About Us

Northreach is a dynamic recruitment agency that connects businesses with top talent in financial services, fintech, and digital sectors. We specialize in providing a seamless recruitment experience for clients and candidates, fostering innovation and professional growth.

About the Role

We’re partnering with a growing fintech operating across workplace pensions and financial wellbeing to appoint a commercially minded Solutions Architect.

You’ll help employers understand how the offering fits their business, work through complex payroll and benefits requirements, and use those conversations to influence the company’s product and service direction.

Sitting within the commercial team, this role combines customer-facing solution design with meaningful ownership of proposition development. You’ll work closely with HR and Finance leaders, partners, Product, Marketing and Client Success to identify unmet needs and turn them into practical, commercially valuable solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead discovery conversations with employers to understand their objectives, existing systems and operational requirements.
  • Map how payroll, HR and benefits platforms fit together and scope realistic integration options with technical teams.
  • Support complex sales and partnership conversations, explaining technical detail clearly and building confidence in the proposed solution.
  • Develop workable approaches where standard integrations do not meet a client’s needs, including phased implementation and interim processes.
  • Identify recurring customer challenges and opportunities to strengthen the workplace proposition.
  • Build business cases for new product capabilities, partnerships and service improvements.
  • Influence product priorities and work with Client Success to shape the ongoing employer experience.
  • Partner with Marketing and Sales to communicate the value of new offerings and support their launch.
  • Measure outcomes and refine solutions using customer feedback and commercial performance.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
