Senior Solutions Architect - Logistics and Global Trade Management

The primary role of the Lead Solution Architect is to assess and design the solution as part of the Discovery program in an Agile technology team. The Architect will work closely with the Business analysts and Product Owners as well as platform teams and external consultants. 

SC Discovery is a strategic phase within the Ignite program focused on shaping the future of ResMed’s Supply Chain capabilities. It is not about selecting specific applications yet; rather, it aims to define the future state architecture, capabilities, and design principles that will guide subsequent delivery phases. This phase ensures alignment between business strategy and technology enablement, creating a resilient, compliant, and scalable supply chain ecosystem. 

• Capability Roadmap & Taxonomy 
  Establish a structured capability taxonomy for supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, and related domains. This includes areas like Source-to-Receipt, Planning, Quality Management, Data & AI. 

• Architectural North Star 
  Define a clear target architecture to guide solution selection and integration across programmes (e.g., Network 2030, Enterprise MDM). This involves conceptual application views, integration patterns, and governance models. 

• Fit-Gap Analysis & Future State Design 
  Conduct detailed assessments of current processes and systems, identify gaps, and outline high-value design decisions for the next five years. 

SC Discovery spans multiple streams: 

• Functional streams and business architecture: Mapping processes across manufacturing, logistics, inventory, and quality. 

• Architectural enablers: Covering ERP, data architecture, observability, security, and automation. 

The Technical Architect oversees all the Functional streams related to Logistics and Global Trade management. 

Historically Logistics and Distribution as well as Global Trade was not part of the Supply Chain function. As the customer domain and the Supply Chain domain are getting merged closer to each other, there is a need to have someone skilled and experience with architecture used for logistics reporting, and logistics integration (WMS, TMS, third party logistics) to oversee this space.  

• Architecture Design: Develop end-to-end solution architectures for logistics systems, ensuring integration with enterprise platforms and compliance with standards. 

• Capability Enablement: Leverage advanced capabilities such as: Data Integration & Analytics: Enable real-time visibility and predictive insights across supply chain operations. Automation & Workflow Optimisation: Implement automation frameworks to streamline logistics processes. Cloud & API Strategy: Design cloud-native solutions and API-driven integrations for scalability and interoperability. 

• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with business leaders, product teams, and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into architectural blueprints. 

• Governance & Compliance: Ensure adherence to security, privacy, and regulatory requirements within logistics operations. 

• Innovation Leadership: Drive adoption of emerging technologies (AI/ML, IoT) to optimise logistics performance. 

Let’s talk about Responsibilities. 

• Be Proactive Self-starter, solution-oriented who can manage own tasks & time. 

• Be customer-centric, data-driven, quality-focused, collaborative & have a positive attitude. 

• Drive integration strategy using Oracle Integration Cloud, API-first design, and event-driven architecture. 

• Establish supply chain observability and visibility standards, including dashboards, automated alerts, and continuity plans and integrate third party transportation monitoring. 

• Consider supply chain security and compliance for all integrations and SaaS platforms (RBAC, encryption, audit, CSV validation) 

• Global Trade Management: Design solutions that support compliance with international trade regulations, customs processes, and cross-border logistics. 

• Collaborate with Domain Solution Architects, Business analysts and business stakeholders to identify the requirements, define project scope and design software solutions. 

• Work together with MES developers (.net) and understand custom developed architecture at Resmed 

• Have regular conversations with other tech teams and platforms across ResMed on tech stack standardisations and extensions. 

• Stay connected to state-of-the-art developments, latest trends, and design innovative apps for Supply Chain domain. 

• Understand boundaries, strengths, and weaknesses of as-is application(s) landscape <
