Job Description

Mandate Overview:

• The client is looking for a second solution architect, at the same level as the current one, to absorb major initiatives and the modernization of an ecosystem combining legacy, on-premises and cloud.
• The role sits close to enterprise and business architecture: cross-system integration, reuse, corporate standards, non-functional requirements.
• The person proposes solutions, defends them before other architects and up to vice‑presidents, and approves those of others, beyond savings.
• They manage no one: they facilitate workshops, mobilize the systems architects and make decisions with them, based on their impact analyses.
• On technology, capability‑level knowledge of Azure, .NET and React is enough, and it may come from projects where these technologies were used; Salesforce and MuleSoft are assets. Finance or savings experience is not required on arrival.
• Candidate sought: A Solution architect with about 12 years of experience, used to reviews and approvals in a hybrid ecosystem, who designs cross‑system integration with standards and non‑functional requirements in mind.
• A unifying leader without a management role, they challenge and accept being challenged and learn new technologies quickly.

Requirements

Key Requirements:

• Solution design and governance (reviews, approvals, decision traceability)
• Cross‑system integration, corporate standards, functional and non‑functional requirements, reuse
• Capability‑level knowledge of Azure, .NET and React, project exposure is enough
• Hybrid ecosystem, legacy and cloud
• Leadership without people management: workshop facilitation, mobilization, ability to challenge
• Explaining complex concepts, negotiation and conflict resolution
• Architecture modeling framework or practice (C4 Model, TOGAF, Zachman or equivalent)
• High‑availability, high‑volume systems
• Appetite for AI applied to architecture (integration, documentation, diagrams)
• Salesforce (Experience Cloud, Data Cloud), designed as an integrated platform (not blocking, pilot not confirmed)
• MuleSoft (API Led Connectivity), asset classification to be confirmed
