Solutions Architect

Half this job is architecture. The other half is convincing senior stakeholders that you're right, and bringing them with you.

£75 - £80k, permanent, hybrid with a few days a month at the office in Yorkshire. A senior solution architect seat at a large national not-for-profit, fully cloud and Microsoft-led, where new regulation means the architecture work matters now.

What's in it for you

• A senior seat in a small architecture team, reporting to the Head of Architecture
• Real breadth: data, application, technology and security across a large SaaS-heavy estate
• Influence on roadmaps and investment, not just project designs
• Work with a purpose: the systems you shape support frontline services for the public

What you'll be doing

• Setting the high-level design, options and decision records, with engineers owning detailed design and build
• Governing how suppliers and SaaS products fit the target architecture
• Shaping the move of a large legacy integration estate onto a modern cloud platform
• Supporting new system selections from an architecture perspective
• Working with senior business and technology leaders on roadmaps and investment planning

What you'll need

• A track record of influencing senior non-technical stakeholders and winning support for a recommended approach
• Established solution architecture experience at HLD level, setting design for others to build
• Breadth across data, application, technology and security architecture, rather than depth in a single stack

Useful, not essential

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure and the wider Microsoft estate
• An architectural view of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform
• Integration architecture, particularly Azure Service Bus or similar
• TOGAF, BCS or equivalent architecture certification
• Experience in the public sector, not-for-profit or another regulated environment
