- Experience leading large-scale Workday implementations and integration activities across HR ecosystem.
- Workday certifications in Core HCM or related modules are highly desirable.
- Oil and Gas industry experience is a plus.
Skills
- Agile Methodology: Agile management is an iterative approach to delivering a project throughout its life cycle, taking incremental steps towards project the completion of a project.
- Analytical Thinking: Strong problem-solving skills to identify architectural challenges, analyze requirements, evaluate options, and propose effective solutions.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. AI encompasses a broad range of techniques and approaches, including machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and expert systems, among others. The ultimate goal of AI is to create machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, making decisions, and solving problems.
- Authentic Communicator: Expresses ideas and information, both verbally and in writing, clearly and credibly. Listens to understand and fosters constructive dialogue.
- Big Data Analytics: Knowledge of data analytics frameworks and technologies, such as data lakes, data warehouses, and machine learning, to design architectures that effectively handle large volumes of data and enable advanced analytics.

- Internet of Things (IoT): Familiarity with IoT concepts and protocols, as well as experience designing architectures that incorporate IoT devices and enable seamless connectivity and data exchange.
- Machine Learning: Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer science that involves the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to progressively improve their performance on a specific task through learning from data, without being explicitly programmed. In essence, machine learning algorithms learn from patterns and relationships in data to make predictions, decisions, or identify patterns, often with the goal of optimizing some objective function or improving performance over time.
- Process Orchestration: Process orchestration refers to the coordination and management of various tasks, activities, and resources within a workflow or business process. It involves organizing, sequencing, and automating individual tasks or sub-processes to ensure that the overall process operates smoothly and efficiently. Process orchestration typically involves integrating disparate systems, applications, and services to streamline operations and improve collaboration across different parts of an organization. It often employs workflow management tools, automation software, and integration platforms to facilitate communication, data exchange, and decision-making among different components of the process. The goal of process orchestration is to optimize the flow of work, minimize delays and bottlenecks, and enhance overall productivity and performance.
- Solution Architecture: Solution architecture is the process of designing and describing the structure and behavior of a comprehensive solution to meet specific business needs. It involves integrating various components, technologies, and processes to create a coherent and efficient system that addresses the identified challenges or requirements.
- Strategic Outlook: Examines issues, generates ideas, creates future scenarios and develops plans with a long-term perspective. Ensures short-term goals support long-term strategy and that organizational/functional strategy aligns with and supports MPC’s overall business strategy.

Search Cloud Solutions Architect Jobs in OhioCloud Solutions Architect Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in Ohio sponsor visas for cloud solutions architects?
Large Ohio-based employers with established visa sponsorship programs include Nationwide Insurance, KeyBank, Huntington Bancshares, and Kroger Technology in Cincinnati. Healthcare systems like Cleveland Clinic and OhioHealth also hire cloud architects and have sponsored H-1B petitions historically. National technology consulting firms and cloud integrators operating in Ohio, such as Accenture and Deloitte, also regularly file sponsorship petitions for this role.
Which visa types are most common for cloud solutions architect roles in Ohio?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for cloud solutions architects in Ohio, as the role consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. Professionals from Canada or Mexico may also qualify under the TN visa. Those with an existing L-1B visa through a multinational employer can transfer within their company without entering the H-1B lottery.
Which cities in Ohio have the most cloud solutions architect sponsorship jobs?
Columbus accounts for the largest share of cloud solutions architect roles in Ohio, driven by its concentration of insurance, financial services, and state government technology contracts. Cleveland is a strong second, with demand coming from banking institutions and healthcare technology operations. Cincinnati has a notable presence through Kroger Technology and regional financial firms. Dayton occasionally surfaces opportunities tied to defense and logistics technology contractors.
How to find cloud solutions architect visa sponsorship jobs in Ohio?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to search cloud solutions architect roles in Ohio without wading through positions that don't offer sponsorship. You can filter by state and role to surface active openings from employers who have demonstrated a willingness to sponsor. This saves significant time compared to manually screening general job listings for sponsorship eligibility.
Are there any Ohio-specific considerations for cloud solutions architects seeking visa sponsorship?
Ohio employers filing H-1B petitions must pay the Department of Labor's prevailing wage for cloud solutions architect roles in the specific metropolitan area where the work is performed, which differs between Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. Ohio State University and Case Western Reserve University produce a steady pipeline of international graduates in computer science and engineering, which means some Ohio employers are experienced with F-1 OPT transitions leading into full H-1B sponsorship. Healthcare and financial services dominate sponsorship activity in this state.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored cloud solutions architect jobs in Ohio?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
