The role
You’ll take end-to-end ownership of solutions for our clients, and align them to business outcomes, technology strategy, commercial/financial constraints, and architecture governance.
You’ll create solutions blueprints with views that express business, data, application, and technology needs to address stakeholder requirements.
You’ll effectively communicate the solution through governance boards, stakeholder groups, and delivery teams to bring the solution to life and assure effective delivery.

We’ll want you to demonstrate experience of solutions architecture. You don’t need to have held the job title of solutions architect before.
In your CV and interview, please show how you have:
* built strong relationships with senior stakeholders to understand their views
* a strong foundation in software development, design, and delivery roles
* enabled and assured a delivery team’s implementation of your solutions architectures effectively
* worked with development life-cycle methodologies such as Agile software development, Scrum, and DevOps
* a good working knowledge of architecture frameworks and modelling languages
Core skills for success

* demonstrate significant, tangible business benefits of proposals you initiate for clients
* take a methodical and considered approach to solving problems
* take a collaborative and consultative approach to leading and guiding teams
* keep up to date with new and emerging technology trends and their practical application
In the interview, we’ll ask you to describe how you approach architecture, deliver business outcomes, and engage stakeholders. If successful in the first interview, you may be invited back to present a proposal from a case study and problem statement.
Experience not essential but relevant
* Experienced with Architecture Frameworks (e.g. TOGAF, Zachman, Open Agile Architecture)
If you have this experience, please show it on your CV and we can discuss it in the interview. If you don’t have this experience, please still apply — we can coach you in these areas if you join us.
