• Proven experience as a Solution Architect on HR, HCM and/or payroll implementations or consolidations in large, complex organisations.
• Strong working knowledge of SAP SuccessFactors (particularly Employee Central), including its data model and integration options.
• Experience designing payroll integrations and migrations, with a sound understanding of Australian payroll requirements (modern awards, enterprise agreements, Single Touch Payroll, superannuation and leave).
• Demonstrated experience in data migration architecture, including mapping, cleansing, reconciliation and cutover.

• Develop and maintain the architecture roadmap from current to future state, including transition states and the decommissioning of legacy platforms.
• Own the integration architecture between SAP SuccessFactors, PayGlobal, Finance, identity and access management (Entra ID / Okta), rostering and time and attendance, and other downstream consumers of workforce data.

• Lead detailed HR and payroll design review and delivery assurance, reviewing solution designs, data specifications and vendor technical deliverables within delegated authority. Present designs and escalate material exceptions through the architecture lead and relevant architecture and technology governance forums.
• Embed security and privacy by design, including role-based access, segregation of duties and protection of sensitive employee and payroll data, consistent with Silverchain’s Zero Trust and Essential Eight posture and privacy obligations.
