You probably know the stores, but behind the scenes there's a whole world to discover. This international retailer is growing fast across Europe, and its Technology team of more than 110 colleagues works pragmatically and solution-oriented to support that growth in every country. That pace asks a lot of the systems and processes behind it, especially in Finance.
The opportunity
To support that growth, there's room for a Solution Architect Finance. Someone who feels at home in both Finance and Technology, understands what drives the business and brings a clear vision on how to get there. You'll get the trust and the room to make a real impact in an organization that keeps moving forward.
The role
As Solution Architect Finance, you are the bridge between Finance and Technology. You speak the language of the business and know how to translate complex challenges into SAP-based solutions that are scalable and built to last. You design and maintain end-to-end solution architectures that support Finance processes across the entire SAP landscape, from blueprint to roadmap.
You also play a clear advisory role, with direct visibility to Finance, Compliance and Technology stakeholders at an international level. They rely on you as a trusted sparring partner when it comes to solution design and architectural decisions. You look beyond the technology itself: you assess the business impact of every choice and make sure solutions contribute to standardized, future-proof Finance operations. At the same time, you ensure every design meets enterprise standards, financial controls and European regulatory requirements.
That makes this a truly varied role. You bring together Finance process owners, SAP specialists, integration teams and external implementation partners, and you provide architectural leadership on Finance-related SAP initiatives and transformation programs, including the move to SAP S/4HANA. One moment you're sharpening a roadmap or governance document, the next you're aligning stakeholders on the direction of a major change. Throughout, you keep sight of the bigger picture: a Finance landscape that keeps improving and is ready for the future.
Your profile
You're not just a technology architect: you understand how Finance works, from Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash to Financial Closing, Tax, Treasury and Compliance. You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in IT, Finance, Business Information Management, Engineering or a related field, and bring 7+ years of experience in Finance-related technology environments, including at least 3 years as a Solution Architect. You have extensive, hands-on SAP Finance experience and know how to turn business requirements into effective solution designs. Experience in international retail, S/4HANA programs, or a TOGAF or SAP certification is a plus.
You're a credible partner for process experts and SAP specialists alike. You communicate clearly, thrive in complex, fast-moving international organizations and always focus on simplicity, scalability and long-term value.
The offer
A front-row seat in a major SAP S/4HANA transformation, at a company with the scale of a large listed corporation, but without the pressure of quarterly results. From the headquarters in the Netherlands, you'll work on Finance solutions used across Europe. With thousands of stores in 15 countries and major growth ambitions, you'll have a real say in the direction of Finance and Technology. You'll do this in a culture built on shared values: customer focus, teamwork, simplicity, discipline, cost-consciousness and respect. Of course, this comes with a strong package: a salary between €90.000 and €100.000 per year based on a 38-hour week, plus an annual bonus of 10% to 20% based on company and personal targets.
On top of that, you'll get 24 days' holiday with the option to buy five more, flexible working hours and up to 40% working from home. You'll also enjoy a 15% staff discount, a good pension scheme, collective health insurance and a travel allowance. You'll start on a temporary contract with the intention of making it permanent, and HSM visa sponsorship and a relocation package are available.
