Solution Architect | Enterprise FMCG & Supply Chain Systems
Location: Bristol (Hybrid – 2 days/week in-office)
Contract Type: 1–2 Year Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) (Day-rate contract potentially considered)
The Opportunity
We are headhunting on behalf of a beloved household UK brand based near Bristol, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. They are embarking on a major technology modernization journey across their enterprise landscape and need a hands-on, broad-scope Solution Architect to shape and drive the design. You won’t be locked into a single niche here, this is a wide-reaching role spanning enterprise systems, complex data integrations, operational processes, and supply chain logistics.
What You’ll Do
- Drive Enterprise Architecture: Lead the design and delivery of scalable tech solutions across core operational business areas (ERP, Supply Chain, Logistics, Data).
- Bridge Tech & Business: Translate complex business requirements from supply chain and manufacturing teams into resilient architectural blueprints.
- Data & Integration Management: Architect seamless data pipelines and integration strategies to connect legacy infrastructure with modern cloud/SaaS platforms.
- Stakeholder Ownership: Work closely with C-suite stakeholders, operational leaders, and 3rd-party vendors to align technology with strategic business goals.
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.
