Sr Odoo Consultant, Solution Architect

About the role

Founded in May 2021, Advance Insight is an internationally recognised Odoo Gold Partner, having been awarded Best Odoo Implementation Partner in Africa in 2023, 2024, and 2025. We support ambitious African enterprises with their digital transformation - designing and delivering high-quality Odoo solutions across a wide range of sectors in 30 countries. Our team of functional consultants and engineers operates from Kenya and the Netherlands. We maintain a growing portfolio of 25+ proprietary Odoo modules. Our implementations are typically multientity, multi-currency, and complexity-heavy - with a strong emphasis on custom-developed workflows and deep integrations with third-party systems. As our project portfolio grows in complexity, we need someone who can operate as our primary solution architecture resource. This is not a generalist implementation role. It is a specialist architecture role. You will primarily work embedded across our colleagues' projects, bringing senior solution design expertise at the moments that matter most. On a smaller number of engagements, you will lead full implementations independently. While Odoo is our primary platform, this role prioritises solution design, ERP architecture, and custom integration expertise. Candidates with backgrounds spanning multiple ERPs (Odoo, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) and strong financial expertise have a clear advantage.

Responsibilities

• You are the bridge between our clients, lead consultants, and engineers. Your job is to understand what a client's business actually does - at the operational and system layer - and to design ERP solutions that reflect that reality clearly enough for engineers to build without guesswork.
• Solution Architecture & Design
• Own the end-to-end design of complex ERP solutions: module scope, process flows, data structures, custom-developed workflows, third-party integrations, and reporting frameworks.
• Lead discovery and requirements-gathering sessions - asking the right questions to surface unstated needs, edge cases, and hidden complexity before any build begins.
• Produce clear, decision-ready solution blueprints and gap analyses that serve both clients and internal delivery teams.
• Make confident recommendations on build vs. configure trade-offs, balancing client needs with long-term maintainability and scalability.
• Define functional requirements for custom modules and integrations with precision - specifying API-level behaviour and integration flows in terms that software engineers can act on directly.
• Review and challenge solution designs on colleagues' projects - acting as a critical internal sounding board before commitments are made to clients.
• Client-Engineering Interface
• Serve as the authoritative functional link between clients, lead consultants and engineers, engaging clients through the lens of architecture and long-term solution fit.
• Translate complex, often loosely defined client requirements into precise, unambiguous functional specifications.
• Review and validate technical deliverables against functional requirements - catching misalignments before they reach the client.
• Ensure engineers fully understand the business context behind what they are building, not just the technical specification.
• Facilitate structured handoffs between discovery, design, development, and testing phases.
• Project Delivery (Occasional)
• On selected engagements, take end-to-end ownership of the implementation lifecycle: scoping, configuration, testing, training, go-live, and hypercare.
• Coordinate with consultants and engineers, manage client expectations, and maintain project momentum within the agreed scope and budget.
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and end-user training, ensuring the client's team is genuinely enabled - not just signed off.
• Maintain clear, structured project documentation throughout, following our implementation methodology religiously.
• Practice & Product Development
• Contribute to Advance Insight's scalable product development - translating repeatable client needs into reusable solution components, standardised modules, or productised offerings that reduce delivery time and increase consistency across engagements.
• Mentor junior and mid-level consultants on solution design rigour and technical specification quality.
• Contribute to internal solution templates, integration standards, and delivery frameworks.
• Support presales on technically complex opportunities: workshops, solution demos, and scoping proposals.
• Stay current with Odoo releases, platform developments, and broader ERP and integration trends.
