Salary: c.£75,000
Why Apply?
Join a professional services business within a major global group as its first dedicated Solutions Architect, taking ownership of the architecture behind its finance decision platforms for the property market. This is a brand-new role, not a replacement. You'll be the go-to architect for the business, translating business needs into technical solutions and setting the blueprint for what the development team builds. You'll have support from the group's Lead Solutions Architect.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the sole Solutions Architect for the business unit, taking ownership of its technology and architecture.
- Work with stakeholders across the business to understand their challenges and establish clear requirements.
- Work closely with the development team to understand their capability and tech stack, and design solutions they can deliver.
- Produce specifications, wireframes, and architecture diagrams for the development team to build from.
- Help shape how architecture is governed, maintained, and looked after across the business.
- Build strong relationships with senior leaders and represent architecture at a senior level.
- Collaborate with the group's wider architecture function to align standards and best practice.
