MRJ have partnered with one of the UK's leading technology driven organisations as they continue to invest heavily in AI, Automation and enterprise-wide digital transformation.

This is an opportunity to shape the future architecture of the business as they look to embrace AI, automation and cloud technologies at scale. Working as part of a newly established AI Centre of Excellence, you'll design enterprise solutions that have genuine business impact across multiple functions.

If you're passionate about AI, enterprise architecture and solving complex business challenges through technology, this is a fantastic opportunity to influence strategy while remaining close to delivery.

The Role:

We're looking for an experienced Senior Solution Architect to lead the design of AI-powered and Intelligent Automation solutions across a large-scale enterprise.

You'll work closely with business stakeholders, Product Owners, Technical Architects and Engineering teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technology solutions aligned with long-term strategic objectives.

This is a highly influential role where you'll help define architectural standards, shape technology roadmaps and ensure AI solutions are secure, scalable and commercially effective.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
