About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Solution Architect to join an important transformation programme on a part-time basis. You will contribute significantly to cloud architecture design and delivery, working across public sector, financial services, and related regulated environments.

Your role will involve leading secure, scalable multi-cloud solutions (Azure, AWS), collaborating with diverse teams, and helping to shape technical strategy that aligns with business goals and regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and lead architectural design and implementation of complex cloud-based transformation projects.
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and stakeholders to ensure delivery aligns with business and compliance requirements.
Establish and promote reusable architecture frameworks, governance principles, and best practices, incorporating security architecture approaches such as SABSA where applicable.
Support disaster recovery and continuity strategies to ensure high availability.
Embed security and compliance considerations throughout architecture and delivery processes.
Assist in pre-sales activities including technical proposals and executive stakeholder engagement.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives around automation, monitoring, and operational readiness.

Candidate Profile

Experienced IT professional with extensive background in solution architecture and technical leadership (typically 15+ years in IT, with substantial senior architecture or equivalent leadership experience).
Proven experience delivering cloud migration and modernisation projects across public sector, financial or similarly regulated industries.
Skilled in building solutions using Azure, AWS, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM), and DevOps methodologies.
Familiarity with security architecture frameworks, including practical application of SABSA principles, alongside other regulatory and compliance standards (e.g. GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO).
Strong awareness of risk management and embedded security throughout the solution lifecycle.
Comfortable managing distributed teams and engaging effectively with senior technical and business stakeholders.
Security clearance experience is a plus but not mandatory.
Flexible and comfortable with part-time working arrangements.

Benefits

Competitive day rate of £625 - 675 per day inside IR35.
Flexible working hours to support work-life balance.
Exposure to high-impact projects spanning public sector and financial services.
Remote or hybrid working options available.

To apply, please submit your CV highlighting relevant architecture experience and your availability for a 6-month part-time engagement.
