization with automated review and sign-off routing

Implementation Oversight & Delivery

• Own the technical delivery roadmap including MVP scope, phased rollout planning, and critical path management

• Lead technical reviews and provide architecture guidance across front-end, back-end, and integration workstreams

• Define and oversee UAT, performance testing, and security testing processes

• Serve as technical escalation point for risks, blockers, and vendor decisions throughout the project lifecycle
