The opportunity

EY's global Enterprise Technology group provides enabling services across enterprise platforms, infrastructure, digital workplace and service operations. The Solution Architect & Product Owner is a pivotal role within Unified Support Services, accountable for the end-to-end solution architecture, integration strategy, product roadmap and delivery of Support Experience platforms.

The role serves as the architectural authority for the Support Experience technology ecosystem. The individual will design, govern and enable integrated solutions across ServiceNow, Genesys Cloud, LogMeIn Rescue, Qualtrics, Nexthink, Microsoft Copilot, knowledge platforms, automation solutions and other Service Desk technologies. The role requires deep ServiceNow architecture expertise, strong systems integration capability and sufficient product ownership experience to translate business priorities into a coherent architecture and executable roadmap.

The successful candidate will bring together business, product, architecture, engineering, security, operations and vendor teams to deliver scalable, secure, resilient and user-centered support solutions from concept through implementation and operational adoption.

Your key responsibilities

• Act as the lead Solution Architect and design authority for the Unified Support Services Support Experience ecosystem.
• Define current-state, target-state and transition architectures for Support Experience platforms, including the supporting technology roadmap.
• Own end-to-end solution design across user channels, workflows, integrations, data, knowledge, automation, AI capabilities and operational processes.
• Provide architectural leadership across ServiceNow ITSM, r, Virtual Agent, Service Catalog, Knowledge Management, CMDB, IntegrationHub and Flow Designer.
• Design scalable ServiceNow solutions, data models, workflows and platform extensions while protecting platform integrity, maintainability and upgradeability.
• Own the end-to-end integration strategy across ServiceNow, Genesys Cloud, LogMeIn Rescue, Qualtrics, Nexthink, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, identity services, enterprise knowledge and automation platforms.
• Define API-led, event-driven, workflow-based and middleware integration patterns, including authentication, authorization, error handling, monitoring, data synchronization and recovery.
• Enable continuity of identity, conversation, intent, device context, case context and interaction history across chatbot, live chat, voice, portal, remote support and assisted-service channels.
• Lead the Genesys integration roadmap with ITSM and digital channels to support intelligent routing and escalation between virtual, digital and voice channels without avoidable loss of context.
• Architect secure integration with LogMeIn Rescue, including remote-session launch, user and case context, technician workflow, audit information and case updates.
• Architect the use of Nexthink telemetry and automation capabilities to support proactive issue identification, contextual diagnostics and remediation workflows.
• Integrate Qualtrics experience data with support platforms to enable feedback capture, experience analysis and closed-loop service improvement.
• Define knowledge integration and orchestration across ServiceNow Knowledge, OEM knowledge sources, internal runbooks and enterprise repositories.
• Define architecture patterns and governance controls for virtual agents, Copilot experiences, agent-assist capabilities, enterprise search and AI-enabled support.
• Establish architecture principles, reference architectures, reusable patterns, technical guardrails, interface standards and non-functional requirements.
• Lead solution architecture reviews and ensure alignment with Enterprise Architecture, information security, privacy, data governance, compliance and resilience requirements.
• Provide technical leadership to engineering teams, platform teams, vendors and implementation partners throughout design, build, testing, deployment and transition to operations.
• Review solution designs, integration specifications, data mappings, user stories, test strategies, release plans and production-readiness evidence.
• Own technical risks, dependencies, architecture decisions, exceptions and technical debt, ensuring timely resolution and transparent escalation.
• Define and communicate the product vision, platform strategy, value proposition and roadmap for Support Experience platforms.
• Own and prioritize the product backlog based on business value, architectural dependencies, operational impact, risk and user experience outcomes.
• Translate business objectives and architecture into epics, capabilities, features, non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria and release plans.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives, while providing architecture direction and timely decisions.
• Define and monitor measures for platform adoption, reliability, integration performance, self-service, automation, experience and value realization.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to senior leaders and communicate architecture options, trade-offs, recommendations, risks and roadmap implications clearly.
