Your Role
As our Technical Architect, you will shape and govern the organisation’s technology landscape, ensuring that systems, platforms, and integrations are secure, scalable, and aligned with long-term strategic goals. Operating at the intersection of strategy and delivery, you will set technical direction, provide architectural leadership, and translate complex requirements into robust, future-ready solutions.
You will work hands-on across cloud engineering, development, integrations, and DevOps, driving best practice and empowering teams through consistent design standards, automation, and reusable delivery patterns. Your work will underpin the Institute’s digital transformation journey, enabling operational efficiency, business agility, and meaningful member and customer experiences.
Partnering closely with the Solution Architect, you will lead architecture reviews, embed governance and security principles, and support Dynamics 365, NAV, and CRM Administrators through advanced technical escalation. You will also champion innovation—horizon scanning emerging technologies, shaping technical roadmaps, and promoting continuous improvement across the digital function.
