Solutions Architect at Convergence Group
At Convergence Group, we’ve spent the last 20+ years building a business driven by ambition, innovation, and exceptional people. We design and manage enterprise WAN, LAN, WiFi and Security solutions for some of the UK’s most demanding organisations—and we’re growing fast. Now, we’re looking for a Solutions Architect to play a key role in shaping customer outcomes and driving technical excellence across our business.
What it’s really like here
The pace and intensity are higher than most environments in our sector. The workload is typically 30% greater than many people will have experienced elsewhere—not because we are chaotic, but because we are ambitious and constantly building. We grow organically and through acquisition, continuously integrating, improving, and raising the bar. The landscape evolves, priorities shift, and expectations rise.
If you prefer a predictable, static environment, this won’t feel comfortable. If you’re energised by growth, movement, and high standards, it can be deeply rewarding.
Your strengths will have a bigger platform here—and you’ll be stretched behaviourally more than in most environments.
We value respectful honesty: anyone can challenge an idea, hierarchy doesn’t protect thinking, and getting it right matters more than being right. Ego doesn’t perform well here; curiosity, learning, and ownership do.
We hire people who are already strong in their craft—the stretch at Convergence Group is navigating pace, complexity, and constant evolution.
