Job Details
Our team members are at the heart of everything we do. At World Courier (a Cencora company), we are united in our responsibility to create healthier futures, and every person here is essential to us being able to deliver on that purpose.
This role will sit within the Global Data and Technology Solutions (GDATS) organization in World Courier and is a key member of the Architecture & Analysis team. We’re re-imagining IT — not as a support function, but as a strategic partner to the World Courier business.
We exist to help the organisation rise, adapt, and grow, using technology that is innovative, integrated, reliable, secure and designed around real operational needs.
Why this role matters
World Courier operates in a complex, time-critical, highly regulated environment where every shipment can represent life-saving therapy. This role ensures that technology architecture enables precision, reliability, and trust by connecting order capture, planning, execution, visibility, and financial processes into a cohesive system.
Architecture decisions can directly impact operational performance, compliance, and customer trust — making this role central to delivering safe, efficient, high-touch logistics services globally.
What You’ll Do
-
Design end-to-end solutions across the logistics order-to-cash lifecycle
- Deliver architecture across order capture, planning, execution, and financial processes
- Design integration across ERP, portals, Salesforce, TMS, route planning, inventory, monitoring, and driver/vehicle systems
- Define API-first architecture across internal and external platforms
- Design event-driven systems for real-time orchestration and tracking
- Ensure timely, accurate, and trusted data across systems
-
End-to-end platform and integration architecture
- Design how multiple platforms operate as a cohesive ecosystem
- Define integration patterns across systems using APIs and events
- Support cloud migration and cloud-first architecture decisions, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and aligned to enterprise standards.
- Enable interoperability with vendors and third party tools
- Maintain a holistic architecture view across domains

Delivery enablement
- Partner with engineering and delivery teams
- Provide guidance that enables progress without over-engineering
- Support investment and prioritization decisions, including trade-offs, as appropriate
- Upholding best-practice in architecture methods and standards
- Define solution artifacts and architecture documentation that are connected through AI to code and the delivery pipeline, and that can evolve iteratively with each release
- Contribute to reusable patterns and enterprise standards, while knowing when and how to make a clear case for challenging them appropriately when they are not suitable for the business use case
-
AI-enabled architecture methods
- Use AI tools and agents to support architecture design, analysis, and documentation
- Apply AI to model integrations, dependencies, and solution options
- Work effectively alongside architecture AI agents to accelerate design thinking, explore options, and strengthen solution quality
What We’re Looking For
Solutions delivered are API-first, highly integrated, and event-driven, ensuring real-time data flow, interoperability, and resilience.
You’ll Thrive In Our Team If You
- Focus on outcomes over outputs
- Work well in ambiguity
- Communicate clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
Experience That Will Help You Succeed

- Familiarity with architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF)
- Experience creating clear architecture artifacts using structured modelling approaches, such as C4
What Success Looks Like In This Role
- Architecture aligns to business and operational needs
- Systems provide reliable, real-time visibility
- Architecture enables, not blocks delivery
- The design phase becomes faster and more effective, enabling confident decisions and smoother progression into delivery
- Strong trust between business and IT architecture
