We’re looking for 2 experienced Senior Solutions Architects to join a major transformation programme within Financial Services.

This is a genuinely end-to-end role. You’ll work with the business to understand processes and requirements, translate these into solution designs, and take them through to technical design and handover to engineering teams.

What we’re looking for

• Strong end-to-end Solution Architecture experience.
• Excellent Microsoft Azure background with clear, hands-on examples.
• UK Retail Banking experience – Mortgages andamp; Savings would be ideal.
• Experience delivering within large-scale, structured transformation programmes.
• Ability to translate business processes and functional requirements into technical solutions.
• Strong understanding of integration, event-driven architecture, NFRs, resilience, performance and architecture patterns.
• Experience creating architecture artefacts and handing designs over to engineering teams.
• Confident communicator who can work effectively across Business Analysts, business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Evidence of Solution Architecture leadership and the ability to work independently in complex environments.

You’ll need to demonstrate genuine architectural ownership from business requirement → functional design → technical design → engineering delivery.

If you’re an experienced Solutions Architect with strong Azure and UK Retail Banking experience and can become available quickly, we’d love to hear from you.
