Solution Architect - 12 months - Hybrid - INSIDE IR35

I am working with a client who are seeking an experience Solution Architect with strong background in leading the architectural design for the replacement of Legacy systems.

Key Responsibilities.
"As-Is" Architecture Baseline: Work closely with the existing technical experts to decode and document the complex, often undocumented "As-Is" state, including direct database connections, Legacy XML feeds, and custom point-to-point scripts
Target State Design: Provide the strategic oversight for the design of the comprehensive "To-Be" architecture mapping to the 7 core functional modules (Commissioning, Identity, Rights/Contracts, Financial Processing, Sales/Licensing, Analytics, and Integration Layer)
Integration Strategy & API Design: Architect a modern integration layer to provide secure, scalable API flows and message queues to connect the platform with the existing editorial production systems, corporate systems and external SaaS applications
Transition & De-risking Strategy: Develop a phased migration roadmap that allows the business to transition functionality out of the Legacy application safely
Data Modeling & Master Data Management: Establish clear data ownership boundaries (eg, distinguishing between contact data owned by the rights system vs. financial data owned by Oracle AR/AP) to resolve current data synchronization and identity resolution issues.
