Marble Grange Group is delighted to be supporting a leading organisation in the search for an experienced Senior Solutions Architect.

This is an excellent opportunity for an architect who enjoys working across a broad technology landscape, solving complex business challenges and influencing strategic technology decisions.

The Role

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you’ll provide architectural leadership across a diverse technology environment, translating business objectives into robust, scalable and practical technology solutions.

You’ll work across the full architecture lifecycle — from understanding business and technical requirements through to defining current and target architectures, carrying out gap analysis, developing transition roadmaps and supporting delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate business requirements and objectives into effective solution architectures.
• Define current-state and target-state architectures across applications, platforms, data and technology.
• Conduct gap analysis to identify technology, capability and architectural gaps.
• Develop practical roadmaps and transition plans to move from current to target state.
• Produce solution designs, architectural blueprints, standards and technology roadmaps.
• Lead solution architecture from discovery and design through to implementation.
• Evaluate technology options, considering cost, risk, scalability, resilience and business value.
• Provide core solution architecture across applications, integration, APIs, data, cloud and infrastructure.
• Ensure solutions meet key non-functional requirements including security, performance, availability and maintainability.
• Identify architectural risks, dependencies and opportunities for technology improvement.
• Support architecture governance and alignment with wider enterprise standards.
• Work closely with Enterprise Architecture, engineering, security, data, product and delivery teams.
• Communicate architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Senior Solutions Architect or in a similar architecture role.
• Strong experience across multiple technologies, platforms and environments.
• Demonstrable experience with current and target-state architecture.
• Strong gap analysis, roadmap and transition planning capabilities.
• Solid understanding of core solution architecture principles and methodologies.
• Experience designing complex solutions across applications, integration, data and technology.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• Excellent communication skills at both technical and senior business levels.
• Strategic thinker with a pragmatic, outcome-focused approach.
• Ability to balance long-term architecture strategy with immediate delivery needs.
• Strong problem-solving skills, sound judgement and intellectual curiosity.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to play a key role in an organisation undergoing significant technology transformation, with the flexibility of a hybrid working model.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape target architectures, identify and close technology gaps, influence strategic decisions and help deliver solutions that create measurable business value.

Package

• Salary: up to £105,000 DOE
• Hybrid working
• Competitive benefits package
• Permanent opportunity
