DESCRIPTION

This opportunity calls for vendors to provide solutions architect services, focusing on the modernization of an organization's enterprise application portfolio. The role centers around transitioning from legacy, siloed systems to a secure, integrated, and scalable suite of interconnected business solutions that align with the organization's mission and strategic vision.

The solutions architect will lead and govern modernization strategies for applications, integrations, data flows, and infrastructure, providing direction across HRIS, CRM, ERP, ticketing, POS, and donor and animal management platforms. Responsibilities include collaborating with implementation teams and external vendors to address integration issues, performance challenges, and data inconsistencies. The architect will also support vendor evaluation and selection processes, conduct technical and risk assessments, and manage budgets, project timelines, and ROI tracking.
