Education
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Specialized Knowledge
• Enterprise integration architecture across APIs, event-driven patterns, middleware, messaging, file-based integration, data integration, and orchestration
• ERP-centric integration patterns, especially involving Oracle Fusion, legacy ERP platforms, financials, supply chain, order management, procurement, and operational systems
• M&A technology diligence, Day 1 integration planning, post-close harmonization, and integration sequencing across acquired businesses
• Integration governance models, pattern catalogs, reference architectures, architecture decision records, and exception management
• System-of-record design, master data flows, transaction integrity, reconciliation, latency, failure handling, and operational resilience
• Cloud and hybrid integration patterns across enterprise platforms, data platforms, and third-party ecosystems
Skills
• Strong enterprise architecture judgment with the ability to translate complex business and technical environments into practical integration decisions
• Ability to define integration standards and operating models that improve consistency without slowing delivery

Abilities
• Operate independently with senior-level judgment and minimal oversight
• Lead through ambiguity across multiple acquisitions, platforms, vendors, and delivery teams
• Make sound tradeoffs between speed, cost, complexity, operational risk, and long-term sustainability
• Challenge assumptions constructively and create alignment across senior stakeholders
• Build repeatable architecture practices, not just solve one-off integration problems
Other characteristics
• Comfortable challenging assumptions and decisions constructively
• Trusted partner to engineering and delivery teams
Professional certifications
• Cloud or integration-related certifications preferred but not required
Experience
• 12+ years in integration architecture, enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or related technology leadership roles
• 5+ years defining or governing integration architecture across large, complex enterprise environments
• Demonstrated experience owning integration strategy and delivery across ERP, operational systems, data platforms, and third-party ecosystems
• Experience supporting acquisitions, system harmonization, carve-ins, carve-outs, or multi-entity integration strongly preferred
• Proven ability to define standards, guide architecture decisions, and influence delivery teams without direct authority
• Experience leading or mentoring architects, engineers, or cross-functional delivery teams preferred
• Oracle Fusion, ERP modernization, or large-scale enterprise platform transformation experience strongly preferred
