  Leading current-state assessments and designing target architectures, landing zones and migration paths across AWS, Azure and GCP, including complex multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
• Workload placement and modernisation:
  Defining workload placement strategies and application modernisation patterns – from rehost through to re-platform and refactor – balancing cost, risk, performance and sovereignty.
• AI-ready architecture:
  Designing the platforms that make AI possible – data platforms, GenAI and agentic AI patterns, and the infrastructure choices that underpin them.
• From architecture to narrative:
  Translating technical choices into business language – facilitating client workshops and presenting architectural recommendations so they can be understood, funded and sold back into the business.
• Solution assurance and bids:
  Assuring solutions through delivery and bringing technical depth and credibility to proposals, bids and proposition development.

lead the technical agenda across engagements, assure solutions, coach others, and contribute to shaping and winning new work.

• Breadth across infrastructure, networking, security and data, with depth in cloud migration and application modernisation patterns.
• The consulting-architect combination: technical credibility paired with the communication skills to whiteboard, run workshops and present with impact at senior levels.
• Experience designing for AI and data workloads – or a demonstrable interest in generative and agentic AI architectures – is highly desirable.
• Experience in consulting or client-facing roles, with the ability to be successful in a matrixed organisation.
• TOGAF or equivalent architecture frameworks are nice to have
• Experience working with external stakeholders with the ability to build trusted relationships
