Role Summary

The Solution Architect (Contract Logistics IT CoE) is a senior design authority responsible for end-to-end solution architecture on complex, multi-system contract logistics programs. As a cross-domain expert, this role ensures that all components of a solution – from WMS, TMS, and OMS to integrations, automation, and customer systems – are architected into a holistic, cohesive design. The Solution Architect engages early (pre-sales/demand stage) and stays involved through delivery to guarantee technical integrity, bridging application silos and preventing late-stage design gaps. Two positions will be filled (one in Europe, one in the Americas), reporting into the CL IT CoE’s Integration & Architecture unit, with coverage of their respective regions (and support to other regions as needed).

Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Solution Design: Own the overall technical design for assigned complex CL programs (multi-site or high-complexity implementations). Define how all solution components (WMS, TMS, OMS, integration middleware, automation,



customer systems) will work together to meet requirements.
- Early Engagement in Demand/Pre-Sales: Participate in opportunity shaping – reviewing new customer requirements at demand and RFP stage. Determine if the solution is standard vs. non-standard, and if complex or bespoke elements warrant Solution Architect involvement. Provide guidance on solution options and ensure proposed designs are viable and optimized (e.g. attend architecture board reviews).
- Design Authority During Delivery: Act as the design authority throughout the project lifecycle. Make or approve key architecture decisions, ensuring domain architects’ and product teams’ designs align into a unified solution. Veto or adjust design choices when needed to safeguard end-to-end integrity.
- Cross-System Integration: Develop and document integration architecture (interfaces, data flows, process touchpoints) across all systems in scope.
