About the Role

The Generalist Solution Architect designs end-to-end, integrated technology solutions for complex business problems across the Group. This technology-agnostic role works across multiple domains, platforms, and programs, translating business requirements into secure, scalable, and supportable designs aligned with enterprise architecture principles. The role is mobile, supporting change across a broad portfolio and operating within the OpCo architecture function to shape local solutions while aligning with Group strategy.

Responsibilities

Design end-to-end solutions spanning applications, integrations, data, infrastructure, cloud, security, and operational considerations.
Structure complex business problems into clear solution options, making functional and non-functional requirements explicit and traceable.
Produce solution designs that are fit for purpose, proportionate, and aligned to enterprise standards without unnecessary complexity.
Operate across multiple business domains and technology areas, applying solution architecture skills rather than domain specialism.
Move flexibly between initiatives, supporting a portfolio of projects and programmes at different stages of delivery.
Integrate solutions across new and existing platforms, avoiding siloed or point-solution thinking.
Work with business and delivery teams to ensure requirements are complete, consistent, and technically viable.
Ensure solution designs meet agreed functional, non-functional, security, resilience, and operability requirements.
Actively manage and govern design deviations during delivery, balancing architectural integrity with practical delivery constraints.
Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and roadmaps, escalating or resolving non-compliance where required.
Collaborate with enterprise and domain architects to ensure local designs contribute positively to the wider technology landscape.
Build appropriate quality and assurance checkpoints into projects to ensure alignment is maintained through implementation.
Work closely with delivery teams to support build, test, and implementation activities from an architectural perspective.
Contribute to testing and solution validation, ensuring intended benefits and outcomes are realised.
Engage with suppliers and partners where solutions involve third-party products or services, evaluating and assuring their designs and deliverables.
Engage confidently with business, technology, and delivery stakeholders at all levels.
Communicate solution designs clearly, adapting detail and language to suit different audiences.
Operate as a trusted partner, balancing user needs, technical integrity, risk, and cost.

Requirements

Degree level education or equivalent professional experience.
Strong solution architecture capability across multiple technology domains.
Ability to structure ambiguity into clear, deliverable solution designs.
Proven stakeholder engagement and influencing skills in complex organisations.
Clear communication skills, both written and verbal.
Strong judgement, balancing architectural quality with delivery pragmatism.
Proven experience operating as a Solution Architect across diverse initiatives.
Experience designing solutions that span applications, integration, data, and infrastructure.
Experience working across multiple projects and programmes, rather than a single long-term domain.
Exposure to enterprise architecture standards and governance in large organisations.
Experience working in international or multi operating company environments (desirable).
