Solution Architect – Finance 

Enterprise Transformation Program

We're partnering with a large enterprise organisation undertaking a significant transformation of its Finance and People landscape.

This program is focused on simplifying and modernising a complex environment of legacy Finance, HR and Corporate Services systems, consolidating multiple platforms, processes and integrations into a new enterprise ERP and HRIS ecosystem.

As the Solution Architect, you'll play a critical role in shaping the future-state architecture, designing end-to-end solutions and guiding the organisation through the transition from a fragmented legacy environment to a modern, integrated platform.

This is a highly business-facing role requiring close partnership with Finance, People & Culture, Payroll, Procurement and Corporate Services stakeholders, alongside system integrators and delivery teams.
The Opportunity The organisation currently operates a number of legacy and disparate Finance, Payroll, HR and Corporate Services applications that have evolved over time.

This transformation will establish a modern ERP and HRIS platform, standardise business processes, simplify integrations, improve reporting and data quality, and create a scalable foundation for future growth.

You'll be responsible for ensuring the solution architecture supports both immediate program outcomes and long-term business objectives.
