Job description

Who are we?

The work we do matters!

Lead architecture capability and innovation, mentoring architects, strengthening the architecture community, and identifying opportunities to adopt emerging technologies that deliver value while maintaining security, resilience and value for money.

Proven experience as a Solution Architect with a track record of delivering digital change that adds value to customers.
Proven ability to anticipate the full impact of implementing a Secure by Design approach into a complex estate.
Extensive and proven ability to work with discretion and capability in own area. Works effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team, working across boundaries and delegating where appropriate, adding value through strategic thinking.
