Solutions Architect

Solution Architect | Enterprise FMCG & Supply Chain Systems

Location: Bristol (Hybrid - 2 days/week in-office)

Contract Type: 1-2 Year Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) (Day-rate contract potentially considered)

We are headhunting on behalf of a beloved household UK brand based near Bristol, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation.

They are embarking on a major technology modernization journey across their enterprise landscape and need a hands‑on, broad‑scope Solution Architect to shape and drive the design. You won’t be locked into a single niche here, this is a wide‑reaching role spanning enterprise systems, complex data integrations, operational processes, and supply chain logistics.

• Drive Enterprise Architecture: Lead the design and delivery of scalable tech solutions across core operational business areas (ERP, Supply Chain, Logistics, Data).
• Bridge Tech & Business: Translate complex business requirements from supply chain and manufacturing teams into resilient architectural blueprints.
• Data & Integration Management: Architect seamless data pipelines and integration strategies to connect legacy infrastructure with modern cloud/SaaS platforms.
• Stakeholder Ownership: Work closely with C-suite stakeholders, operational leaders, and 3rd-party vendors to align technology with strategic business goals.

• Proven Track Record: Solid experience as a Solution Architect within FMCG, Manufacturing, Logistics, or Supply Chain environments.
• Broad Architectural Scope: Comfortable working across applications, data integration, security, and infrastructure (not just a pure software or pure cloud architect).
• Stakeholder Impact: Pragmatic, persuasive, and able to demystify technical decisions for non-technical business leaders.

• Hybrid Model: 2 days/week on-site near Bristol for critical collaboration; 3 days/week remote.
• Engagement: Offered primarily as a 1 to 2-year Fixed-Term Contract, providing medium‑term stability on high‑impact projects. (Flexible day-rate contract options may be explored for the right candidate).
