For more information, please visit www.vml.com and follow along on LinkedIn #WeAreVML. Our Commerce & Technology division helps leading global brands design, build and run the commerce platforms behind their growth. We are seeking a Principal Solutions Architect to lead solution in business pursuits and account growth, across enterprise commerce. You will be the person in the room who understands how the whole commerce estate fits together, from web storefront and mobile app through commerce platform, data and ERP. You will turn that understanding into a clear case for business value, win the trust of senior client stakeholders, and when it helps, build a working demonstration to show them what good looks like. Key Responsibilities • Architect Enterprise Commerce: Design end to end commerce solutions across Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify, HCL and composable (MACH) solutions, spanning web, mobile apps, data and back office systems. • Lead with value: Frame every solution around commercial outcomes, cost and return, so clients can see clear cases for change rather than a technology shopping list. • Serve as an outward-facing, energetic leader who runs workshops, participates in governance, and collaborates with commercial teams to identify and shape technical growth opportunities.
