We're looking for an Enterprise Solutions Architect to join our Technology Delivery & Advice team. This is an important role, where you'll co-create technology solutions that serve the needs of our digital projects, ensuring they're sustainable, secure, and aligned with the University's long term goals.

You'll work closely with people from across the University to understand their needs, guide decision-making, and co-create solutions that are meaningful. As well as shaping how technology is applied, you'll also help build our shared architecture standards — contributing to a consistent, scalable, and people-centred approach across our technology landscape.

- Hands-on experience with integration patterns, cloud architecture, data flow, and designing for security and resilience
- Established capability of a broad technology landscape, including cloud-based services, off-the-shelf systems, and custom applications
- A people-focused approach to technology — you're as comfortable listening and engaging as you are designing
- Applied knowledge of translating business requirements into scalable, sustainable architecture and effective solutions
- Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders
- A dedication to equity, accessibility, and inclusive design in digital services
- A curiosity about shaping architecture practices and well-developed skills in embracing sophisticated architecture standards, design governance, or technology strategy

This role is offered on a full time (36.5 hours per week) permanent basis. This role includes a market supplement of £8,000 in addition to the base salary scale.
