Architect
Axiologik is looking for ambitious, versatile people to join our Architecture practice.
Our Architecture practice comprises consulting practitioners at the top of their game, expert across a variety of domains, technologies and business sectors.
Architects deliver meaningful change for our clients, including designing and building critical national infrastructure.

As an Architect you will design and deliver the architecture for systems and workstreams, working consultatively with business and technology stakeholders to help them deliver their priorities.
It is a role built for someone early in their consulting career who wants to grow quickly, with senior architects around them to learn from.
If you want to be part of an organisation that offers you a variety of work, the opportunity to upskill and become multi-disciplinary in an agile and agnostic environment, work flexibly in line with a healthy work/life balance; be positively challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone; and ultimately, enjoy working alongside your team members, then read on!

The Role
In your role as an Architect, you will be working alongside other Architects, delivery teams, and with key business stakeholders to develop the system architecture for complex solutions, contributing to the consulting analysis and advice we give our clients.
Your typical workload will be split between working hands-on within a delivery team and contributing to client-side engagements — discovery work, assessments and options appraisals that clients act on.
We expect you to be comfortable in a varied role and to build understanding across many disciplines, working alongside practitioners in user-centric design, product and platform-centric agile delivery and AI enabled engineering. This is a role for someone who wants to grow fast. You will work under the guidance of Senior and Principal Architects, with a tailored development plan, funded certifications and deliberate exposure to new sectors, technologies and client cultures.
As you progress you will start coaching technical designers and less experienced colleagues.
Because we are a consultancy, how you work with people matters as much as what you design. You will spend your time building relationships with client stakeholders, listening carefully, handling challenge well and explaining technical decisions to non-technical audiences.
Essentials
- Be responsible for the architecture and design of defined systems and workstreams, providing ongoing architectural guidance to the teams delivering them
- Contribute to consulting outputs; current state assessments, options appraisals, target architectures and roadmaps a client can act on after the engagement ends
- Work with key business stakeholders to understand business priorities and requirements, leveraging your analytical and technical expertise to produce architectural designs that meet those needs
- Navigate technical, financial and operational factors, integrating this into thinking, proposals and plans
- Communicate effectively and build trusted working relationships with business and technical stakeholders, adapting how you explain things to the audience in front of you, and delivering within your own area of responsibility in keeping with product/programme strategy & direction
- Work effectively within local governance and assurance, submitting and refining designs to ensure compliance with standards
- Operate semi-autonomously within your area of responsibility and deliver work to high levels of quality, with guidance and support from Axiologik and/or client lead(s), agreeing and working to clear objectives
- Work consultatively inside client organisations, building rapport and credibility quickly in unfamiliar teams, cultures and environments
- Adapt own approach to complex, challenging and low clarity environments
- Actively grow your skills beyond architecture disciplines; across user-centric design, product and platform-centric agile delivery and AI enabled engineering
- Transfer knowledge to client teams as you work, leaving them better able to carry the work forward
- Research and establish best practice in own areas of expertise, producing articulate models & designs describing architectures & solutions which are accessible to a wide stakeholder audience
- Ensure that client security, regulatory and compliance needs are met throughout

- Experience operating as an Architect, technical designer, engineering or data lead, ideally in a consulting or multi-client context
- Experience working directly with clients or internal stakeholders with delivered outcomes you can talk us through
- Strong communication skills, with examples of explaining technical decisions to non-technical audiences and building trust quickly in new teams
- A clear appetite for rapid development — certifications gained, disciplines picked up, or moves outside your comfort zone you have chosen to make
- Working knowledge of industry-standard software packages or SaaS offerings (CRM, ERP, IDAM), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and infrastructure
- Experience of agile, product and platform-centric delivery
- Exposure to regulated, safety-critical or critical national infrastructure environments
