About the Role
As a Technical Architect, you will operate across services, programmes, and portfolios, collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure the quality and consistency of architecture decisions. You will guide the use of Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio, AI services, and Azure, shaping guardrails and reference architectures. The role also involves professional leadership, coaching architects, and improving architecture practice.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical architecture across the Application Platforms portfolio, connecting service-level decisions to organisational strategy, enterprise architecture, and technology roadmaps.
- Own or assure complex and high-risk designs covering Power Platform, automation, AI agents, Microsoft 365, Azure, APIs, data services, and bespoke applications.
- Define and maintain reference architectures, principles, standards, and reusable patterns to enable delivery while managing risks.
- Chair or lead proportionate design assurance, record significant decisions, and ensure clear ownership and treatment plans for exceptions, risks, technical debt, and dependencies.
- Advise leaders on architectural options, benefits, costs, constraints, and consequences, translating technical complexity into actionable decisions.
- Shape platform and supplier choices with commercial, financial, and service-management colleagues, considering whole-life cost, licensing, exit, portability, and supportability.
- Work across organisational boundaries to resolve conflicting needs, align roadmaps, and manage dependencies between platforms, shared services, and delivery teams.
- Use evidence from delivery, operations, risk, and technology trends to improve strategy, resilience, and investment priorities.
- Coach solution architects and strengthen the architecture community through peer review, knowledge sharing, and consistent professional practice.
Requirements
- Substantial experience leading technical architecture for complex, high-risk, or organisation-wide digital services and technology portfolios, specifically in Microsoft products.
- Ability to set technical direction across multiple teams and make or assure decisions balancing user need, strategy, security, delivery feasibility, cost, and service sustainability.
- Experience designing and governing cloud-based application ecosystems, including enterprise platforms, APIs, identity, data, and integration services.
- Ability to communicate architecture clearly to technical and non-technical audiences and build support for high-impact decisions where evidence, risk, or stakeholder views conflict.
- Strong understanding of architecture governance, including decision records, standards, risk-based assurance, service assessments, and management of exceptions and technical debt.
- Commercial awareness, including the architectural implications of sourcing, licensing, suppliers, contracts, portability, and exit strategies.
- Experience shaping strategy and roadmaps that connect technical, user, operational, and organisational perspectives.
- Evidence of coaching architects, developing professional capability, and improving practice across teams or communities.
- Must have or be willing to undergo Security Clearance.
Skills
- Architecture experience with Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365, Azure, and associated governance and integration patterns.
- Experience assuring AI-enabled or agentic solutions, including grounding, tool access, human oversight, evaluation, monitoring, and responsible AI controls.
- Understanding of regulated, justice, public-sector, or security-conscious environments.
- Relevant architecture, cloud, or Microsoft certifications, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience contributing to portfolio investment decisions, technology strategy, or enterprise architecture.
