Role Overview:

We are looking for a Lead Solutions Architect to own the design and evolution of our internal systems landscape.

You will be the bridge between business needs and technical execution, architecting solutions that connect Business Central, our data platforms, and operational workflows into a cohesive whole.

This is not a team management role but a highly senior individual contributor position.

You’ll also play a pivotal role in embedding Business Central at the heart of our business, ensuring integrations are robust, data is trusted, and workflows are optimised for speed and accuracy.

We are a business scaling fast and modernising many of our processes — so this is a role for someone who is both strategic in design and hands-on in delivery. You will identify bottlenecks, design integrations, and set technical standards that will allow us to grow without systems holding us back.

• Work with Finance, Operations, and Supply Chain leaders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Act as the subject matter expert for Business Central and its integrations, supporting adoption across the business.

Governance and Best Practice

• Define and maintain architectural standards, documentation, and system governance processes.
• Ensure data integrity, compliance, and security are built into every solution.
• Continuously evaluate new tools and approaches that could improve efficiency, resilience, or scalability.

Ideal Candidate:

• Deep experience designing and implementing solutions around Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• Strong track record of delivering system integrations, preferably in a product-led, operationally complex business.
• Several years’ experience in Fabric, SQL, and Python
• Hands-on technical ability - comfortable mapping workflows, designing integrations, and overseeing technical delivery.
• Skilled at working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand problems and design practical solutions.
• Strong knowledge of data structures, reporting requirements, and system governance.
• Commercially sharp - balances robustness with speed and cost-effectiveness.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment where not everything is fully defined.
