  • Maintain SOM architectural guardrails and align SOM with COM and EPC outputs.
  • Define orchestration logic for multi-product, multi-step journeys and ensure robust integration handling, including retries, fallout, and partial fulfilment.
  • Design integrations with billing, CRM, field services, scheduling, inventory, and partner systems.
  • Promote TMF Open APIs usage and ensure stable, versioned, and testable integration contracts.
  • Define canonical interaction patterns for orchestration, activation, assurance, and lifecycle events.
  • Guide SOM designers, BAs, architects, and vendors on TMF-standard modelling.
  • Review LLDs, solution designs, test plans, and build outputs for alignment.
  • Champion TMF ODA and Open API principles, translating complex concepts into actionable guidance for delivery teams.
  • Ensure SOM designs align with enterprise-wide principles, domain strategy, and target state.
  • Represent SOM architecture at DA forums, presenting options, trade-offs, and recommendations.
  • Strengthen delivery processes through feedback, documentation, and best practices.

Key Skills / Knowledge

  • Strong experience designing and implementing solutions using TM Forum Open APIs, with a deep understanding of ODA and Open API frameworks.
  • Proficiency in RESTful API design, JSON, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, microservices architecture, and cloud-native deployment models (Docker, Kubernetes, public/hybrid cloud platforms).
  • Excellent communication, analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills; ability to lead discussions and build consensus across teams.
  • Utilities domain experience (Product, Customer, Service, Resource Management) is advantageous.
  • TM Forum ODA certification is desirable.

Experience Required

  • 15+ years of overall experience.
  • Minimum 8 years of relevant experience as a SOM Architect.

Person Specification

  • Client-facing with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
