• Apply business capability-based architecture to determine system fit, avoid duplication, and guide investment decisions.
• Lead the rationalisation of the HR integration landscape, reducing point-to-point complexity and improving reusability and resilience.

• Act as a trusted architecture authority on Workday and other HCM capabilities, constraints, and best fit use cases.
• Guide decisions on where to standardise vs. extend, and when not to customise.
• Serve as a key contributor to architecture governance forums, design reviews, and investment discussions.
• Provide clear, defensible recommendations to senior HR, Digital, and Architecture stakeholders—grounded in principles, not preferences.
• Ensure solutions comply with enterprise architecture guardrails, data principles (e.g., FAIR), and regulatory expectations (e.g., SOX where applicable).
• Maintain architectural artefacts in enterprise repositories (e.g., capability maps, solution views, spider diagrams, integration diagrams).
• Collaborate with HR Product Owners, Business Partners, Enterprise Architecture, Data, Security, and external vendors.
• Translate complex architectural topics into clear, business relevant narratives for senior stakeholders (e.g., CHRO-level discussions).
• Influence delivery partners to build simpler, more sustainable solutions, not just technically correct ones.
