We're working with a growing FinTech organisation in the lending space and they're looking to hire an experienced Solution Architect to support a range of lending and loan origination products.

This is a key role focused on understanding, connecting and optimising end-to-end lending journeys from origination through to decisioning and banking integrations.

The Role

You'll play a critical role in analysing and shaping how lending products function across the full lifecycle. This includes working across loan origination systems, decisioning engines, and banking integrations, ensuring everything ties together seamlessly.

You'll be working closely with both technical and business teams to understand how data flows through systems, how APIs connect services and how different lending products interact.

• Analyse and map end-to-end lending journeys (e.g. car finance, asset leasing, consumer lending)
• Understand and document loan origination and decisioning processes
• Work across multiple systems to connect functionality and identify gaps
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand APIs, integrations and data flows
• Translate business requirements into clear solution designs and documentation
• Support delivery teams in implementing and improving lending solutions

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Solution Architect or Technical Business Analyst in financial services
• Strong background in lending, loan origination or credit decisioning platforms
• Good understanding of APIs, system integrations and data movement (no coding required)
• Ability to think end-to-end across multiple products and systems
• Experience working in FinTech or banking environments
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
