I'm working with a leading global consultancy that's continuing to invest heavily in its Defence & Security practice and is looking to appoint an experienced Managing Solutions Architect to lead major architecture and digital transformation programmes across the sector.
This is a senior client-facing role where you'll combine technical leadership with business development, helping shape complex transformation strategies while growing key client relationships across Defence.

Alongside client delivery, you'll play a key role in developing new business, mentoring consultants and helping grow the wider practice.
