You will lead the architecture function day to day, coaching and guiding Solution Architects, reviewing migration approaches and escalating or resolving complex technical issues that span multiple services. You will remain close enough to the technical details to challenge assumptions, support difficult decisions and intervene where architecture, integration, infrastructure, security or operational readiness creates delivery risk. You will work closely with programme leadership, discovery teams, Delivery Managers, Migration Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers, AWS specialists, managed hosting specialists, UK Government network and security teams, service owners and technical SMEs. You will act as the senior architecture point of coordination across these groups and provide clear technical direction to the wider architecture team. Key Responsibilities Lead, coordinate and provide technical direction to the team of Solution Architects working across a squad.

Experience interpreting service discovery information and converting it into practical migration plans using defined patterns or repeatable migration approaches. Experience managing complex upstream and downstream dependencies and re-establishing connectivity across firewalls, networks and hosting boundaries. Experience providing technical leadership to Solution Architects and engineering teams through migration planning, execution, testing, cutover and rollback. Ability to work in technical detail, investigate difficult service-specific problems and make pragmatic decisions under delivery constraints. Broad exposure to legacy enterprise estates.
