Solutions Architect
This is a great opportunity for a Solutions Architect to be responsible for delivering solution designs and architectures for key IT business initiatives, hosted both in the cloud and on-premises, considering re-use, scalability, and reliability in alignment with the businesses IT strategy and core values. (Home working available if required, though you will have to go into an office environment for meetings etc.)
As a Solutions Architect, you will oversee and lead the successful implementation of these designs and architectures by managing expectations and risks and ensuring the solution meets all business, functional and non-functional requirements while delivering on-time and in budget. You will act as a bridge and translator between technical and business audiences during solution planning, development and deployment.
