  • produce high-level and low-level architecture artefacts, ensuring quality and consistency at all times, and working closely with internal teams and third-party partners to deliver,
  • ensure solutions are designed with overall strategy, architecture and data management principles in mind – you’ll clearly understand how the solutions enable the delivery of our strategy,
  • work closely with IT colleagues, from understanding requirements to contributing to Agile delivery frameworks, collaborating effectively every step of the walk,
  • contribute to the ongoing evolution of Dogs Trust’s enterprise architecture strategy, always looking for opportunities to optimise and enhance processes.

Could this be you?

This role combines technical skills with excellent stakeholder engagement, so proven, hands-on experience as a solutions architect in a complex, multi-cloud environment is essential, as well as the ability to produce high-quality, logical solution designs. Simultaneously, you’ll need to be confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate and present complex solutions to non-technical stakeholders in meaningful language. A passion for dogs and the work we do is essential.
