Job Description

Job Summary

IT Solution Architect — SAP Group Reporting & Finance Cloud

About the Program

Zurich Insurance Group is replacing its end-of-life SEM-BCS consolidation platform with SAP Group Reporting Public Cloud — a strategic, AI-first transformation of the Group Finance function delivered using SAP Activate methodology.

This role is Zurich's client-side technical architect, embedded in Zurich's project governance. The person holds the target architecture, challenges the SI on Zurich's behalf, and ensures all design decisions serve Zurich's long-term interests beyond the current engagement.

Solution Components in Scope

Core consolidation: SAP Group Reporting Public Cloud, SAP GRDC, ICMR (Intercompany), Embedded Analytics

Integration platform: SAP BTP (CPI), Cloud Connector, SAP BTP IAS/IPS, SAP S/4HANA (GFC)

Analytics & reporting: SAP BDC (Business Data Cloud), Databricks

Operations & governance: SAP CALM, Transport Management, Security / SoD Design, Monitoring Framework, Zurich Network Integration

Key Responsibilities

Solution Architecture

  • Define and own the end-to-end target architecture across all solution components
  • Enable Technical Teams to build the environment
  • Author Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for all major design choices
  • Align Key Design Decisions amongst Stakeholders
  • Align with AI experts to embedd AI into the Solution Delivery

Integration Design

  • Design inbound flows: SAP S/4HANA (ZNA, Farmers, Turkey) via API to GRDC; non-SAP sources via GRDC input forms
  • Design outbound flows: SAP GR to BDC, SAP GR to Databricks, SAP GR to Workiva
  • Govern SAP BTP CPI pipeline design, Cloud Connector topology, and API patterns
  • Define communication arrangements and disclosure data scope for external systems

Security Architecture

  • Ensure all configurations comply with Zurich's cybersecurity policies and compliance standards

Resilience & Monitoring

  • Design the monitoring architecture: alerting, SLA thresholds, operational dashboards for all interfaces
  • Define the hypercare monitoring model and error resolution procedures
  • Produce operational handover architecture — run-book inputs and steady-state data flows

SAP CALM & Landscape Management

  • Define ALM tooling setup and landscape management approach
  • Govern transport strategy and release management across all environments (dev / test / UAT / production)
  • Integrate with SAP CALM for change tracking, impact analysis, and deployment control

Configuration Governance

  • Govern SAP Datasphere replication flow design for outbound analytics

Skill Requirements

Mandatory

  • SAP Group Reporting hands-on configuration — GR Public Cloud or deep SEM-BCS with documented GR transition knowledge
  • SAP GRDC — data mapping, input form configuration, source-to-target mapping design
  • SAP BTP in practice — CPI integration flows, Cloud Connector, IAS/IPS provisioning; able to validate at technical specification level, not design only
  • Integration architecture across SAP and non-SAP systems; API-based and file-based patterns
  • Security-by-design: SAP authorization concept, SoD, BTP security model
  • Architecture documentation produced independently to Steering Committee quality: ADRs, solution design documents, integration specifications
  • Finance domain: group consolidation concepts (IFRS, GAAP hierarchies, intercompany elimination, Chart of Accounts) — sufficient to challenge both business and SI

Strongly Preferred

  • SAP BDC (Business Data Cloud) and/or SAP Datasphere integration experience
  • Databricks integration for outbound analytics from SAP
  • Workiva or equivalent disclosure management tool integration
  • SAP CALM hands-on configuration and transport management
  • SAP Activate methodology
  • Financial services or insurance industry background
  • English fluent; German advantageous for Zurich stakeholder interactions
