Interim Finance Technology Architect

This Is What Your Role Looks Like

To support continued growth across Europe, the Finance function needs a strong technology and data foundation.

Finance IT solutions will be significantly improved. The first 3 to 6 months will be architecture- and design-heavy, focused on deciding which systems to invest in, how data should flow between them, and which processes to restructure.

We're looking for a Finance Technology Architect to help get this right from day one: someone who brings outside experience, strong analytical skills, and the discipline to drive decisions. You'll work closely with Finance leadership and IT/Enterprise Automation.

Assignment details

Starting as soon as possible, for an estimated period of 4-6 months.

Your Responsibilities

• Assess and challenge the current finance systems landscape.
• Bring an outside-in perspective by benchmarking how comparable multi-country, multi-brand consumer businesses solve similar problems.
• Translate business requirements, process pain points and program objectives into a coherent technical direction, balancing short-term business value with long-term architecture health.
• Design and document start-, transition- and target architectures, compliant with regulations and standards.
• Help decide between SAP-native vs. integration and analytics/AI solutions.
• Drive decision-making discipline and help leadership make timely, well-informed architecture decisions, balancing value with implementation risk.
• Support the shift towards a scalable data platform and a less Excel-dependent, more automated Finance function.

Who Are You?

You are an experienced Finance Technology Architect with a strong background in SAP-centric environments and finance transformation. You combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of finance processes, translate business needs into scalable solutions, and confidently guide stakeholders through complex architecture decisions. You thrive in fast-paced, international organizations and enjoy building future-proof finance technology landscapes.

You’ll thrive here if most of this sounds familiar:

• Minimum 5 years demonstrable experience as a technology/solution architect in a "SAP+" environment — SAP at the core, with a broad ecosystem of complementary platforms around it (for AP, statutory reporting, integration, workflow, data, AI).
• Strong affinity with data and application integration patterns.
• Strong finance process affinity — you understand Purchase-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash and lease accounting well enough to support and challenge the Finance team.
• A track record spanning both B2C and B2B contexts — Basic-Fit runs a large consumer business alongside a franchise (B2B) model.
• Strong change-management skills — able to align stakeholders and bring calm, credible direction to a fast-moving program.
• Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus.

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to shape the finance technology backbone of a fast-growing, publicly listed company from the ground up, with visible impact.

What We Offer You

• A dynamic, international working environment with an informal culture.
• Access to the gym at HQ.
