This job is OPEN to APPLY for ALL Nationalities, unless otherwise specified.
The Solution Architect is a senior technical and client-facing role responsible for leading EPM design and delivery. You will shape architectural approaches, lead model-building teams through agile delivery, and serve as the primary technical voice with clients. This role operates at Manager or Senior Manager level within the EMEA EPM practice.
Responsibilities
Pre-Sales Support
You will contribute to pre-sales activities including building and presenting platform demonstrations, either personally or by directing a model builder. You are expected to develop deep familiarity with Alpha's accelerator models for Asset Managers, Real Estate, Private Markets, and Workforce Planning, through active engagement with the wider EPM community.
Scope Definition and Discovery
You will own project scoping from initial discovery through to sign-off. This involves:
Leading discovery sessions with client stakeholders to surface current-state processes, systems, and data flows
Documenting business and functional requirements with precision
Producing workflow and process diagrams of existing and future-state operations
Identifying integration dependencies and assessing enterprise-level system alignment
Flagging scope risks early and communicating them directly to the Project Manager and client representatives
Solution Design and Specifications
Prior to build commencement, you will translate functional requirements into detailed project specifications and sprint plans. This includes designing and documenting the future-state operating model, including how new processes, data sources, and workflows connect through the EPM solution. Where system capabilities and client specifications diverge, you will propose pragmatic workarounds.
Requirements Documentation
You will lead requirements gathering and maintain documentation discipline throughout the delivery lifecycle. User Stories are captured in JIRA. As part of this process, you will examine existing systems to identify improvement and integration opportunities.
Client Engagement
You will engage directly with client stakeholders throughout the project, from discovery through to deployment. This includes preparing and presenting sprint reviews, progress updates, integration reports, and demonstrations. You should be equally comfortable communicating with business sponsors and technical counterparts.
You will also receive evolving requirements from clients during delivery and work with the Project Manager to prioritise and re-plan accordingly..

What is an ATS CV?
Applicant Tracking System or "ATS", is the software that 'READS' your CV and stores this information in a database. Like this:
If the CV is not made as per the RULES of the ATS, the information will get messed up in the database. In the image below, 'PMP' has gone into the 'Mobile Number' column. The Mobile Number '052 1234567' has gone into the 'Main Skill' column.
So a recruiter searching for a candidate with PMP certification, will never find this person, in spite of his 'CV information' existing in the database...
...And, he will wonder why he gets rejected in spite of being a PERFECT MATCH for the Job.
