Solution Architect - EHS & Compliance Systems

Job Title

Job Description Summary

Job Description

We are seeking a Solution Architect to join our Enterprise Technology function, supporting the technology stack across EHS and Compliance. This role focuses on the technical design and architecture of the systems these teams rely on — including Intelex (EHS) and Sigma360 (Compliance), alongside the wider compliance stack — ensuring solutions are designed, configured, and deployed in line with business requirements and enterprise standards.

The Solution Architect will report into the Legal and Procurement Systems organization, part of the wider Enterprise Technology function, and will work directly with the EHS and Compliance teams on their respective platforms.

Why This Role

• Gain deep technical exposure across multiple enterprise platforms spanning Legal, EHS, and Compliance, in one of the fastest-transforming areas of enterprise technology.
• High autonomy: solve problems across an entire technology landscape rather than being confined to a single platform or silo.
• We are not looking for someone who already knows every platform. We want strong Solution Architecture fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly — the rest can be taught on the job.

Key Responsibilities

System Support and Configuration

• Act as the technical solution architect for systems supporting Legal, EHS, and Compliance — including Intelex (EHS) and Sigma360 (Compliance) — owning a deep understanding of system architecture, integrations, and cross-system dependencies.
• Translate business requirements from EHS, Compliance, and Legal stakeholders into scalable technical designs and configurations that align to agreed architecture standards.
• Lead technical design reviews and deep-dive assessments in support of implementation and deployment activity across these platforms.
• Collaborate with vendors (including Intelex and Sigma360) on solution design, configuration, releases, and new functionality, providing technical oversight and assurance.
• Design and configure complex rules, workflows, and calculated fields as part of approved solution designs.
• Work with other solution architects across technologies to assess and manage system impacts and interdependencies.
• Perform technical smoke testing prior to release to validate solution design and build quality.
• Support UAT by defining technical test cases and validating changes against approved designs.
• Maintain architecture and design documentation to reflect current system configurations and integrations across Legal, EHS, and Compliance.

Skills & Competencies

Technical Skills (essential and ideal)

Essential:

• Up to 3 years of configuration experience in Workday OR any other enterprise system (ERP, CRM, HRIS, CLM, etc.)
• Experience working with system integrations (e.g., APIs, EIBs, or data feeds between enterprise platforms).
• Strong Excel skills with the ability to apply data-driven approaches to technical configuration.
• Strong attention to detail with data accuracy and data governance, particularly where configuration changes affect regulated or compliance-sensitive data.

Ideal:

• Familiarity with any legal, EHS, or compliance technology solution (e.g., contract lifecycle management, matter management, incident management, screening/risk platforms).
• Finance/Procurement technology exposure.
• Working knowledge of Power BI or similar reporting/data tools.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess technical impacts across multiple systems.
• Results-oriented, able to operate independently while collaborating effectively with delivery teams and vendors.
