Portal Solutions Architect | Remote

job summary:

The Portal Solutions Architect is a highly visible, cross-functional leader who shapes how our customers experience our digital platforms. This role owns the end-to-end architecture and delivery of secure, scalable, customer-facing web portals that support enterprise reverse logistics - translating complex business and customer needs into elegant, durable technical solutions.

Success in this role depends as much on communication, influence, and collaboration as on technical depth. The Architect serves as the connective tissue between business leaders, product owners, operations teams, and internal and external developers - bringing clarity, alignment, and momentum to highly complex initiatives. These individual builds trust across diverse stakeholders, navigates competing priorities, and ensures solutions meet demanding customer expectations without sacrificing long-term scalability or system integrity.

Acting as both a strategic partner and hands-on technical leader, the Architect sets architectural direction, establishes strong design patterns, and steps in when complexity or risk demands it. The ultimate measure of success is not just what gets built, but how effectively teams are enabled to deliver independently through strong communication, clear standards, and thoughtful guardrails that scale with the organization.

Are you a collaborative architect who thrives at the intersection of business, technology, and customer experience-someone who brings clarity to complexity and enables teams to deliver their best work? If so, this role offers the opportunity to shape meaningful solutions and make a visible impact across the organization.
