Solution Architect

Produce implementable solution designs covering functional and non‑functional requirements including security, resilience, scalability, performance, maintainability and operability.

Translate business requirements into clear solution architecture artefacts (logical designs, integration diagrams, data flows, deployment and operational views).

Ensure designs support end‑to‑end outcomes across corporate functions, not siloed system implementations.

Work within the platform and target architecture direction set by the Corporate Functions Domain Architect, ensuring solutions align to the strategic platform landscape and avoid unnecessary customisation.

Partner with platform/product owners and SMEs (e.g., HCM, procurement, legal systems) to design solutions that balance standardisation with necessary extensions.

Ensure Corporate Functions solutions that touch Finance processes integrate cleanly with ERP/SAP capabilities and do not introduce duplication or reconciliation risk.

Support end‑to‑end process integrity (e.g., procure‑to‑pay, hire‑to‑retire, contract‑to‑cash impacts) by aligning solution designs with enterprise process architecture.

Design integrations and data flows across corporate platforms and enterprise domains (e.g., HR ↔ Finance, Procurement ↔ AP, Legal ↔ accruals/controls), aligned to agreed patterns and standards.

Define APIs, middleware patterns and data models that enable secure, reliable, auditable information flows and minimise point‑to‑point complexity.

Embed security and privacy requirements from the outset, aligned to Haleon standards and regulatory expectations (e.g., SOX/GDPR where applicable).

Ensure solution designs support control operation, auditability and operational resilience (including clear operational ownership, monitoring and recovery considerations).

Provide implementation governance to delivery teams: architecture reviews, design sign‑off inputs, build alignment checks, and guidance to resolve architectural blockers during delivery.

Document architecture decisions, trade‑offs and risks clearly, escalating systemic concerns to the Corporate Functions Domain Architect.

Drive reuse of reference patterns, shared services and integration standards across corporate functions solutions to reduce bespoke build and improve maintainability.

Identify duplication or tool sprawl and recommend simplified solution approaches aligned to strategic platforms and enterprise direction.

Act as a bridge between Product, Engineering, Data, Security, and Delivery stakeholders, ensuring architecture is understood and implemented consistently.

Contribute to architecture communities of practice, improving patterns, templates and standards and sharing learnings across teams.

Delivery teams have clear, implementable solution designs and build with speed and confidence.

Solutions align to corporate functions target architecture and avoid unnecessary customisation or duplication.

Security, privacy, control operation and resilience are embedded by design, not retrofitted.

Integration and data flows support end‑to‑end processes without manual workarounds or reconciliation risk.

Architectural risks and technical debt are surfaced early with clear remediation recommendations.

Demonstrated experience as a Solution Architect in Digital/Technology environments, with hands‑on system design capability.

Proven ability to translate business requirements into implementable solution architectures and guide delivery teams through implementation governance.

Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, APIs, and data flows.

Experience embedding security, privacy, compliance and operational controls into solution designs.

Experience architecting solutions in one or more corporate functions domains (Finance/HR/Procurement/Legal/Corporate Affairs).

Experience working in environments aligned to strategic enterprise platforms and standards‑first approaches.

Experience operating within architecture governance and standards models at scale.
