About The Position

The Senior Solution Architect defines the architecture and technical direction for 7-Eleven’s Marketing Technology (MarTech) ecosystem, spanning data, decisioning, content, activation, and measurement across Retail Media (RMN), CRM, Personalization, and Web. This role designs the target-state architecture, including the orchestration/enrichment layer and a business-facing decisioning capability, and establishes the integration patterns, standards, and governance that turn a fragmented set of platforms into a cohesive, scalable capability. The Senior Solution Architect leads build-vs-buy evaluations, defines data and API contracts, and partners with engineering, data, product, and platform owners to sequence a pragmatic roadmap. This role is a senior technical authority ensuring MarTech investments are consistent, reusable, compliant, and aligned to business outcomes.
