  • Roadmaps, design artefacts and standards that guide enterprise-wide technology evolution
  • Cross-team collaboration, ensuring solutions integrate effectively across platforms
  • Stakeholder engagement at senior levels, helping the organisation make confident technology decisions
  • Risk identification, technology selection and architectural governance

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong enterprise and solution architecture background
  • Experience with ERP ecosystems (SAP or equivalent; S/4HANA exposure beneficial)
  • Ability to bridge strategic thinking with practical delivery
  • Excellent communication skills and credibility with senior stakeholders
  • Experience designing and documenting architectures, roadmaps and solution designs
  • Understanding of finance, HR or supply-chain processes
  • A collaborative approach, low ego and strong cultural fit

Why This Role?

You’ll be driving architectural direction for systems that touch every part of the organisation. The work is impactful, high-visibility and central to how internal capabilities evolve over the next several years. You’ll join a friendly, grounded architecture team that values openness, collaboration and pragmatism.
