Hampshire County Council is looking for an IT Principal Architect to join our diverse and talented IT Delivery Team, helping us shape the future of our services and improve the lives of people across the county.

The Role:

As a senior member of the Delivery Architecture team, the Principal Architect is responsible for leading the design, assurance, and implementation of secure, resilient, and scalable cyber, infrastructure, and cloud solutions across a diverse and complex technology portfolio.

The role provides strategic architectural leadership, shaping technology direction and influencing key design decisions across multiple business and technology domains. Working closely with senior stakeholders, the Principal Architect ensures that solutions align with organisational objectives, architectural principles, and enterprise standards.

Acting as a recognised subject matter expert, the post holder will provide specialist guidance across a broad range of design domains, supporting the successful delivery of business and technology change. The role also carries responsibility for mentoring and developing Delivery Architects, fostering architectural excellence, knowledge sharing, and capability growth across the function.

A key aspect of the role is the establishment, maintenance, and governance of architecture standards, patterns, frameworks, and controls. The Principal Architect will champion best practice, ensure compliance with governance processes, and act as a role model for architects and technical specialists, promoting consistency, quality, and continual improvement across the department.

What you’ll do:

Design robust, scalable solutions built on enterprise‑class platforms
Deliver architecture and design documentation, ensuring alignment with standards
Identify risks, issues, and constraints throughout the project lifecycle
Work with technical and business stakeholders to shape projects from early stages
Support the development of business cases through technical input and solution modelling
Act as a trusted advisor across IT and the wider organisation
Apply your knowledge of new and emerging technologies to identify opportunities for improvement
Support the organisation during Local Government Reorganisation

What we’re looking for:

You will be a motivated, enthusiastic architect with:

A passion for architecture, design, and innovation
Proven experience delivering architectural solutions in fast‑paced environments
Strong presentation skills and the ability to explain complex ideas simply
The ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt to different ways of working
Strong problem‑solving skills and an aptitude for understanding business challenges
Experience in early‑stage technical shaping and project involvement
Excellent stakeholder‑management skills and the ability to work independently
A collaborative approach and enjoyment of team discussions and workshops
Senior‑level technical experience across similar IT domains

Why join us?
