Responsibilities

• Act as the senior SAP SuccessFactors Solution Architect and design authority for the client ADM service.
• Provide architectural oversight across the end-to-end SuccessFactors landscape, including Employee Central, Talent modules, platform capabilities, security, integrations, upstream and downstream systems, and payroll interfaces.
• Review and assure significant solution, configuration and integration changes, ensuring they are architecturally sound, secure, scalable and supportable.
• Ensure solutions remain aligned with SAP recommended practices and the wider client enterprise architecture.
• Review solution designs produced by ADM, project/change teams, SAP or third parties where changes impact the SF landscape.
• Maintain and evolve relevant solution architecture principles, key design decisions, integration architecture, technical debt considerations and architectural recommendations.
• Provide architectural input into change and design governance, assessing cross-functional and cross-system impacts before significant changes are implemented.
• Act as the senior SuccessFactors escalation point for complex, high-impact or recurring service issues requiring deeper product or architectural expertise.
• Provide expert intervention, root-cause guidance and architectural recommendations for complex SuccessFactors incidents and problems.
• Identify systemic weaknesses across configuration, integrations, security, data, solution design and operational processes.
• Distinguish between tactical fixes and underlying architectural issues and ensure short-term remediation does not create longer-term supportability or technical debt.
• Participate in major incident and problem reviews where senior SAP SuccessFactors expertise is required.
• Where appropriate, engage SAP product support and escalation channels and constructively challenge proposed resolutions.
• Assess the architectural and operational impact of SuccessFactors releases, upgrades, patches and significant changes.
• Identify technical debt, optimisation opportunities, architectural risks and areas where the service or solution can be improved.
• Advise NATS and the ADM team on the SuccessFactors roadmap, optimisation opportunities and future platform capabilities.
• Provide architectural guidance on the integration of SuccessFactors with the wider SAP and non-SAP enterprise landscape, including SAP Integration Suite/CPI, SAP ERP or S/4HANA and third-party platforms.
• Support development of a sustainable SuccessFactors roadmap balancing immediate service priorities with longer-term architectural direction.
• Provide informed guidance on emerging SAP capabilities, including SAP BTP and relevant SAP Business AI capabilities where applicable to the NATS landscape.
• Act as the senior SuccessFactors architecture contact within the ADM service.
• Engage credibly with senior NATS stakeholders, translating complex technical issues into clear business implications, risks, options and recommendations.
• Work effectively across application management, project/change, enterprise architecture, integration, security and other technical teams.
• Collaborate with SAP and relevant third parties where specialist product or technical engagement is required.
• Coach and knowledge-transfer to the existing ADM team to strengthen SuccessFactors capability and reduce unnecessary dependency on specialist escalation.
• Promote consistent architecture, design and support practices across the service.
