Solution Architect | Swindon (Hybrid) | £65,000 - £75,000
People Talent is partnering with a leading organisation undergoing significant investment across its technology landscape and digital capabilities. They’re looking for an experienced Solution Architect to help shape and deliver technology solutions that support the organisation’s wider strategy.
This is a broad architecture role where you’ll work closely with business stakeholders, BA teams, technical teams, and external partners. You’ll be responsible for taking business problems and requirements through to pragmatic, scalable solutions, while balancing functionality, security, performance, cost, and long-term sustainability.
You’ll also play an important role in architecture governance, producing solution designs, assessing different options, and helping shape standards and best practice across the organisation.
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.
