About the Role:
As Perk expands into the expense and spend management market, we’re selling into finance-led organisations with complex ERP landscapes like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft,Sage, Datev, and more.
To win and scale, we need a technical authority in our solution consulting (pre-sales) team who can speak ERP fluently, frame integration strategy early, and eliminate downstream surprises.
If you come from SaaS pre-sales OR a Systems Integrator implementation or functional consulting background, you’ll feel right at home as this role blends credibility, architecture, and customer influence.
What You’ll Do:
The Solution Architect is the technical backbone of enterprise expense/spend management deals.
You will:
Run ERP/finance discovery, conceptualise and design integration approaches or options
Reduce risk before signature, accelerate deal confidence and ensure seamless handover to Professional Services.

Key Responsibilities:
Technical Discovery & Integration Strategy
Lead deep-dive ERP discovery across SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Sage, Datev etc.
Translate financial processes into clean integration narratives (master data, approvals, posting, tax, reconciliation).
Produce “solution architecture” diagrams customers can trust.

ERP Expertise & Authority in the Room
Serve as the go-to integration expert within the deal team
Communicate clearly how our solution integrates via APIs, export files, middleware, and native connectors.
Explain posting logic, chart of accounts, multi-entity setups, VAT workflows, project codes, and reconciliation cycles.
Deal Acceleration & Technical Validation
Create prototypes that confirm the feasibility of our suggested implementation
Facilitate validation steps: connector walkthroughs, sample data tests, architectural reviews.
Align with Professional Services early to ensure accurate scoping and predictable go-live expectations.
Cross-Functional Alignment & Feedback Loop
Partner with Product and Engineering to improve integration capabilities and documentation.
Provide structured feedback on connector gaps, common customer patterns, and technical blockers.
Help build reusable integration playbooks for global scale.
What You’ll Bring:
Hands-on ERP integration experience with at least one major system: SAP (ECC/S4) preferred, NetSuite, MS Dynamics 365 F&O, Business Central, Xero, or similar.
Strong pre-sales, solution architecture, or technical consulting background - SaaS or Systems Integrator (SI).
Background in expense, AP, or financial automation is preferred
Ability to sketch architectures live and explain complex flows in simple language.
Excellent customer-facing presence with finance + IT stakeholders.
Skilled in API concepts, SCIM/SSO, middleware patterns, and secure data flows (REST, SOAP, sFTP).
Experience with iPaaS platforms (Workato, Boomi, MuleSoft).
Business level spoken German and English, other languages are a great advantage.
