Solution Architect (PXM / PIM / MDM)

Role Overview

Syndigo is looking for a Solution Architect to own end-to-end solution and functional architecture for enterprise PXM, PIM, and MDM implementations, ensuring strong alignment between business strategy, data strategy, and technical execution.

This role is accountable for leading discovery, defining target-state architecture, and producing clear, scalable, governed functional designs across systems. The Solution Architect works with customers, Program Managers, Implementation Leads, Product, Engineering, and Partners to translate requirements

into executable solutions.

The Solution Architect reduces delivery risk and prevents rework by acting as the design authority and data governance champion across Syndigo's delivery programmes. As agentic commerce reshapes how product data is consumed, this role also owns whether a customer's data foundation is genuinely ready for AI.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Functional Solution Design

Lead functional discovery to understand business processes, data requirements, and target-state objectives
Define and document data models, hierarchies, taxonomies, attributes, workflows, and business rules across PXM, PIM, and MDM
Translate business requirements into scalable, governed functional designs aligned to platform capability
Produce a clear Functional Specification Document at the close of each solution phase

Integration & Data Strategy

Define integration approach, system interaction models, and data ownership boundaries
Align data migration strategy, validation approach, and cutover planning with delivery teams
Ensure functional alignment across upstream systems such as ERP and PLM and downstream channels such as commerce, marketplaces, and syndication
Set data quality thresholds and governance rules that the delivered solution must sustain

Design for AI & Agentic Commerce

Assess whether a customer's taxonomy, attribution, and data quality are sufficient for AI enrichment and agentic consumption
Design human-in-the-loop checkpoints into target-state workflows so automation stays governed
Define where AI agents may act unattended and where human approval remains mandatory
Specify the data quality and completeness thresholds that make AI output trustworthy

Cross-Functional & Multi-Team Collaboration

Partner closely with Implementation Leads, Program Managers, Product, Engineering, and partner teams
Facilitate customer and partner workshops, design reviews, and solution walkthroughs
Provide continuous design guidance during implementation to prevent scope creep and rework

Design Governance & Quality

Act as design authority to ensure functional consistency and architectural integrity against Syndigo best practice and product guidelines
Ensure adherence to data governance standards, best practice, and Center of Excellence guidelines
Review solution changes and assess downstream impact across systems before approval

Working with AI

The Solution Architect carries the deepest AI responsibility in the delivery organisation. The role decides whether a customer's data foundation can support AI and agentic commerce, and designs the governance that keeps automation safe.

Lead data readiness assessment for AI, covering taxonomy structure, attribute coverage, completeness, and data quality
Design target-state architecture that supports AI-driven enrichment, content generation, and agentic retrieval
Define human-in-the-loop control points, approval thresholds, and audit requirements within designed workflows
Use approved AI tooling to accelerate discovery synthesis, data profiling, mapping proposals, and design documentation
Validate every AI-assisted design artefact personally, since design errors propagate further than build errors
Advise customers honestly on where AI will and will not deliver value against their current data maturity

Required Skills & Abilities

Strong analytical and functional solution design capability for enterprise data platforms
Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into scalable, governed functional designs
Strong understanding of PXM, PIM, MDM, or comparable data platforms and their integration patterns
Deep grounding in data governance, data quality, taxonomy, and master data principles
Excellent workshop facilitation and stakeholder communication skills
Ability to reduce ambiguity early and prevent downstream delivery risk
Clear communication with both technical and business audiences, including executive stakeholders

Education & Experience

Bachelor's degree required. Master's degree or equivalent advanced credential preferred
10+ years in solution architecture, business analysis, or enterprise data platforms
Strong experience with PXM, PIM, MDM, or comparable data-centric platforms
Data management certification such as CDMP or DAMA DMBOK alignment is an advantage

Technical Skill Set

Enterprise PXM, PIM, MDM, or comparable data platforms
APIs, integrations, REST services, and JSON-based configuration
SQL and reporting for data analysis, profiling, and validation
Python and Postman for data inspection, API validation, and analysis
Data modelling notation, taxonomy design, and hierarchy management
GS1 standards, GDSN, and retailer or marketplace content requirements
Data quality measurement and governance frameworks
