We are working with a major enterprise organisation seeking an accomplished Big Data Enterprise Solution Architect to join its technology function and play a key role in shaping the future of its digital and data architecture.
This is an exciting opportunity for a technically strong, commercially minded architect to influence enterprise-wide technology strategy, lead complex solution design and support a significant transformation agenda spanning cloud, big data, integration and emerging AI capabilities.
The Role
You will take ownership of architectural direction across a range of strategic technology initiatives, translating business objectives into robust, scalable and secure solutions. Working closely with business leaders, product owners, engineering teams and external technology partners, you will ensure that architecture decisions support both immediate delivery requirements and longer-term enterprise objectives.
Key areas of responsibility will include:
- Leading the design of complex, end-to-end enterprise solutions across data platforms, cloud infrastructure, integration and digital services.
- Defining solution blueprints, architectural roadmaps, technical standards and non-functional requirements to support future business growth.
- Driving the development of modern data architectures, including real-time processing, distributed data environments and event-driven solutions.
- Providing architectural leadership across cloud adoption, platform modernisation and enterprise integration initiatives.
- Supporting the introduction of AI, Generative AI and agentic capabilities, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and aligned with responsible AI principles.
- Establishing and maintaining architectural governance, ensuring technology solutions align with enterprise standards, security requirements and strategic roadmaps.
- Evaluating new technologies, platforms and third-party solutions, providing recommendations on technical suitability, cost, risk and long-term value.
