About the role

As a key member of the Solution Assurance team, the Principal Architect understands our customers’ most pressing business challenges and drives their success by addressing complex supply chain management challenges through Kinaxis Maestro deployments. This role partners closely with customers and system integrators on partner-led Maestro deployments, leveraging deep Maestro expertise, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled tools to guide solution design, proactively mitigate risk, and accelerate value realization. The Principal Architect applies data-driven decision frameworks and predictive insights to anticipate delivery risks, influence outcomes early, and ensure scalable, best-practice solutions that drive measurable business impact.

What you will do

  • Lead solution assurance engagements with customers and partners, shaping and validating supply chain software requirements using a structured, data-driven approach.
  • Leverage AI and advanced analytics to accelerate solution validation and quality reviews; proactively identify delivery risks; drive efficiency across analysis, documentation and solution design; and establish scalable best practices across deployments.
  • Proactively analyze deployment health signals (data quality, configuration complexity, integration patterns, partner execution trends) to identify risks early and recommend corrective action before impact is realized.
  • Serve as a supply chain and Maestro thought leader, articulating the value of Kinaxis’ solutions across the customer lifecycle and reinforcing data-backed business outcomes.
  • Evaluate overall systems architecture, data models, and process flows to ensure solutions are architecturally sound, data-governed, scalable across geographies and business units while aligned to best practices and measurable KPIs.
  • Review and challenge complex data, analytics, and configuration designs to ensure outputs are reliable, interpretable, and aligned to business intent.
  • Provide risk-informed recommendations grounded in quantitative analysis and deployment metrics to mitigate solution, integration, and adoption risks.
  • Lead proactive and critical escalations using structured problem-solving frameworks and evidence-based insights to resolve complex supply chain challenges.
  • Present executive-level insights and recommendations by synthesizing technical, operational, and risk data into clear, actionable narratives.

What we are looking for

 

Work With Impact: Our platform directly helps companies power the world’s supply chains. We see the results of what we do out in the world every day—when we see store shelves stocked, when medications are available for our loved ones, and so much more. 

 

Work with Fortune 500 Brands: Companies across industries trust us to help them take control of their integrated business planning and digital supply chain. Some of our customers include Ford, Unilever, Yamaha, P&G, Lockheed-Martin, and more. 

 

Social Responsibility at Kinaxis: Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee weighs in on hiring practices, talent assessment training materials, and mandatory training on unconscious bias and inclusion fundamentals. Sustainability is key to what we do and we’re committed to net-zero operations strategy for the long term. We are involved in our communities and support causes where we can make the most impact.

People matter at Kinaxis and these are some of the perks and benefits we created for our team:

 

  • Flexible vacation and Kinaxis Days (company-wide day off on the last Friday of every month)
  • Flexible work options
  • Physical and mental well-being programs
  • Regularly scheduled virtual fitness classes
  • Mentorship programs and training and career development
  • Recognition programs and referral rewards
  • Hackathons
