This role blends hands-on technical leadership with architectural oversight, ensuring scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions that align with business strategy and regulatory requirements. Because Finance, Risk and the other in-scope systems carry real audit and compliance weight, this includes understanding the reasoning behind controls - not just implementing them.

The role requires strong cross-functional collaboration with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Architecture, Cyber Security, and external vendors.

Act as the named escalation contact for complex or high-severity production incidents referred by the support/operations team, providing hands-on diagnosis and remediation. There is no formal on-call rotation, but the role holder should expect to be contactable for these escalations outside standard hours on an as-needed basis - frequency, response expectations, and any associated compensation or time-off-in-lieu arrangements will be confirmed with the hiring manager. Conduct hands-on root-cause analysis for recurring or complex production defects and implement or guide the fix.

Communicate technical decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Collaborate with the Architecture, Cyber Security, and Data teams to review solution designs (seeking approval where required), workflow logic, data models, and integration approaches, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards. Manage vendor relationships for platform support, upgrades, and escalations, including directing and reviewing the work of thirdparty vendors delivering ERP/EPM build and configuration (e.g. NetSuite, Anaplan), and holding them to account on quality and design decisions. Risk, Compliance & Quality Ensure solutions comply with financial, operational, and regulatory requirements. Oversee technical controls for Risk and Complaints systems, including audit trails, permissions, and data integrity. Proactively identify technical risks, platform constraints, and remediation opportunities. Maintain high-quality documentation across solution designs, workflows, integrations, and release notes. Required Skills & Experience Must-Have Technical Skills Given this domain sits across genuinely different platforms (Salesforce/CRM, Finance, Risk and related Corporate Services systems), we are asking for one true must-have - integration and data flow - since that is the connective tissue holding these systems together. For the platform-specific areas below, we are looking for confident, handsoncapable experience rather than deep expert-level depth in every one of them 1. Integration & Data Flow - Must
