Role Summary
As the Solution Architect you support the evolution of LSEG’s People Technology landscape by defining and delivering scalable, data-driven architecture aligned to a product‑led operating model. You will focus on establishing a service-layer architecture that enables reusable People capabilities, improves integration across platforms, and strengthens the use of People data for operational and strategic outcomes. As the architect you will work across Workday and the wider enterprise ecosystem to ensure solutions are aligned to standards, reduce complexity, and enable AI and workforce intelligence use cases.
What you’ll be doing
- Define and design end-to-end solution architectures for People products and services aligned to enterprise standards
- Establish and evolve Integration and communication patterns (APIs, workflows, event-driven integration) to enable reusable capabilities across value streams
- Define and maintain People data models, including data flows, ownership, and integration across systems (e.g. Workday, ServiceNow, Finance platforms)
- Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable solution designs, covering functional and non-functional needs
- Provide clear solution views and architecture artefacts to support stakeholder understanding and decision-making
- Align architecture decisions to product lifecycle, value streams, and platform strategy
- Support vendor and solution evaluation across SaaS, PaaS, and enterprise platforms
- Ensure solutions meet enterprise architecture, security, and compliance standards
- Define and enforce integration patterns, reducing point-to-point dependencies and improving data consistency
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and data teams to ensure consistent implementation of architectural designs
- Support design reviews, governance forums, and architecture assurance processes
- Identify opportunities to simplify the technology estate, improve reuse, and reduce total cost of ownership
- Contribute to enabling AI and data-driven use cases, ensuring solutions are built on high-quality, accessible data
- Work closely with business and functional stakeholders to develop a clear understanding of problem statements, options, and trade-offs
What you’ll bring
- Experience designing solution architectures across complex enterprise environments
- Strong understanding of service-oriented architecture, APIs, and event-driven integration patterns
- Experience in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid environments
- Strong understanding of data architecture and data modelling, including data capture, integration, and reporting
- Experience integrating enterprise SaaS platforms (e.g. Workday, ServiceNow, ERP systems)
- Knowledge of People / HR domains and data structures (e.g. worker, job, organisation, workforce processes)
- Experience delivering data-driven or analytics-enabled solutions in regulated environments (e.g. financial services)
- Ability to design solutions connecting multiple process domains (HR, Finance, Risk, Information Security)
- Strong understanding of architecture standards, governance, and delivery frameworks
- Experience working across different solution models (SaaS, PaaS, managed services)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to apply practical solutions to complex problems
- Ability to operate independently and support multiple workstreams
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
- Experience collaborating across business, engineering, and operations teams
What this role delivers
- Improved reuse and scalability of People technology capabilities
- Reduced integration complexity and platform dependency
- Stronger People data foundations for reporting, analytics, and AI
- Alignment to a product-led, service-oriented operating model
- Measurable contribution to cost reduction and estate simplification
