Work with implementation partners and third-party vendors to ensure solutions align with the overall architecture.
Provide architectural oversight across identity and access management.
Support architectural governance, standards and technology decision-making across the programme.
Help shape the future technology landscape as part of a significant HR transformation.

Strong Workday expertise, ideally with exposure across multiple Workday modules and international deployments
Proven experience delivering architecture within large-scale HR transformation programmes.
Strong understanding of enterprise integrations, APIs and API-led architecture.
Experience with SSO, MFA, Entra ID and/or SailPoint would be advantageous.
Comfortable defining target-state architecture and leading complex architectural decisions.
