Solutions Architect

A central government buying organisation is running discovery across six product areas and needs two solution architects to turn what discovery finds into something actionable: a current-state service blueprint, a prioritised set of opportunities, and a backlog a delivery team can pick up.

The client added one qualifier to this role and it's the one that matters: solution forward focus, technology agnostic. They're not looking for a platform specialist. If your CV spans several genuinely different stacks, that breadth is the thing being asked for here rather than something to apologise for.

• Turn discovery evidence into a current-state service blueprint across six product areas
• Shape prioritised opportunities out of what the evidence actually supports
• Contribute the solution view into an actionable backlog, working with the product managers
• Stay technology agnostic while the options are still open
• Work alongside senior technical architects, product managers and project managers in one multidisciplinary team

• Solutions architected across genuinely different technology stacks, not one vendor repeated
• A service blueprint, service model or end-to-end service architecture you produced
• Turning discovery evidence into prioritised opportunities
• Held Solution Architect titles. The programme is hiring senior technical architects separately, so the two aren't interchangeable here
• Experience inside a UK central government department, arm's length body or devolved administration
