Solution Architect

Leading Financial Services Organisation | Global Role | Significant Transformation Agenda

If you're a Solution Architect who enjoys solving complex business problems, influencing technology direction, and working at enterprise scale, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

We're partnered with a leading global Financial Services organisation seeking a Solution Architect to join a high-performing architecture function responsible for shaping the future of a business that supports millions of customers, investors and corporate stakeholders worldwide.

This is a genuinely broad role, offering the chance to work across a diverse technology estate spanning customer-facing platforms, core business applications, data services, integrations and cloud technologies. You'll partner with senior business and technology leaders to turn strategic objectives into practical, scalable, secure solutions that deliver real business value.

Rather than simply reviewing designs, you'll play a key role in driving technology decisions, influencing roadmaps, reducing complexity, modernising legacy platforms and helping shape the long-term architecture strategy of a globally recognised 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.
