Job Description:

Role Summary

The Finance Solution Architect designs and drives end-to-end technology
solutions that enable healthcare financial operations spanning claims and
premium revenue, AP/AR, subledger/journal processing, reconciliation, and GL
integration within an ERP platform (e.g., Workday Financials). This role
bridges finance domain knowledge with solution and application architecture,
ensuring systems are scalable, auditable, and aligned to regulatory and
reporting needs.



Key Responsibilities

1) End-to-End Solution Architecture

• Define target-state architecture for finance capabilities across source
systems → data platform → subledger → Workday GL.

• Create solution blueprints (conceptual/logical/physical), integration
patterns, and roadmaps aligned to finance and business strategy.

• Ensure design supports healthcare payer/provider nuances (e.g., medical vs
pharmacy claims, capitation, stop-loss/reinsurance, risk adjustment, premium
billing).

2) Workday Financials / Accounting Integration

• Design posting architecture into Workday GL, including dimensional strategy
(e.g., worktags, entity, LOB, cost center).

• Architect subledger processing using Workday Accounting Center (or
equivalent) to convert business events into balanced journal entries.

• Establish guardrails for period close, backposting rules, accrual handling
(e.g., IBNR), and journal governance.

3) Data & Reconciliation Architecture

• Partner with data teams to define curated finance data models (e.g.,
FNDS/FCDS patterns) covering:

o Revenue / Premium Billing / AR

o Claims (medical + pharmacy) / AP

o Membership & eligibility

o Payments & cash

o Adjustments & accruals

• Design reconciliation frameworks:

o Source ↔ FNDS

o FNDS ↔ subledger outputs

o Subledger ↔ Workday GL

• Implement controls, exception handling, and variance workflows to support
audit readiness.

4) Integration Architecture & Reliability

• Define enterprise-grade integration patterns (batch, API, event-driven) for
high-volume healthcare financial feeds.

• Ensure resiliency patterns:

o idempotency / replay safety

o retries and dead-letter routing

o control totals and completeness checks

o monitoring and operational dashboards

• Manage interface contracts, data mapping, and versioning across dependent
systems.

5) Application Architecture (User-Facing Finance Tools)

• Design and support user-facing applications that finance teams rely on
(beyond reporting), such as:

o reconciliation workbenches

o exception resolution workflows

o adjustment entry tooling

o finance self-service portals

• Define API/service-layer patterns to decouple UI workflows from storage and
ERP dependencies.

6) Governance, Security, and Compliance

• Ensure designs meet audit/compliance standards (SOX-like controls, PHI/PII
protections as applicable).

• Define access control patterns (RBAC/ABAC), audit trails, lineage, and
evidence artifacts for finance operations.

• Align architecture with enterprise governance standards and participate in
architecture review boards.

7) Stakeholder Leadership

• Partner with Finance (Controllers, FP&A, Treasury, AP/AR), IT, and vendor
teams to align requirements and prioritize delivery.

• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders; produce
executive-ready materials.



Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in solution architecture (or equivalent) with
significant focus on finance systems.

• Strong understanding of finance processes: GL, AP, AR, close, accruals,
reconciliation, auditability.

• Experience integrating with an ERP (preferably Workday Financials;
SAP/Oracle/PeopleSoft acceptable).

• Demonstrated ability to design end-to-end integrations across multiple source
systems and domains.

• Strong data architecture skills (financial data modeling, curated layers,
lineage, quality).

• Experience designing controls for accuracy:

o control totals

o reconciliation

o idempotent posting

o exception handling

o period governance



Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Healthcare payer/provider domain experience (claims, premiums, PBM/pharmacy,
capitation, risk adjustment, stop-loss).

• Workday-specific: Accounting Center, Prism, Worktags, Workday integration
patterns.

• Experience with modern cloud patterns (Azure/AWS), event streaming
(Kafka/Event Hub), API management.

• Experience with data platforms (Snowflake/Databricks), analytics (Power BI),
and metadata/catalog tooling.

• Familiarity with regulatory reporting needs in healthcare.



Key Skills

• Finance fluency + ability to translate into architecture decisions

• System thinking across applications, data, integration, and controls

• Auditability by design (traceability, evidence, approvals)

• Reconciliation-first mindset (not "fix later in Excel")

• Ability to design user workflows + APIs, not just pipelines



Example Deliverables

• End-to-end architecture diagrams and integration blueprints

• Accounting Center / journal rule patterns and mapping approach

• Reconciliation control framework and dashboards

• Data model for curated finance domains (FNDS/FCDS)

• Cutover/migration plan to Workday (including parallel run strategy)

• Security model and audit evidence approach
