The Role
You’ll be responsible for designing and governing the overall ERP solution architecture—covering applications, data, integrations, and infrastructure—ensuring it meets business objectives, integrates effectively with existing systems, and supports long-term scalability and a single source of truth.
Working closely with programme leadership, vendors, and business stakeholders, you’ll guide design decisions, resolve architectural conflicts, and ensure vendor solutions meet required standards for security, cloud resilience, and service continuity.

Review and approve technical deliverables (configurations, customisations, extensions)
Embed security-by-design across application, data, and infrastructure layers
Define and support role-based access controls and permission models
Challenge and assure ERP/SI vendors on cloud resilience, data protection, and incident response
Integrate vendor assurance into programme governance and risk management
Skills & Experience (Essential)
Strong ERP architecture experience (ideally SAP S/4HANA)
Proven experience designing secure, scalable, high-performance ERP solutions
Deep understanding of application, data, and integration architecture in complex environments
Familiarity with TOGAF, Zachman, or similar architecture frameworks
Ability to lead and influence senior technical and business stakeholders
Experience managing vendors and holding them accountable for delivery and assurance
Strong understanding of security principles, access control models, and cloud resilience
Analytical, pragmatic, and confident challenging vendor solutions where required
Why Apply?
