Solution Architect

Job Description

• Partner with technical teams to ensure business needs are translated into effective system solutions.
• Evaluate ERP, CRM, workflow, analytics, and enterprise platforms from a functional fitment perspective.
• Support solution configuration, UAT strategy, process sign-offs, and business readiness.

• Recommend initiatives for productivity enhancement, cost reduction, service excellence, and revenue growth.
• Provide leadership with strategic recommendations backed by data and process insights.
• Convert ambiguous business challenges into clear, implementable solutions.

Stakeholder Management

• Engage CXOs, business heads, operations leaders, consultants, and delivery teams.
• Facilitate workshops, requirement sessions, governance reviews, and executive presentations.
• Build consensus across functions and drive ownership for transformation initiatives.

Lead change management and business adoption programs.
