About the role

As an Enterprise Solution Architect focused on Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), you will lead the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of Corning’s CLM ecosystem. You will work closely with business and technology teams to create seamless, secure, and scalable solutions across the full contract lifecycle—from request and authoring to approval, signature, renewals, and reporting. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical architecture expertise with business partnership, platform leadership, and a passion for driving adoption and operational excellence.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end CLM solution architecture across the full contract lifecycle: intake, authoring, negotiation, approval workflows, e-signature, obligation management, renewals, and reporting.
• Define and enforce architectural standards anchored in a "configure, not customize" philosophy to ensure future scalability.
• Design and own integration architecture across CLM, ERP, sourcing, identity/SSO, e-signature (Docusign), and downstream reporting systems.
• Partner with Legal, Procurement, Sales, Finance, and IT to translate legal and business requirements into scalable, auditable technical designs.
• Lead the data and metadata strategy that powers reliable reporting and analytics, accounting for global data residency and regulatory requirements.
• Deliver the near-term roadmap: NDA and Contract Request MVP, NDA migration from Ariba to Icertis, SSO and Docusign integrations, and harmonization of sell-side templates.
• Govern a high-quality migration of ~30,000 legacy contracts, including validation and reconciliation, and steer the transition from implementation to steady-state operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 5+ years of IT experience, including at least 3 years in solution architecture roles.
• Hands-on experience implementing and supporting enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms.
• Strong knowledge of SaaS solution architecture with a configuration-first mindset.
• Experience integrating enterprise applications such as ERP, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, e-signature, or identity platforms.
• Experience working in regulated or change-controlled environments with strong attention to security, auditability, and compliance.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
