We're currently recruiting for two senior Lead Architect positions within a major managed services environment. These are genuine architecture leadership roles, sitting as part of the account leadership team and responsible for the overall technical direction, governance and architectural integrity of large, complex technology estates.
This is an opportunity for an experienced architect who has moved beyond a single technology domain (cloud, infrastructure, network, security etc.) and can operate as a trusted advisor to customers, influence senior stakeholders and provide leadership across a broad technology landscape.
The Role
As Lead Architect, you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture across a large managed services account, ensuring technical solutions align with business objectives, contractual commitments and long-term technology strategy.
