 * Familiarity with Terraform, CI/CD and GitOps practices.
 * Understanding of data architecture, including relational and NoSQL databases, data modelling and enterprise system integrations.
 * Comfortable creating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), leading design reviews and clearly communicating technical decisions.

 * Experience working with enterprise Finance, Procurement or HR platforms and processes.

## Description

* Shape new initiatives from the outset, turning business challenges into clear, practical and buildable solution designs.
 * Explore technical options, recommend the best approach and clearly articulate trade-offs, risks and dependencies.
 * Own solution architecture artefacts, including solution designs, integration diagrams, data flows and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
 * Design for security, identity, data protection, resilience, observability and cost from day one.
 * Define integration patterns and API contracts across complex technology estates, including ERP and HR platforms.
 * Work closely with Product, Engineering, Platform, Security and GRC teams to ensure solutions are ready for delivery.
 * Stay involved throughout the build, protecting design integrity while adapting the architecture as requirements evolve.
