We are looking for an experienced Solution Architect to join a large‑scale transformation programme within a financial and digital services environment. This role goes beyond traditional ERP or SAP architecture and focuses on designing scalable, enterprise‑wide solutions across financial systems, digital platforms, payment ecosystems, and service integrations.

- Support architecture governance, technical roadmaps, and solution standards
- Work across cloud, middleware, microservices, and enterprise integration layers
- Ensure solutions align with security, compliance, and operational requirements
- Participate in architecture reviews, stakeholder workshops, and delivery planning
Required Experience
- Proven experience as a Solution Architect within enterprise or financial services environments
- Strong background across integrations, digital platforms, APIs, and distributed systems
- Experience working with payment services, transaction systems, chip & pin/POS ecosystems, or retail financial platforms is highly desirable
- Broad knowledge across ERP ecosystems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, etc.) without being limited to a single technology
- Strong understanding of cloud technologies and modern integration patterns
- Ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
- Experience within large transformation or modernization programmes
Nice to Have
