A growing organization is Europe's largest and fastest-growing fitness operator and franchisor. To keep scaling at this pace across Europe, the Finance function needs a best-in-class technology and data foundation. The organization will significantly improve its Finance IT solutions. The first 3 to 6 months will be architecture- and design-heavy: deciding which systems to invest in, how data should flow between them, and what processes to restructure.
A Finance Technology Architect is sought to help get this right from day one: someone who brings outside experience, strong analytical skills, and the discipline to drive decisions. You'll work closely with Finance leadership and IT/Enterprise Automation.
Your responsibilities.
- Assess and challenge the current finance systems landscape. Bring an outside-in perspective: benchmark against how comparable multi-country, multi-brand consumer businesses solve similar problems
- Translate business requirements, process pain points and program objectives into a coherent technical direction, balancing short-term business value with long-term architecture health
- Design and document start-, transition- and target architectures, compliant with regulations and standards. Help decide between SAP-native vs. integration and analytics/AI solutions
- Drive decision-making discipline — help leadership make timely, well-informed architecture decisions, balancing value with implementation risk
- Support the shift towards a scalable data platform and a less Excel-dependent, more automated Finance function
What they ask You are an experienced Finance Technology Architect with a strong background in SAP-centric environments and finance transformation.

Strong affinity with data and application integration patterns
- Strong finance process affinity — you understand Purchase-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash and lease accounting well enough to support and challenge the Finance team
