About the Role

The ideal candidate can dissect a client's operational challenges with the rigor of a business analyst, then architect the end-to-end technical solution that solves them.

• Lead business analysis and requirements gathering, translating operational workflows and pain points into clear functional and technical specifications
• Architect end-to-end ERP solutions — spanning data model, integrations, customizations, and infrastructure — that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with business goals
• Own the solution blueprint for engagements: module selection, customization strategy, integration design, and migration approach
• Evaluate trade-offs between out-of-the-box configuration, customization, and third-party integration, and make the call on the right approach
• Define and document technical architecture standards, data flows, and system design across projects

• Serve as the technical authority on engagements, guiding developers and functional consultants on architectural decisions
• Review solution designs and code for architectural soundness, scalability, and adherence to best practices
• Act as the escalation point for complex technical and integration challenges on live projects
• Mentor developers and consultants on solution architecture principles and Odoo best practices
• Set and enforce standards for technical documentation and implementation methodology across projects

• Lead discovery workshops, process mapping, and stakeholder interviews across departments to uncover business requirements
• Present and defend solution architectures to client stakeholders, from department heads to C-level executives
• Bridge the conversation between business needs and technical feasibility — translating in both directions with equal fluency
• Support UAT, go-live, and post-launch stabilization from an architectural standpoint
• Identify opportunities for solution expansion and technical improvement within existing client accounts

• Design and oversee implementation of Odoo modules across Accounting, Inventory, Sales, CRM, HR, Manufacturing, and Project Management
• Architect custom Odoo modules, automations, and integrations using Python and the Odoo framework
• Design integration architecture between Odoo and third-party platforms via REST APIs and middleware
• Define data migration architecture: mapping, transformation, cleansing, and validation strategy
• Lead architecture reviews, technical handoffs, and design decisions for the development team
• Guide front-end customization approach using JavaScript, XML, and QWeb where needed

• 7–10 years of experience in the ERP industry, spanning business analysis, solutions architecture, and software development
• Proven track record architecting end-to-end ERP solutions — able to move fluently from business requirements to technical design
• Deep strength on both sides of ERP: able to lead a business analysis workshop with a CFO in the morning, and architect (or review) the technical solution implementing it in the afternoon
• Hands-on Odoo implementation experience across multiple modules and versions (v14 and above)
• Strong proficiency in Python and Odoo backend architecture; working knowledge of JavaScript/XML for front-end considerations
• Strong business process knowledge across at least two verticals — finance, supply chain, HR, or operations
• Excellent English communication skills with the ability to present architecture and technical trade-offs confidently to clients, executives, and technical teams
• Proven ability to lead technical discovery and architecture decisions independently, navigating ambiguity on live projects
• Self-directed, organized, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously

• Odoo Functional or Technical certification
• Strong knowledge of AI tools, workflow automation, and cloud integrations
• Background in a specific industry vertical such as distribution, manufacturing, retail, or professional services
• Prior experience delivering projects globally
