Solution Architect

Job Title: Solution Architect Company: McCain Foods Limited Job Category: SAP SUCCESSFACTORS Roles & Responsibilities: Role Purpose ================ This role evaluates the full range of pathways, including process redesign, native SaaS capability, AI agents and automation, enterprise data platforms, API integration, custom applications, and hybrid approaches. It is platform\-agnostic and vendor\-neutral, with accountability for recommending solutions that are valuable, scalable, secure, responsible, human\-centered, and aligned with enterprise standards. The HR Solution Architect is a bridge role, not a platform administrator and not a pure enterprise architect. The role translates business needs into end\-to\-end workflows and architecture choices, builds the case for the recommended approach, and guides the solution through architecture, data, security, privacy, legal, and delivery governance. The role must communicate with equal credibility in an HR leadership discussion and a technical architecture review. Core Responsibilities ========================= Lead structured discovery, blueprinting, and solution design engagements that define the business problem, intended outcomes, user needs, process constraints, data needs, and value measures before identifying technology options. Determine whether a use case is best addressed through human\-process redesign, embedded HCM AI, enterprise AI capabilities, third\-party agents, internally developed agents, or a combination. Define time\-boxed proofs of concept with explicit success measures, data boundaries, security reviews, user validation, monitoring, and exit criteria before broader deployment. Define solution patterns for secure interoperability, data exchange, orchestration, exception handling, observability, and lifecycle management. Enable product managers and delivery teams to design solutions that are extensible, reusable, secure, compliant, reliable, cost\-conscious, operationally effective, and performant. Facilitate working sessions with HR leaders, centers of excellence, product managers, business users, technology teams, and vendors. Explain the reason for a recommendation, expected value, data implications, risks, change impact, dependencies, and decision points in a way that supports informed leadership choices. Maintain a current and future view of HR solution architecture aligned to HR strategy, product roadmaps, enterprise technology direction, and the evolving AI landscape. Monitor market and vendor direction without allowing a vendor roadmap to substitute for McCain business strategy or architecture judgment. Ability to develop conceptual and logical architectures and evaluate solutions at design level. Software engineering depth is useful but not required. Knowledge of solution delivery methods, including agile, DevOps, incremental delivery, prototyping, and the software development lifecycle. Working knowledge of end\-to\-end HR processes such as talent acquisition, onboarding, core HCM, workforce management, performance, learning, total rewards, employee services, and workforce analytics. Comfort presenting to senior HR and IT leaders and facilitating decisions across stakeholders with different levels of technical knowledge. Practical understanding of responsible AI principles in HR, including fairness, bias risk, output reliability, confidentiality, transparency, explainability, human oversight, monitoring, and drift. Ability to embed governance, controls, and human checkpoints into AI\-enabled workflows and to lead cross\-functional design conversations on appropriate use. AI\-enabled HR solutions have defined governance, data boundaries, human oversight, monitoring, and accountable ownership. HR and IT leaders can understand and confidently act on architecture recommendations. Work Location: Gurgaon, India Availability: Full time
