Direct message the job poster from Sectech Solutions

• Solution/Data Architect Hybrid (Hands-On Data Focused)
• 100% Remote Working
• US Candidates Only - ET Working Hours
• Contract-To-Hire
• Initial 6-month contract - Hourly Rates up to $110
• Perm Salary, subject to a successful transition from contract to a permanent role ($200k)
• Finance and/or Insurance Domain Experience is essential

We are seeking a highly skilled Data Architect / Solution Architect hybrid to lead the design, integration, and transformation of our finance data ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep hands‑on data expertise, strong solution architecture capability, and a solid understanding of financial systems and accounting data.

You will serve as both:

• a backup and eventual successor to our Finance Data Architect
• a complement to our Solution Architecture lead, contributing cross‑domain architectural depth

This is a hands‑on technical role with significant influence across ERP replacement, data fabric modernization, and financial reporting transformation.

What You’ll Do

Finance Data Architecture (Primary Focus)

• Support and eventually backfill the Finance Data Architect for:
• Semantic models for finance reporting
• Future Enterprise Data Warehouse
• Design and refine backend finance data models, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and scalability
• Understand and model financial structures including general ledger, chart of accounts, insurance & reinsurance data, and accounting flows
• Ensure finance data is usable for reporting, forecasting, and regulatory purposes
• Lead integration design across SAP, Workday, data fabric, and downstream applications
• Define and optimize end-to-end data pipelines and transformation flows
• Understand how financial data aggregates through the data pipeline - and how this differs across policy, reinsurance, actuarial, and finance processes
• Contribute to re‑architecting legacy applications as part of broader modernization efforts
• Recommend integration patterns (APIs, events, fabric links, batch pipelines), explaining technical trade‑offs
• Produce high-quality architecture deliverables including solution diagrams, data flow maps, and integration blueprints
• Partner with engineering, cloud, and data teams to drive design decisions
• Support cloud migration initiatives through data flow mapping and integration guidance
• Communicate architecture options clearly, presenting pros/cons to technical and business audiences
• Participate in business architecture discussions where process and data intersect

This role is not purely conceptual – you will perform real technical work, including:

• Building and validating data models (logical & physical)
• Developing or supporting data pipelines and data migration workflows
• Creating BI‑ready structures and supporting reporting teams
• Drafting migration path documentation, field mappings, and sequencing plans
• Troubleshooting integration and data quality issues alongside engineering teams

What You Bring

Core Data Architecture Expertise

• Strong understanding of semantic modelling, medallion architecture, and modern data warehousing
• Experience with ERP‑to‑warehouse integration and finance system data flows
• Ability to design sustainable, scalable finance data ecosystems
• Hands‑on experience with SAP (finance modules strongly preferred)
• Knowledge of Workday integrations
• Experience with general ledger migration projects
• Understanding of insurance and reinsurance accounting principles

Integration & Data Fabric Skills

• Direct experience with data fabric concepts, data virtualization, and enterprise data integration
• Comfortable designing end‑to‑end integration architecture
• Ability to explain how data moves, transforms, aggregates, and is governed

Hands‑On Technical Skills

• Experience building or maintaining data pipelines (cloud or on‑prem)
• Ability to create data flow diagrams and migration plans
• Familiarity with BI tools and reporting structures
• Strong documentation and architectural communication skills

Collaboration & Business Partnership

• Comfortable working with system owners, business SMEs, and finance leadership
• Able to translate business requirements into technical design
