Overview

The Associates Global is seeking an experienced Solution Architect to join the Enterprise Architecture team of a well-established organisation undergoing major transformation. The company has very low staff turnover and the relatively newly stood up Architecture practice has strong sponsorship. This is an opportunity to shape and support the delivery of effective, sustainable technology solutions across a diverse and business-critical environment. This Hybrid role (2 days in) in London requires an excellent communicator with gravitas. Stakeholders span the organisation (including SLT) and external providers. You will help shape a business that is exciting and uplifting in what they do.

Working alongside enterprise architects, engineers, and business leaders, you’ll ensure that solutions are scalable, strategically aligned, and grounded in real-world delivery. You’ll mentor Technical Leads, providing architectural guardrails while enabling autonomy and innovation across the CIO function.

PLEASE NOTE: The hiring team on this role prefer 2-3 page CVs tailored to the Job description, noting relevant experiences that align. Extensive CVs will not be considered.

The Opportunity

As a Solution Architect, you will translate functional and non-functional requirements into robust architecture designs that align with broader enterprise strategy and architectural principles. Your work will influence the successful implementation of systems across digital, data, and operational domains.

You’ll operate in a collaborative and forward-thinking Enterprise Architecture team that supports a wide technology stack spanning Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, and MuleSoft, across both cloud and on-premise platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end technology solutions that align with strategic goals and architectural standards
• Develop solution architectures that are efficient, scalable, and practical to implement
• Collaborate with Technical Leads, providing mentoring, guidance, and support to enable high-quality, independent delivery
• Create architecture artefacts, including system designs, data flows, integration models, and technical specifications
• Ensure architectural outputs support delivery across both agile and waterfall project environments
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of architecture principles, patterns, and templates
• Support the evolution and governance of architectural practices and standards

Skills and Experience

• Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering complex IT solutions in a pragmatic, business-aligned way
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences
• Background in high-volume transactional systems and modernising or replacing legacy platforms
• Experience designing for cloud-native environments and migrating workloads to the cloud
• Familiarity with Oracle, Microsoft, cloud platforms, APIs, and web services
• Knowledge of architectural practices such as layered abstraction, stakeholder mapping, and the use of modelling tools
• Experience operating within architecture governance frameworks
• Comfortable working across both agile and traditional project environments
• Relevant certifications such as TOGAF, ArchiMate, Azure Architect, or MuleSoft Architect are highly desirable

If you are a Solutions Architect looking to work on major transformation in a business that is collaborative by nature and where you are truly valued as an individual, then this is definitely a role worth considering.

Having worked with this business for a number of years and placing people across the organisation, it is evident their culture is brilliant. Their work environment is demanding insofar as taking on technical challenges and requiring people to deliver collaboratively; they celebrate their wins as a team rather than a promotion race.
