Job Description

WHAT YOU WILL DO :

We are now recruiting a Solution Architect for our Assortment Planning Value Stream within Business Tech. This is a key strategic role focused on shaping scalable, modular, and data-driven solutions for the future of planning and quantification.

As Solution Architect, you will lead the technical architecture for several business-critical capabilities, including Assortment Building, Sales and Context Planning, and Assortment Quantification (ASQ). You will work closely with Product Owners, Engineers, Enterprise Architects, and other stakeholders to ensure system- and domain-level alignment.

You will :

• Translate strategic business needs into scalable, modular, and service-based architectures.

• Align with enterprise architecture principles, target states, and capability roadmaps.
• Define and maintain architectural principles, guardrails, and decision-making frameworks.
• Own and evolve version-controlled Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
• Ensure conformance to integration standards (event-driven, API-first, asynchronous messaging).
• Drive structured architectural documentation using PlantUML, C4 Model, and BPMN.
• Support continuous capability modelling and architectural governance.
• Drive the reduction of technical debt and improve the resilience and scalability of systems.
• Ensure ESG compliance and sustainable design principles in architecture.
• Mentor tech leads to promote architectural maturity.
• Facilitate architectural clarity across cross-functional teams and transformation initiatives.
