This newly created role will suit a senior Domain Architect who enjoys owning platform strategy, shaping future-state architecture and providing strong design governance across enterprise initiatives.
This is a platform and domain-focused architecture role (not a project-only solution architect position), with a strong emphasis on hybrid environments, governance and long-term roadmap ownership.
You will be responsible for the architecture and strategic direction of the organisation's compute, network/telecommunications and security platforms. You will work closely with delivery teams, security, and other architects to ensure solutions are well governed, future-proofed and aligned to enterprise strategy.
Key responsibilities

* Provide deep technical architecture leadership across infrastructure and platform domains.
* Review, assure and approve architecture and solution designs produced by delivery and project teams.
* Act as a key contributor to architecture governance forums and design review processes.
* Partner closely with information security teams to ensure compliance with security standards and controls.
* Monitor emerging technologies, industry trends and vendor roadmaps to inform future platform strategy and commercial decisions.
* Influence technology direction to support business strategy, scalability, resilience and cost optimisation.
What we're looking for
* Strong domain-level architecture experience across
compute, network/telecommunications and security
in complex hybrid environments.
* Proven experience creating and maintaining
platform and technology roadmaps
aligned to enterprise strategy.
* Experience using
Orbus iServer (Orbus Infinity)
and/or formal accreditation in
TOGAF and/or ArchiMate.
* Demonstrated experience operating in an
architecture governance and assurance
role, reviewing and approving other teams' designs.
* Strong understanding of vendor ecosystems and market trends, with the ability to future-proof platforms and support commercial and vendor negotiations.
* Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, able to work across architecture, engineering, delivery and senior leadership.
Why this role
* Newly created role with real influence over enterprise technology direction.
* High-visibility architecture and governance position
* Opportunity to shape and modernise core platforms in a large, complex environment.
* Extensive benefits.
