  • Supporting programme delivery activities including technical readiness, cutover planning, go-live and hypercare support.
  • Coordinating technical decision-making across multiple suppliers and stakeholders, managing dependencies and mitigating risks throughout the programme lifecycle.
  • Establishing and maintaining a robust Business-as-Usual (BAU) support model with clear ownership, escalation paths and operational procedures.
  • Driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system performance, reliability and supportability.
  • Overseeing security, data governance, compliance and access management across the technology landscape.
  • Owning the future architecture roadmap and identifying opportunities for cloud transformation, application modernisation and AI-driven innovation.

As a Solution Architecture Lead, you will have:

  • Significant experience in Solution Architecture within complex enterprise environments.
  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft technologies, cloud platforms and SaaS solutions.
  • Proven experience delivering enterprise application, cloud and integration architecture solutions.
  • Extensive understanding of enterprise integration patterns, APIs and interconnected business systems.
  • Experience producing High-Level Designs (HLDs) and reviewing detailed technical designs.
  • Previous experience leading, mentoring and developing technical teams.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving and decision-making capabilities.
  • Experience working with third-party software vendors, implementation partners and managed service providers.
  • The ability to communicate complex technical concepts in a clear, business-focused manner.


It would be great if you also have:

  • Experience with Workday HR and Payroll.
  • Knowledge of enterprise integration technologies and middleware platforms.
  • Exposure to AI technologies, Microsoft AI Services or enterprise AI programmes.
  • Experience operating within architecture governance frameworks and technology assurance processes.
