Senior Solution Architect – Financial Systems

Our client is seeking a Senior Solution Architect – Financial Systems to lead the architecture, integration, and modernization of enterprise finance platforms in a complex, regulated environment. This is a hands-on technical architecture role focused primarily on NetSuite and Coupa, where the ideal candidate will design future-state solutions, evaluate system impacts, oversee integrations, and provide technical direction across financial systems. The role requires strong experience with NetSuite technical architecture, SaaS platforms, APIs, enterprise integrations, and SOX/public company environments, with preference for candidates who have supported ERP consolidation, parent/subsidiary organizations, or large-scale financial transformations. This person will partner with business leaders, IT teams, vendors, and MSPs to drive solution decisions, validate technical deliverables, manage releases, and support the modernization of Roivant's finance technology landscape. NYC hybrid (3 days onsite), CTH position.

This is a Senior Solution Architect – Financial Systems role responsible for leading the architecture, design, integration, and delivery of enterprise finance applications. The person will serve as the technical owner for financial systems, ensuring solutions align with enterprise architecture standards while supporting business needs in a highly regulated life sciences environment. This is a hands-on architect, not a people manager or project manager.

What the Hiring Manager is Looking For

The ideal candidate has 10+ years of solution architecture experience with deep expertise implementing and integrating enterprise finance SaaS platforms such as NetSuite, Coupa, OneStream, Concur, and FloQast. They should be comfortable designing end-to-end solutions, creating future-state architecture, leading technical design discussions, and making architecture decisions that impact multiple enterprise systems.

A large part of the role involves enterprise integrations. The candidate should have strong experience designing API, cloud-to-cloud, microservices, and file-based (SFTP) integrations using tools such as Celigo, Boomi, or MuleSoft. They should understand data flows, integration architecture, master data management, and be able to evaluate vendor integration requirements before implementation.

The architect will also lead the technical delivery of projects by working with internal teams, managed service providers (MSPs), and software vendors. They will oversee solution design, configuration, testing, deployments, release management, risk assessment, and production support while ensuring compliance with regulations such as SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11.

Candidate Profile

• Must have experience in a public-company/SOX-compliant environment, including change control and governance.

• Strong preference for experience in:

• Parent/subsidiary organizations

• Financial consolidation/centralization

• M&A or similarly complex enterprise environments

• Biotech/life sciences experience is not required.

• Retail backgrounds may be less aligned unless the candidate has relevant enterprise complexity and compliance experience.

• Strong presentation skills are helpful but not essential, as the hiring manager will present final recommendations to executive stakeholders.

• The candidate must be comfortable being hands-on, reviewing technical work, and getting into details rather than operating only at a strategic level.

• Candidate sourcing should prioritize:

1. NetSuite expertise

2. Coupa experience

3. Enterprise financial systems architecture

4. SOX/public-company and parent/subsidiary experience

• strong, hands-on technical candidates who may be less senior in title but can grow into the architecture responsibilities.

Beyond delivery, this person will act as the technical advisor to business and IT leadership, helping define future-state architecture, modernization strategies, AI opportunities within finance systems, and best practices for enterprise architecture. Strong communication skills are critical, as they'll regularly present technical recommendations to executives and collaborate across finance, security, infrastructure, and vendor teams.

Key Skills Required

• 10+ years in Solution Architecture/Enterprise Architecture

• Deep expertise with NetSuite, Coupa, OneStream, Concur, FloQast

• Cloud SaaS architecture and enterprise system integrations

• APIs, Celigo, Boomi, MuleSoft, CI/CD, SFTP

• Architecture documentation, integration design, and technical governance

• Release management, vendor management, and production support

• Experience in regulated industries (Life Sciences/Biotech preferred)

• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills

The hiring manager is looking for a hands-on Solution Architect who has owned the technical architecture for enterprise financial platforms—not just supported or administered them. This person should be able to design complex integrations, guide technical delivery, evaluate architecture trade-offs, and work directly with business leaders and vendors to modernize the organization's finance technology landscape. They should be equally comfortable discussing APIs and integration patterns with developers as they are presenting architecture recommendations to senior executives.
