One of our large enterprise clients are seeking an experienced Solution Architect with a strong application architecture and optimisation background to join the team. This role is split evenly between application portfolio optimisation and hands-on solution architecture across active projects.

  • Lead strategic assessment of a large application portfolio, covering business fit, technical fit and TCO
  • Develop capability maps, value chain views and Gartner TIME matrix assessments to inform decisions
  • Identify application rationalisation, simplification and cost-optimisation opportunities, supported by clear transition roadmaps
  • Design end-to-end system and application architectures across hosting, databases, security, integration and middleware
  • Translate business requirements and processes into scalable, reliable and maintainable technical solutions
  • Produce high-level and low-level architecture designs, diagrams and supporting documentation
  • Apply cost optimisation, ROI thinking and enterprise architecture standards to all solution designs
  • Facilitate design workshops, architecture reviews and stakeholder discussions
  • Partner with business and technical stakeholders to influence outcomes, negotiate requirements and manage expectations

What we’re looking for

  • Proven experience as a Solution Architect, with a strong emphasis on application architecture
  • Demonstrated experience in application portfolio assessment, rationalisation or modernisation
  • Strong understanding of enterprise systems, integration patterns and cloud/on-prem platforms
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence at both business and technical levels
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on architectural delivery
