We are seeking a Solution Systems Architect to join our client's growing Legal Technology team.
This role focuses on designing, supporting, and optimizing the Legal Technology stack, ensuring systems meet business requirements efficiently and effectively.
The Solution Architect will report into the Legal and Procurement Systems organization, part of the wider Enterprise Technology function. While core system development is handled primarily by vendors, this role will provide technical oversight, configuration, and solution design across multiple legal systems.
About the role:
The successful candidate will gain deep technical exposure across multiple legal enterprise platforms, as well as AI, at a time when legal technology is one of the fastest-transforming domains. It is an opportunity to build an exceptionally broad and future-relevant architecture skillset.
Our ideal hire will be someone who is ambitious and intellectually curious, the role offers a high degree of autonomy and the opportunity to solve problems across an entire legal technology landscape, rather than being confined to a single platform or silo.
Most importantly, we're not looking for someone who already knows every platform. We're looking for someone with strong Solution Architecture fundamentals, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly. Everything else can be taught on the job.
