As a Solution Architect, you will:
* Define and lead the overall integration architecture and strategy

* Ensure compliance with security policies, regulatory requirements, and performance benchmarks
* Oversee test builds, environments, and validations in collaboration with project and testing teams
* Manage support arrangements to ensure smooth operation of integration components
* Guide user acceptance testing for end-to-end integration scenarios
Qualifications:
* Proven experience leading integration architecture for complex enterprise systems
* Familiarity with HR or workforce management systems is a strong plus
* Expertise in API-led integrations, cloud platforms, and hybrid infrastructure models
* Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
* Strong grasp of governance, compliance, and architecture best practices
* Ability to work effectively within a part-time, time-boxed engagement
* Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
* Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
* Strong relationship building skills, necessary to working in a complex multi-vendor environment
What’s in it for you?
* An opportunity to join a high-growth, scale-up consulting firm; we see an opportunity to make a material difference to how clients are served, and are on a mission to create environments that thrive for our clients.
* A dedicated focus on your individual personal development: managed through annual performance appraisals, individual personal development plans, and our bi-weekly ‘continuous conversations’ programme.
* Additional professional development is available through a personal training budget (subject to approval of a relevant business case)
