Background
Alfa Laval is currently on a digital transformation journey. As part of this transformation, we are rolling out CCH Tagetik as our strategic Corporate Performance Management (CPM) platform within Corporate Finance. We are strengthening our architectural capacity and are therefore looking for a Solution Architect to join us in the Value Stream Data, Analytics & Corporate Functions.
About the job
You will be the lead architect for the Corporate Finance domain, with primary responsibility for CCH Tagetik and its surrounding Finance systems landscape. As we are in the early phase of rolling out Tagetik, you will play a key role in shaping the architecture from the ground up and defining where it is heading next.
You will influence the future architecture of Alfa Laval’s Corporate Finance landscape and act as a key architectural partner to Finance, Product Management and technology teams. This is an opportunity to shape a strategic Finance platform at an important point in its development, influencing both the technology roadmap and the way Finance data is governed, integrated and used across Alfa Laval.

You build trust through clear communication, active listening and constructive dialogue. You are comfortable working with stakeholders from different functions and levels, and you influence decisions through sound advice, collaboration and inclusion rather than authority. You take ownership of your work, challenge established ways of working when needed and help create clarity in situations where priorities or requirements are evolving.

- Experience using Azure DevOps repositories or similar tools for managing technical solutions and development collaboration
- Ability to design integrations that support data quality, traceability and effective governance
- Experience working in an international environment, preferably within a larger global company
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
