Enterprise Architect - ANO

Enterprise Architect - Autonomous Network Operations (ANO) | B2B Contract | 12 Months Contract (Extension Likely) | £500-550 per day

I'm looking for a highly experienced Enterprise Architect to join a major long-term transformation programme within the telecommunications space.
This is a 12-month B2B contract with extension highly likely, focused on the evolution of traditional network operations towards intelligent, automated and autonomous network environments.

We need someone with genuine Telco architecture experience - this isn't a generalist Enterprise Architect position.

Key experience:
Enterprise/Principal Architecture
Strong Telecommunications background
OSS/BSS
5G Core, RAN & Transport Networks
CNF/VNF & cloud-native network architecture
Autonomous Network Operations (ANO)
Intent-based/closed-loop automation
Network orchestration & self-healing networks
GCP/Google Cloud architecture
AI-driven network optimisation

Experience with Network Digital Twins, Vertex AI, BigQuery, Spanner, Dataplex, TM Forum frameworks or Level 4/5 network autonomy would be a big advantage.

12-month B2B contract
Extension highly likely
Major telecommunications transformation programme

This is a genuinely niche search, so I'm particularly interested in speaking with Enterprise, Principal and Lead Architects who have come through the telecommunications/networking world.
