About the role

Xoriant is delivering a large-scale IT separation (carve-out) engagement for PwC's client. The programme separates an application estate of more than 300 applications, delivered in waves with Day 1 / Day 2 dispositions: logical segregation via TSA, clone and cleanse, new direct contracts, lift and shift, and replacement. The estate spans SaaS platforms, on-prem applications, SAP and SAP add-ons, integration middleware and API gateways, master data platforms, RPA, process mining, ETL, financial consolidation tools, and country-specific e-invoicing and customs solutions across multiple regions.

The Solution Architect owns the end-to-end target architecture and the application and integration separation approach across all waves. You will be the technical authority for the engagement. You will set the standards every application team follows, and you will advise client and Xoriant leadership on design decisions, trade-offs and risk.

Key responsibilities

· Target architecture: define and own the Day 1 and Day 2 solution architecture for the separated estate across all waves.

· Application disposition: lead the disposition decision for each application (TSA, clone and cleanse, recontract, lift and shift, replace). Document rationale, cost, risk and exit path, and keep the application inventory authoritative.

· Integration architecture: set the approach for interfaces, middleware, API gateways and file transfer, and for re-pointing or rebuilding them for the separated business.

· Application patterns: set patterns for SaaS tenant separation, on-prem and hosting moves, identity and SSO, networking and connectivity. Cover ERP add-ons, RPA, process mining, ETL, master data and consolidation tools.

· Regulatory and country solutions: ensure continuity of statutory e-invoicing, customs and tax flows through cut-over.

· TSA and Day 2 strategy: shape the TSA service catalogue from the technical side, and plan exit paths and stand-up of standalone services.

· Governance: chair the architecture review board and maintain design principles, decision logs and reference patterns. Review wave plans, cut-over plans and test strategy for technical soundness.

· Stakeholder leadership: advise programme sponsors, the client IT organisation, vendors and legal on technical separation options, and communicate complex trade-offs clearly.

· Team leadership: lead and mentor application, integration and infrastructure architects, and make delivery leads successful.

Required experience and skills

· 15 years in enterprise or solution architecture across a large, mixed application estate (SaaS, on-prem, packaged applications).

· Strong integration expertise: middleware, APIs and gateways, IDoc / file / message-based interfaces, managed file transfer.





· Strong grasp of hosting models, identity and SSO, networking and security in a multi-vendor environment.

· Executive communication: able to write and present architecture to senior client leadership. Comfortable with ambiguity, incomplete intake information and conflicting inputs from multiple stakeholders.

· Bachelor's degree in engineering or computer science. Master's degree preferred.

Preferred

· Migration experience: carve-out, divestiture, M&A; separation, application migration or landscape consolidation programmes, covering Day 1 and Day 2.

· SAP experience: SAP ECC, S/4HANA or RISE with SAP landscapes; SAP PI/PO; add-ons; Basis and cutover constructs (client copies, transports).

· Familiarity with tooling such as UiPath, Celonis, Informatica, TIBCO MDM, Tagetik and API management platforms.

· TOGAF or equivalent architecture certification; SAP architecture certification.

· Experience in manufacturing or automotive and in multi-country statutory compliance (LATAM, India, China).

· Cloud architecture (Azure / AWS) and hybrid hosting.

What success looks like

· Approved target architecture and disposition for every in-scope application, for each wave.

· No critical interface or statutory-flow outages at Day 1 cut-over.

· A clear decision log and design standards that application teams actually use.

· A confident, well-led architecture team.

About the role

Xoriant is delivering a large-scale IT separation (carve-out) engagement for PwC's client. The programme separates an application estate of more than 300 applications, delivered in waves with Day 1 / Day 2 dispositions: logical segregation via TSA, clone and cleanse, new direct contracts, lift and shift, and replacement. The estate spans SaaS platforms, on-prem applications, SAP and SAP add-ons, integration middleware and API gateways, master data platforms, RPA, process mining, ETL, financial consolidation tools, and country-specific e-invoicing and customs solutions across multiple regions.

The Data Architect owns how data is identified, separated, cleansed, migrated and governed across the separation. You will define how data for the separated business is carved out of shared systems and landed in the target. You will also define how master data platforms and reporting are separated without breaking compliance or operations.

Key responsibilities

· Data separation strategy:



define the approach and rules for carving data out of shared systems (entity-based selection, shared versus separated objects, history depth, archiving), sized to the separated business.

· Data migration: architect extraction, cleansing, transformation, load and reconciliation for master and transactional data. Own the mock-load plan, data quality gates and cut-over data strategy.

· Clone and cleanse: set the standards and checks for application data cloning, covering what is removed, anonymised or retained, and how this is evidenced to legal and the client.

· Master data: own the target master data architecture, including ownership, golden-record rules, outbound interfaces and synchronisation with the target ERP.

· Data integration and ETL: architect data flows through ETL tools, extractors, file exchange and API-based feeds. Define lineage, scheduling and error handling.

· Analytics and reporting continuity: ensure finance and operational reporting works at Day 1 and in the Day 2 target state.

· Data governance and compliance: set policies for classification, retention, privacy (GDPR and country regulations), access control and audit evidence, including cross-border data transfer.

· Data quality and reconciliation: define KPIs, thresholds, tooling and sign-off processes. Lead reconciliation between source and target, and with business data owners.

· Governance and leadership: chair the data design authority, review application-level data designs, and mentor data engineers and migration leads.

Required experience and skills

· 15 years in data architecture across large enterprise estates, including master data, data integration and data quality.

· ETL and data integration expertise (Informatica or equivalent), plus file, IDoc and API-based data exchange.

· Data governance, privacy and retention frameworks, with practical experience producing audit evidence for legal and compliance.

· Data modelling, data quality tooling and reconciliation methods. Comfortable with SQL and enterprise databases.

· Senior stakeholder communication: able to explain data risks and trade-offs to business owners, legal and executives.

· Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or a related field. Master's degree preferred.

Preferred

· Migration experience: data migration or separation in carve-out, M&A;, landscape consolidation or ERP transformation programmes.

· SAP experience: ECC data model, SAP migration tools (Migration Cockpit, LSMW, BODS, SLT), S/4HANA or RISE moves.

· Master data platforms such as TIBCO MDM; analytics tools such as Celonis, Power BI and Tagetik.

· DAMA-CDMP, TOGAF or SAP data certifications.

· Manufacturing or automotive background; multi-country statutory data requirements (LATAM, India, China).

· Cloud data platforms (Azure / AWS) and data lake patterns.

What success looks like

· Approved data separation and migration strategy, signed off by client data owners and legal.

· Mock loads meeting agreed quality thresholds, and a clean data cut-over for each wave.

· Master data and interfaces running correctly in the target from Day 1.

· Auditable evidence that only in-scope data was migrated.
