Overview

We are seeking an experienced Oracle HCM Payroll Solution Architect to provide technical solution leadership for complex Oracle Cloud HCM implementations, with a particular focus on UK Payroll. The successful candidate will combine strong payroll expertise with a hands-on understanding of Oracle HCM architecture, cross-module dependencies and end-to-end solution design.

This is a solution-focused role rather than a hands-on configuration position. You will guide the delivery team through complex system challenges, ensure seamless integration across HCM modules, and translate business requirements into robust, compliant solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead solution architecture and design for Oracle Cloud HCM Payroll implementations, ensuring alignment with UK payroll legislation and business requirements.
• Provide technical and functional solution leadership across Core HR, Payroll, Absence Management, Oracle Time and Labor (OTL) and Workforce Scheduling.
• Identify and resolve complex solution challenges, understanding technical dependencies, data flows and integration points across HCM modules.
• Guide and mentor payroll consultants and delivery teams, providing architectural oversight and ensuring high-quality solution delivery.
• Facilitate business process and solution design workshops, translating client requirements into scalable Oracle HCM solutions.
• Provide expert guidance on payroll processing, testing, payroll validation and Payroll Preview Report (PPR) activities.
• Support end-to-end solution design, ensuring accurate data flows between HCM modules and reliable payroll outcomes.
• Work closely with functional, technical, integration, testing and support teams to resolve issues and maintain solution integrity.
• Advise clients on Oracle HCM capabilities, product enhancements and release updates, identifying opportunities to improve existing solutions.
• Contribute to pre-sales activities, including solution demonstrations, technical input and proposals where required.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in Oracle Cloud HCM, with strong expertise in UK Payroll implementations.
• Proven experience in a Solution Architect or senior solution leadership role within complex Oracle HCM programmes.
• Strong understanding of UK payroll legislation, payroll processing and compliance requirements.
• Broad knowledge of Oracle HCM modules, particularly Core HR, Payroll, Absence Management, OTL and Workforce Scheduling.
• Strong technical solution design skills, including an understanding of cross-module dependencies, integrations and end-to-end data flows.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex system and solution issues and guide delivery teams towards effective resolutions.
• Experience leading solution design workshops and translating business requirements into robust technical and functional solutions.
• Proven ability to mentor consultants and provide architectural guidance without needing to undertake day-to-day configuration.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to bridge business requirements and Oracle HCM capabilities.
