Solution Architect – Pricing Platform Technology (Pricefx / Vendavo)

The Solution Architect will own the end-to-end technical and functional architecture for enterprise pricing, CPQ, and commercial-excellence solutions. This person will lead discovery, translate business-pricing requirements into scalable platform designs, define integration and data architecture, guide delivery teams, and ensure a high-quality implementation from design through hypercare.

This role requires hands-on implementation experience on Pricefx or Vendavo. It is a hands-on architect position: alongside leading the design and the delivery team, you will personally build pricing logic, configuration, and integrations.

Key responsibilities

• Lead solution discovery sessions with Pricing, Sales, Finance, Product, IT, and Operations stakeholders.
• Translate business requirements into end-to-end solution architecture, functional design, integration specifications, data models, workflows, and configuration standards.
• Design scalable solutions across pricing processes, including price setting, price guidance, price lists, discounting, deal approvals, rebates, quoting, margin analysis, and workflow management.
• Define integration architecture between the pricing platform and ERP, CRM, CPQ, MDM, e-commerce, BI, and data platforms.
• Establish security, data-quality, release-management, testing, and support standards.
• Lead and mentor functional consultants, developers/configuration engineers, integration engineers, and QA testers.
• Personally build and configure critical pricing logic, workflows, and integrations, especially in complex or high-risk areas of the solution.
• Review and approve technical designs, configuration workbooks, development artifacts, test plans, and deployment-readiness materials.
• Identify implementation risks, data gaps, process inconsistencies, and architectural constraints early; recommend pragmatic resolution paths.
• Partner with client or internal leadership to prioritize scope, manage design decisions, and maintain alignment with business value.
• Support cutover planning, deployment, hypercare, production issue resolution, and transition to support teams.
• Lead knowledge-transfer sessions and help build client self-sufficiency after go-live.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in enterprise business systems, pricing technology, CPQ, commercial excellence, or related transformation programs.
• 3+ years of hands-on implementation experience with Pricefx or Vendavo (required), including solution design, configuration, development, and integrations.
• Hands-on technical depth: able to personally design and build pricing logic, configuration, and integrations, not only review the work of others.
• Demonstrated ownership of at least two end-to-end implementation or major enhancement programs.
• Strong knowledge of B2B pricing concepts, including price waterfalls, price lists, discounting, rebates, deal approvals, margin management, segmentation, and commercial policy.
• Experience designing integrations with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, or other enterprise systems.
• Working knowledge of APIs, JSON, data mappings, ETL/integration patterns, and enterprise data flows.
• Strong stakeholder-management, presentation, facilitation, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to lead both business and technical teams in a client-facing environment.

Preferred qualifications

• Pricefx Solution Architect, Configuration Engineer, or relevant product certification.
• Vendavo certification or direct experience with Vendavo Price Manager, Deal Manager, Profit Analyzer, or CPQ.
• Experience with Vendavo's legacy on-premise platform as well as its current cloud platform.
• Experience with other pricing or CPQ platforms such as PROS, Zilliant, Salesforce CPQ, Oracle CPQ, or SAP pricing.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA order-to-cash, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle ERP, Snowflake, Azure, AWS, or integration platforms.
• Background in manufacturing, distribution, chemicals, industrial products, building materials, consumer goods, or B2B services.
• Experience with Agile delivery, Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or similar delivery tools.

Success measures

• Solution design approved with minimal rework.
• Business requirements traceable to configured and tested platform capabilities.
• Clean integration, data-migration, and release-readiness outcomes.
• On-time deployment and controlled post-go-live stabilization.
• Strong adoption by pricing, sales, finance, and operations users.

Engagement details

• Billable from day one: you will join client projects immediately, with no ramp-up period, so you must be able to lead a Pricefx or Vendavo implementation from the start.
• Full project commitment: you will be expected to stay on each client assignment for its full duration.
• Global client delivery: projects are with international clients, so some flexibility to occasionally align with client time zones is expected.
• Fluent professional English, written and spoken, as you will work directly with client teams.
