Digital Solution Architect

Are you looking for a company with a great culture and the freedom to be innovative? Do you want to work on cutting-edge projects, in an environment where you can express your opinions without fear of repercussion? My client is seeking an individual who wants to take part in the development of new technologies, while working closely with other teams.

The Digital Solution Architect (DSA) is responsible for the design of digital solutions and integration components within the MCG enterprise infrastructure. The DSA will collaborate with all other technology and solution disciplines to define Digital technology objectives, assess solution options and devise architectural solutions that achieve both strategic goals set by the Group Digital and Programme teams. The DSA will ensure all governing controls are applied in the design of solutions and will model them in the appropriate Architecture repository.
