To lead the end to end solution architecture for two strategic HR initiatives:
• EU Transparency – Benifex: implement and integrate Benifex to support compliant, scalable EU pay/benefits transparency and employee benefits experiences.
• HiredScore: implement AI assisted talent matching and candidate discovery, fully integrated with our HR ecosystem (e.g. Workday HCM and Paradox), with privacy, security and responsible AI guardrails.
• Own the architecture for Benifex & HiredScore: functional, integration, data, security, and operational views; ensure alignment with adjacent HR platforms (incl. Workday), identity/SSO and analytics.
• Produce & maintain High Level Design, reference diagrams, and a Significant Architectural Decisions (SAD) log required for gate reviews (incl. non functionals, hosting, access, monitoring).
• Define integration patterns (APIs/webhooks, eventing, SFTP), data mappings, idempotency/error handling, observability (logging, tracing, alerting).
• Embed security & privacy by design: IAM/SSO, least privilege, encryption, vendor controls; lead/coordinate DPIA/PIA inputs (lawful basis, retention, cross border transfers, bias mitigation for AI).
• Drive architecture governance through stage gates; manage risks/assumptions/dependencies; support test strategy (integration, performance, security) and operational readiness (runbooks, SLOs/SLIs).
• Act as technical counterpart to vendors (Benifex, HiredScore); partner with HR (Rewards & TA), Legal/Privacy, Security, Data & Analytics, Service/Operations, Enterprise Architect.
