The Opportunity

Help customers understand how technology affects their bottom line

This role weaves together three challenges:

1. Delve into the technical bottlenecks facing customers
2. Understand on an acutely technical and macro-operational level how OpenText’s product solves those problems
3. Translate that understanding into the language of business

As part consultant, part architect and part thought leader (see Duties below), you’ll champion strategic, design and functional discussions on a massive scale to both internal and external executives. It’s both high-level thinking and hands-on work.

You’ll keep one eye on your projects and the other on the bigger picture – anticipating where Enterprise Architecture, ECM and the other domains under your jurisdiction are headed. Then you’ll put that vision in front your report: OpenText’s VP of R&D.

This role is an opportunity to see just how good you are, masterminding and leading global solutions that start as high-level handshakes and shake out to right down to technical brass tacks. Your tech acumen and gift for dialogue will not only make the pieces fit, they’ll help frame and sell the puzzle.

It’s a crucial role with a multifacted mandate at a billion-dollar company.

Duties

• Tactical and Strategic Consulting (Enterprise Architecture development, Technology Management consulting, implementation consulting, and peer review of proposed architectures and frameworks)

• Leads the development of, and reviews architectures/frameworks of complex, high-risk engagements.

• Develops and implements agreed technical strategies and business plans according to best practices and methods.

Who Should Apply

Applicants must have demonstrable hands-on understanding of enterprise architectures and in-depth delivery experience in leadership positions, plus the ability to write, articulate and present with confidence and credibility.

• Masters or advanced degree preferably related to Information Technology, or Bachelors degree coupled with demonstrated equivalent experience.
• Solid understanding of how IT componentry works together (in global, disparate n-tier server based architectures) and how to leverage same to your advantage during functional design in competitive scenarios.
• Hands-on experience with Lotus Notes (Administration/Development) or MS Exchange is a plus for consideration.
• Hands-on experience with UNIX, Windows 2000/2003 is REQUIRED, Active Directory, LDAP, Terminal Server, Citrix Meta-Frame Presentation Server and VMware experience is a plus.
