Solution Architect in Walsall, West Midlands

Senior Solution Architect - Birmingham (Hybrid 2/3 days per week onsite)

Greenfield opportunity | Salesforce | AWS | Integration Architecture

I'm working on an exciting opportunity for an experienced Enterprise / Senior Solution Architect to join a growing technology business and help establish its enterprise architecture capability from the ground up.

This is a genuine build opportunity. You'll play a key role in transforming the company's technology architecture, moving away from bespoke implementations towards a more modular, scalable and repeatable approach.

The focus will be on re-architecting the core platform into modular, commercially viable components, alongside bringing greater structure and control to the wider technology estate.

Key responsibilities:

• Define the target architecture, breaking the core platform into modular, scalable and reusable components.

• Design API-led integration solutions and reusable connectors that can be productised commercially.

• Challenge existing technology and vendor strategies, ensuring solutions align with wider business and commercial objectives.

• Lead solution design from the outset of new opportunities, setting the architectural direction and guiding technical teams through delivery.

• Drive standardisation and repeatability across implementations, supporting a move towards squad-based delivery.

• Provide enterprise architecture oversight across the wider technology estate.

• Work closely with customers and prospects on pre-sales, solution design and technical engagements.

• Mentor and develop existing architects and technical consultants across international teams.

What are they looking for?

• Senior Enterprise and/or Solution Architecture experience, ideally having built an architecture capability from scratch.

• Strong Salesforce architecture experience and commercial understanding of the ecosystem.

• Hands-on AWS architecture experience.

• Integration platform experience across Workato, Boomi and/or MuleSoft.

• Strong understanding of API-led architecture, modular design and platform integration.

• Experience modularising or productising technology platforms for commercial scalability.

• Commercially minded, with experience in pre-sales and customer-facing solution design.

• Excellent communication skills, able to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable: SaaS, product-led technology or BPO experience, alongside exposure to PE-backed environments and squad-based delivery models.

Why consider it?

A fantastic opportunity to shape enterprise architecture from the ground up, with real influence over technology strategy, product development and commercial direction. You'll have the chance to move beyond traditional solution design and play a key role in building a scalable architecture function for the future.
