• Design OMS solutions supporting omnichannel retail operations including eCommerce, stores, fulfilment centres, click-and-collect, ship-from-store, and returns.
• Lead architecture and design workshops with business and technology stakeholders.
• Define integration architectures between OMS, ERP, eCommerce, POS, WMS, CRM, payment, and logistics platforms.
• Produce high-quality architecture artefacts, roadmaps, and technical documentation.
• Evaluate OMS enhancements, platform capabilities, and vendor solutions.
• Ensure scalability, performance, resilience, security, and operational excellence across OMS services.
• Support delivery teams throughout the development lifecycle and provide architectural governance.
• Collaborate with product managers, programme teams, engineers, and external partners to deliver strategic change initiatives.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Solution Architect within retail or consumer-facing organizations.
• Strong hands-on experience with IBM Sterling OMS or equivalent enterprise OMS platforms.
• Experience delivering large-scale OMS transformations, implementations, upgrades, or integrations.
• Deep understanding of retail order lifecycle management and omnichannel fulfilment processes.
• Strong integration architecture expertise across APIs, event-driven architectures, middleware, microservices, and cloud-native solutions.
• Ability to communicate architecture concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with bespoke or custom-built OMS platforms.
• Cloud architecture expertise across Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Experience with modern integration technologies such as Kafka, MuleSoft, Boomi, or Azure Integration Services.
• Knowledge of retail inventory management and supply chain processes.
• TOGAF or equivalent architecture certification.
• Experience working within agile product and delivery environments.
