Client & Role
This is an opportunity for an experienced Solution Architect to join a large, complex enterprise environment in a broad, generalist role with a strong Enterprise Architecture and consulting focus. Working early in the investment lifecycle, you’ll take high-level business requirements and investment cases and translate them into clear systems, technology and architectural direction.
A key focus will be discovery understanding the current environment, validating assumptions and navigating incomplete information to determine the right way forward. You’ll work across a varied technology landscape spanning on-premise, cloud and SaaS solutions, engaging with business, technical and vendor stakeholders to understand how different systems and dependencies fit within the wider enterprise.
