Senior Solutions Architect | 6-month contract | Up to £675/day | Hybrid, Swindon
A leading UK wealth management firm needs a hands-on Senior Solutions Architect to take defined initiatives in its Platform Value Stream from problem definition through to delivery.
The key details
- Rate: up to £675/day inside IR35, via umbrella
- Length: 6 months
- Location: hybrid, Swindon (2 days per week on site)
- Start: ASAP
The role
This is a delivery role. It has no people management and no architecture-practice leadership. You'll own the architecture for specific initiatives end to end:
- Get up to speed quickly on current state, requirements, constraints and open decisions
- Assess options and produce proportionate conceptual, logical and physical designs
- Take designs through governance and into delivery mobilisation
- Resolve technical decisions and dependencies across Product, Engineering, Data, Security, Infrastructure and third-party teams
- Hand over cleanly to permanent teams
You'll be judged on what gets delivered and adopted, not on the volume of documentation you produce.
What you'll need
- Recent solution architecture delivery in regulated financial services
- Hands-on design ownership, not just assurance or review
- Experience working within an established governance framework and architecture standards
- Comfort working with third-party delivery partners
- Ability to get to grips with an unfamiliar estate quickly
- Wealth, investment platform or Azure experience is a strong plus
