Job summary

Uniphar Group in Dublin (Citywest) and London is seeking a Senior Solution Architect to own the architecture of Dynamics 365 Business Central across the Medtech division, guiding end-to-end design as the ERP platform scales for growth and acquisitions.

You will balance performance, security, and integration within a regulated medical device environment, partnering with business teams and external partners in an Agile, product-based delivery model to drive architectural decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end architecture of Dynamics 365 Business Central as the ERP platform for Uniphar's Medtech division, from target state through to delivered design.
• Define and maintain the target architecture, design principles and standards that govern how Business Central is configured, extended and integrated.
• Act as the design authority for the ERP platform, making the key design decisions and reviewing and approving solution designs to ensure architectural integrity.
• Own the technical debt agenda, moving the platform away from customisation-heavy patterns towards supportable, upgrade-safe design.
• Balance business need, cost, time-to-value and long-term maintainability in every architectural decision.
• Operate comfortably at both altitudes: setting enterprise-level direction one day and getting into the detail of a posting routine, page extension or permission set the next.
• Review, robustly challenge and approve solution designs produced by implementation partners, ISVs and third-party developers, rather than accepting them at face value.
• Hold vendors to account on design quality, cost, effort estimates and supportability, ensuring proposed solutions are proportionate, upgrade-safe and genuinely fit for Uniphar's needs.
• Ensure partner-delivered work meets Uniphar architecture, security, ALM and coding standards before it is accepted into the estate.
• Build open, constructive relationships with partners while retaining design authority and architectural ownership in-house.
• Get close to how the business actually operates, spending time with finance, supply chain, warehouse and commercial teams to understand their processes and pain points.
• Proactively uncover opportunities where Business Central and the wider Microsoft stack can remove manual effort, reduce cost, improve control or unlock new capability.
• Translate those opportunities into practical, well-sized proposals with a clear articulation of the value, effort and risk involved.
• Challenge stated requirements to get to the underlying business need, and steer the business away from solutions that create long-term cost or complexity.
• Own the solution design across the core ERP process areas: finance, purchasing, inventory and warehouse management, distribution and order‑to‑cash.
• Ensure
