Lead Architect

• Practical experience in solution, application, data, or cloud architecture. Ideally in the development bespoke software solutions
• Ability to select and apply appropriate architectural patterns and techniques in the design and governance of solutions effectively balancing requirements to achieve successful outcomes.
• Understanding how to provide technical leadership to multi-disciplinary delivery teams and work effectively within complex domains and/or large organizations
• As a strong communicator with a collaborative approach to work, you’re able to quickly build trust, communicate effectively with both business and technical stakeholders, and explain complex technical concepts simply
• You embrace the chance to try new things, learn new skills and share your knowledge and experience with others.

• 25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 days with each year of service. 
• Generous family leave policies. 
• Access to an employer pension scheme, private medical services and Group Life Assurance. 
• A range of optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme. 
• A meaningful approach to evaluating your performance and providing feedback on your progress.
