Kinaxis Solution Architect

As a Kinaxis Maestro Solution Architect, you combine deep hands on expertise with strong delivery leadership. You take ownership of the end to end solution design and stay closely involved throughout execution. Your goal is to build resilient, scalable planning solutions that create real business impact for our clients.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the architecture and implementation of Kinaxis Maestro across planning domains (demand, supply, S&OP / IBP, scenario analysis).

• Business and process challenges into robust Maestro designs - including data models, logic, workbooks, and KPI frameworks.

• Make architecture decisions grounded in real use cases, best practices, and performance considerations.

• Stay hands on in model design and build, contributing to configuration, advanced worksheets, and scenario logic.

• Act as the technical and functional reference for both delivery teams and client stakeholders.

• Facilitate deep dive design workshops with planners, process owners, and IT leaders.

• Coach consultants on Maestro design patterns, architecture trade-offs, and build quality.

• Support presales with architectural input, feasibility assessments, and effort estimations.

• This is not a coordination only role. You lead the design and help bring it to life.
