Role Overview
Half this job is architecture. The other half is convincing senior stakeholders that you're right, and bringing them with you.
£75 - £80k, permanent, hybrid with a few days a month at the office in Yorkshire. A senior solution architect seat at a large national not-for-profit, fully cloud and Microsoft-led, where new regulation means the architecture work matters now.
What's in it for you
- A senior seat in a small architecture team, reporting to the Head of Architecture
- Real breadth: data, application, technology and security across a large SaaS-heavy estate
- Influence on roadmaps and investment, not just project designs
- Work with a purpose: the systems you shape support frontline services for the public
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Setting the high-level design, options and decision records, with engineers owning detailed design and build
- Governing how suppliers and SaaS products fit the target architecture
- Shaping the move of a large legacy integration estate onto a modern cloud platform
- Supporting new system selections from an architecture perspective
- Working with senior business and technology leaders on roadmaps and investment planning
What you'll need
- A track record of influencing senior non-technical stakeholders and winning support for a recommended approach
- Established solution architecture experience at HLD level, setting design for others to build
- Breadth across data, application, technology and security architecture, rather than depth in a single stack
- Strong architecture documentation: HLDs, options, decision records, C4-style views
