Overview of the role:
Saputo Inc. is seeking an experienced Solution Architect to lead the design and delivery of a Trade Promotion Management (TPM) transformation within the Saputo organization.
This role is accountable for defining and governing the end to end solution architecture across TPM, ERP, and analytics platforms to enable scalable, integrated, and business aligned capabilities supporting trade promotion planning, execution, pricing, rebates, and deductions.
The Solution Architect will act as the technical and architectural authority, working closely with business stakeholders, delivery teams, system integrators, and vendors to ensure successful implementation and long term sustainability of the solution landscape.
How you will make contributions that matter:
Architecture & Solution Design
Own the end-to-end solution architecture for TPM, ensuring alignment with business strategy and enterprise architecture standards.
Design and configure scalable, future-proof solutions supporting:
Trade promotions planning, budgeting and execution
Promotion performance, ROI analysis and advanced reporting/analytics
Define integration patterns, in collaboration with the Enterprise Architecture team, between TPM, ERP (e.g., SAP ECC / S/4HANA), and analytics platforms.
Ensure architecture supports global, multi‑region, and evolving business requirements.
Implementation Leadership
Serve as technical lead for TPM implementations (e.g., Vistex, or similar platforms).
Define system landscape, logical and physical architectures, and integration patterns (real‑time vs. batch, APIs, middleware).
Guide system configuration, customization, data migration, testing strategy, and cutover planning.
Partner with system integrators and external vendors, ensuring architectural integrity, quality, and adherence to standards.
Provide architectural oversight through design reviews, build phases, and post‑go‑live optimization.
Business & Stakeholder Engagement
Translate business requirements into clear, actionable designs.
Influence cross‑functional stakeholders (Sales, Finance, Trade Marketing, IT) without direct authority.
Communicate complex technical concepts in a way that is accessible to business and executive audiences.
You are best suited for the role if you have the following qualifications:
Experience
10+ years of experience in solution or enterprise architecture, preferably within CPG or FMCG.
Hands-on experience with Trade Promotion Management (TPM) platforms (e.g., Vistex, or similar).
Strong TPM experience (e.g., Vistex, SAP TPM) with customer centric process design.
Proven experience integrating TPM and ERP systems (SAP ECC / S/4HANA required).
Technical & Functional Skills
Deep understanding of CPG trade processes: promotions, pricing, rebates, deductions, and accruals.
Strong integration architecture knowledge (APIs, middleware, batch vs real-time).
Experience with data models, reporting, and analytics related to trade spend.
Familiarity with SAP SD, FI, pricing, and order-to-cash processes is a strong asset.
Leadership & Communication
Ability to influence without authority and guide cross-functional teams.
Strong communication skills — able to explain complex concepts to both technical and business audiences.
Experience working with vendors, SIs, and internal delivery teams.
