The Role
Architected bespoke solution designs to penetrate highly regulated markets, securing landmark enterprise contracts through modular product engineering. I specialised in translating complex regulatory requirements into functional system designs, ensuring that every solution was both commercially scalable and ‘implementation-ready’ for global delivery teams.
Key Achievements
Technical Solution Architecture & Commercial Impact
-
Complex Solution Engineering: Secured a landmark £1M ARR / multi-million pound implementation (the largest in company history) by architecting a bespoke accounting solution to meet stringent regulatory requirements for a global insurer.
-
Strategic Architecture Leadership: Directed pre-sales solution architecture, designing modular financial functionality and technical designs for Big 4 partners and blue-chip clients to ensure long-term commercial viability.
-
Strategic Ecosystem Alignment: Coordinated a “soft power” initiative across Big 4 partners (PwC, EY, KPMG, Deloitte) to align product roadmaps with partner implementation timelines, securing landmark wins like Aviva.
-
Mission-Critical Problem Solving: Managed a high-priority “Special Project” for a Tier-1 US Telco to resolve complex data modifications during cloud migration for a system handling 10M+ daily records.
Operational Engineering & Agile Transformation
-
Operational Agile Transformation: Pioneered and implemented the Scrum framework within the Pre-Sales function to synchronise delivery with Big 4 partners, increasing critical feature delivery speed by 50% and resolving cross-functional GTM friction.
-
Stakeholder & Partner Alignment: Acted as a strategic advisor on implementation best practices, ensuring complex technical designs aligned with both partner expectations and robust regulatory integrity.
-
Market-Led Technical Influence: Influenced core product teams to accelerate critical IFRS-17 features by synthesising market demands into functional requirement sets that reduced sales-cycle friction.
System Integrity & Technical Validation
-
System Integrity & Reconciliation: Engineered high-impact product demonstrations specifically focused on reconciliation flows and system-to-system data accuracy, directly addressing operational risk for enterprise-scale financial institutions.
-
Risk-Mitigation Engineering: Designed technical proof-of-concepts that translated complex regulatory requirements into functional system designs, ensuring data accuracy across high-volume financial environments.
