Senior Solution Architect

Senior Solution Architect (upto 3) - Financial Services Transformation

Contract | Initial 6 Months | Outside IR35 (TBC) | Hybrid

We're working on behalf of a well-established organisation embarking on a major transformation programme and are looking to speak with experienced Senior Solution Architects who thrive in large-scale, complex environments.

This is an opportunity to join a high-profile programme where you'll play a key role in shaping enterprise solutions, influencing technical direction, and working alongside senior stakeholders to deliver meaningful change.

We're keen to hear from Solution Architects who can demonstrate:

  • Extensive experience operating as a Senior Solution Architect within large enterprise environments.
  • A strong background delivering complex transformation programmes.
  • Previous experience within Financial Services, Banking or Building Societies.
  • The ability to engage and influence stakeholders across both business and technical teams.
  • A broad understanding of enterprise technology, application architecture and integration.
  • Experience designing scalable, secure and resilient solutions.
  • A track record of working across the full project lifecycle.

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.
