Experience: 10+ years in Solution Architecture
Location: Makati - Hybrid
Job type: Permanent with MNC Client (direct hire)
Responsibilities
- Frame the problem and intended outcomes defining viable solution options, trade-offs and recommended approach
- Define scope boundaries, assumptions, dependencies, risks and customer-furnished items (CFIs) to improve delivery confidence
- Shape commercially grounded roadmaps and delivery packages aligned to program pace and complexity
- Assess current state (capabilities, processes, applications, data, integration and technology), define target state and run gap analysis to prioritise initiatives and inform sequencin
- Maintain end-to-end architecture across domains and resolve cross-stream issues early (process, data, application, integration, technology, security)
- Produce build-ready artefacts including integration contracts, data flows, security model, environment strategy, sequencing and deployment approach
- Embed NFRs, controls, testability and operational readiness from the outset (monitoring, access, auditability, support model)
- Maintain and update architecture baselines (current state and target state) as delivery progresses, ensuring changes are managed through governance and decision record
- Maintain a governed library of patterns, templates, accelerators and reference architectures (current/retired lifecycle)
- Maintain a single narrative across the lifecycle from vision to investment to design to delivery to operation, ensuring coherence and actionable decision-making
Core Skills and Expertise
- Enterprise and solution architecture across business, process, data, application, integration, technology and security domain
- Architecting for outcomes translating strategy into executable blueprints, roadmaps, sequencing and build instruction
- Non-functional requirements (NFRs), controls and quality: performance, resilience, security-by-design, testability and auditability
- Integration and data architecture fundamentals: interface contracts, data flows, information models and trusted data foundations
- Establish and maintain governance and assurance architecture decision records, guardrails, reviews, and risk/issue/dependency management across streams
- Operational readiness deployment approach with cutover, monitoring, support model and run books continuity from concept to operation
- Asset mindset building reusable patterns, templates and reference designs to remove friction and scale what works
Experience
- 10–15+ years of experience across enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or large-scale technology delivery
- Proven experience leading architecture across complex programs spanning multiple platforms, vendors, and delivery streams
- Experience producing build-ready artefacts and providing delivery assurance (NFRs, controls, sequencing, environments, testability, operational readiness)
- Strong experience in consulting or systems integration organisations, including client shaping, governance and stakeholder management
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and uplift capability across teams, embedding repeatable ways of working that persist beyond go-live
