The Opportunity:
The Solution Architect, Third-Party Applications is responsible for the end-to-end architecture, integration, and lifecycle management of the organization's third-party enterprise platforms, with primary focus on Sage (ERP / financial management) and Kroll (pharmacy management). This role serves as the technical authority on how these vendor platforms are configured, extended, and integrated into the broader application landscape to deliver measurable business outcomes.
Working closely with business stakeholders, vendors, and internal delivery teams, the Solution Architect designs scalable solutions, governs configuration and customization decisions, and ensures integrations with surrounding systems (CRM, data warehouse, identity, document management) are secure, performant, and maintainable. Success in this role means our third-party platforms are stable, well-integrated, upgrade-ready, and continuously aligned to evolving business needs.
A Day in the Life (What you will do here):
Platform Architecture & Design (Sage and Kroll)
- Own the end-to-end solution architecture for Sage (ERP / financial management) and Kroll (risk, compliance, and investigations), including module selection, configuration strategy, customization boundaries, and extensibility patterns.
- Translate business requirements into target-state designs that maximize use of out-of-the-box vendor functionality and minimize custom code, technical debt, and upgrade risk.
- Produce and maintain solution design artifacts; architecture diagrams, data models, integration maps, configuration specs, and decision records for Sage, Kroll, and adjacent third-party applications.
- Evaluate new modules, add-ons, and adjacent third-party SaaS tools against business needs, total cost of ownership, and fit with the existing application ecosystem.
- Define non-functional requirements (availability, performance, scalability, recoverability) for third-party platforms and validate that vendor and internal designs meet them.
Integration & Data Architecture
- Design and oversee integrations between Sage, Kroll, and surrounding systems (CRM, HRIS, data warehouse, identity provider, document management, reporting/BI) using APIs, middleware, and event-driven patterns.
- Define canonical data models and master data flows across third-party platforms, ensuring consistent customer, vendor, employee, matter, and financial records across systems.
- Establish standards and reusable patterns for authentication (SSO/SAML/OAuth), error handling, re-tries, and observability across third-party integrations.
- Lead data migration and conversion strategies for Sage and Kroll implementations, upgrades, and consolidations, including extraction, cleansing, transformation, and validation.
- Partner with the data and analytics team to expose Sage and Kroll data into enterprise reporting and BI in a governed, performant way.
Vendor, Lifecycle & Upgrade Management
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact with Sage, Kroll, and other third-party vendors and implementation partners, holding them accountable to roadmaps, SLAs, and quality standards.
- Maintain a forward-looking roadmap for Sage and Kroll covering version upgrades, module adoption, deprecations, and migration to vendor cloud offerings where appropriate.
- Plan and lead upgrades, patches, and environment refreshes, including impact assessment of customizations, integrations, and reports against new vendor releases.
- Drive license optimization, contract reviews, and renewal strategy in partnership with procurement and finance, ensuring the organization gets full value from vendor agreements.
Governance, Security & Stakeholder Partnership
- Establish architectural standards, design review processes, and decision records for third-party applications, ensuring consistency with enterprise architecture principles.
- Partner with information security, risk, and compliance teams to ensure Sage, Kroll, and related platforms meet data protection, access control, audit, and regulatory requirements.
- Act as a trusted advisor to Finance, Risk/Compliance, and other business stakeholders, translating their needs into pragmatic third-party platform solutions.
- Provide technical leadership and mentoring to analysts, administrators, developers, and integration engineers working on third-party platforms.
- Support incident response and root-cause analysis for production issues impacting Sage, Kroll, and their integrations, driving durable fixes and preventive measures.
- Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders, including trade-offs between configuration, customization, and integration approaches.
- Other duties as assigned by your manager

- Demonstrated experience designing and supporting Kroll platforms (e.g., Kroll compliance, due diligence, investigations, or cyber risk solutions) and integrating them with enterprise systems.
- Strong command of integration architecture, including REST/SOAP APIs, webhooks, ETL/ELT, message queues, and middleware/iPaaS tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure Integration Services, Workato).
- Solid working knowledge of relational databases, SQL, and data modeling, with the ability to reason about performance and data quality across third-party schemas.
