About The Position

Allata is a global consulting and technology services firm founded in 2016, with more than 350 employees across the US, India, and Argentina. The firm partners with large enterprises to bring AI into production and to modernize technology, unlock data value, and create digital experiences through cross-functional client teams.

Allata is seeking a Solution Architect Manager to lead architecture and delivery for a large enterprise client's ERP modernization program. The client is replacing an end-of-life ERP platform and moving order activation, fulfillment, and licensing logic out of the ERP into an in-house application. The work begins with components outside the ERP that can be developed independently of the new platform. The manager will serve as Allata's senior presence on the engagement and lead an embedded team of architects, engineers, and analysts.

Allata is an equal opportunity employer that celebrates diversity and is committed to an inclusive environment. Employment decisions are made without regard to legally protected categories, and this policy applies across employment terms and conditions.
