Transform Digital Services with your Technical Architecture expertise

Are you an experienced Architect ready to shape enterprise-scale solutions that make a genuine difference? Join a leading Technology Consultancy where architectural excellence meets purposeful innovation.

The Opportunity

Step into a role where your architectural vision directly influences critical digital services across government, healthcare, and mission-driven organisations. You'll design and deliver sophisticated technical solutions that balance innovation with pragmatism, working on projects that genuinely matter.

You'll be part of a collaborative architecture practice where knowledge-sharing is Embedded in the culture, and your professional growth is actively supported through exposure to diverse challenges and expert colleagues.

What You'll Do

Design for Impact
Define robust software architectures using proven patterns and modern approaches, creating detailed designs that power large-scale enterprise applications aligned to real business needs.

Lead Through Influence
Guide multidisciplinary delivery teams to bring your architectural vision to life, ensuring solutions are performant, maintainable, and user-focused.

Drive Quality Standards
Navigate architecture governance processes and contribute to evolving assurance frameworks, ensuring designs meet quality attributes and non-functional requirements.

Innovate Responsibly
Evaluate emerging technologies and patterns, introducing innovations that deliver measurable value to projects and stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

Core Technical Capabilities

You don't NEED "Technical Architect" on your CV, but you do need to demonstrate architectural thinking and delivery. We're looking for evidence that you:

• Design and implement technical solutions for modern, enterprise-scale systems using effective patterns and appropriate technologies
• Take ownership of architectural designs from conception through to live service
• Possess deep knowledge of software development practices, programming languages, and design methodologies, and know when to apply each
• Translate business requirements into implementable components that deliver tangible outcomes
• Champion non-functional requirements and architectural quality attributes

Consultancy Mindset

Technical expertise alone isn't enough. We need Architects who can:

• Build trusted relationships across business and technical stakeholders, creating alignment around technical direction
• Apply structured problem-solving approaches to complex challenges
• Lead collaboratively, bringing teams along through influence rather than authority
• Mentor and develop colleagues, sharing knowledge generously
• Stay current with technology trends while maintaining practical focus

Valuable Additional Experience

While not essential, the following would strengthen your application:

• Familiarity with architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman, Open Agile Architecture, or similar)
• Experience delivering digital services within UK Government standards, including Service Manual guidance, Agile delivery approaches, and Service Assessments
• Understanding of user-centred design principles and accessibility standards (WCAG)
• Practical knowledge of DevOps practices and service management

If you don't have all of this, don't let that stop you applying - support and development are available.

Interview Process

Your first interview will explore how you approach architecture, deliver business outcomes, and engage stakeholders. If successful, you'll be invited to a second stage where you'll develop and present a technical proposal based on a realistic case study.
