Enterprise Architect X2
About The Position
Enterprise Architect Are you a forward-thinking leader who wants to shape an organization’s strategic technology vision? As an enterprise architect, you will help our product teams understand the enterprise architecture landscape and participate in their solutions by guiding and influencing teams to deliver strategic business goals. We have two retail enterprise architect opportunities open, one in store systems and the other in reverse logistics/ supply chain. In the store systems role, you will own architecture for store systems, including POS, operations, associate tools, omnichannel experience, inventory, infrastructure, and digital-to-store integration. In the reverse logistics role, you will own architecture across retail and supply chain, including operations, orders, fulfillment, returns, warehousing, transportation, inventory, refurbishment, and analytics. We practice a remote-first working model, leveraging in-person interactions at our head office in beautiful Vancouver, BC, for strategic, collaborative, and social purposes. Join our collaborative team as an enterprise architect.

- Proven experience owning technology roadmaps, capability maps, and architecture governance (design reviews, ADRs, standards).
- Demonstrated ability to translate business strategy into target-state architectures, transition plans, and sequenced investment cases.
- Working knowledge of at least one EA framework (TOGAF, Zachman, or ArchiMate).
- Strong technical foundation in cloud platforms (Azure preferred), microservices, APIs, event-driven integration, and data architecture.

- Partner with product, engineering, and business teams to evaluate technology options, define integration patterns, and ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and long-term strategy.
- Define and evolve end-to-end architecture for the returns lifecycle — return initiation, routing, triage, refund orchestration, restock, refurbishment, and secondary-market disposition.
- Architect integrations across order management (OMS), warehouse management (WMS), transportation management (TMS), inventory, finance, and carrier ecosystems.
- Partner with Supply Chain, Store Operations, and Customer Care leaders to drive improvements in return cycle time, recovery value, and cost-to-serve.
- Define and evolve the target-state architecture for unified commerce, ensuring seamless customer and associate experiences across digital and physical channels.
- Architect the POS and store operations platform landscape, including modernization strategies, cloud-native POS, and associate-facing applications.
- Design omnichannel fulfillment architecture — BOPIS, curbside pickup, ship-from-store, endless aisle, and store-to-store transfers.
