The role will provide architectural governance across the SuccessFactors landscape, strengthen the existing run capability and act as the senior escalation point for complex solution, integration and service issues.

The Solution Architect will augment, rather than replace, the existing ADM team, providing architectural oversight and senior SME expertise where issues or changes require deeper product knowledge, cross-solution understanding, design assurance or strategic engagement with NATS.

The role will help strengthen SAP capability within the service, improve solution quality and supportability, address recurring issues and technical debt, and provide NATS with access to senior SuccessFactors expertise for both immediate service needs and longer-term platform evolution.

• Ability to operate across multiple SuccessFactors functional areas and understand cross‑module dependencies without needing to be the configuration specialist for every module.
• Proven experience supporting complex live SuccessFactors environments, including production issue diagnosis, problem management, architectural remediation and service improvement.
• Strong understanding of SuccessFactors integration patterns, APIs, SAP Integration Suite / CPI and integration with SAP ERP / S/4HANA and third‑party platforms.
• Experience developing and reviewing solution architectures, design principles, roadmaps and architectural recommendations.
• Experience of SuccessFactors release management and assessing the impact of SAP's release lifecycle on enterprise solutions.
• Strong understanding of security, roles, data, integration and non‑functional considerations across SuccessFactors.
• Experience supporting enterprise‑scale and/or global SuccessFactors estates.
• Ability to work effectively across application management, project/change, architecture and technical teams.

• Previous SAP AMS / ADM or comparable live‑service experience.
• Experience with SAP BTP and SAP Integration Suite.
• Understanding of SAP Business AI and evolving AI capabilities across the SuccessFactors/HXM portfolio.
• Experience providing design assurance, architecture governance or independent architecture review.
