The Company

My client is at the early stages of an exciting digital transformation. Looking at changes to business processes and their application landscape they're looking for an experienced Solutions Architect to join the team, helping to design and deliver the new IT services and software. They're implementing Salesforce and will be looking to compliment that with best of breed solutions to service the current, and future, range of business needs.

The Role

The Solutions Architect will work alongside an Enterprise Architect, guiding the development and management of a diverse portfolio of solutions. These include projects and products, systems (including applications, technologies, processes and information), shared infrastructure services and shared application services. You will need to understand the concepts of business goals, objectives and business outcomes, business capabilities, value-streams and business processes and their importance in solution architecture. The solutions architect provides the necessary leadership, analysis and design tasks related to support the development of technology solutions to ensure that solutions meet business needs and align with architectural governance and standards.

With an understanding of Salesforce, strong architectural design skills and experience working on integration solutions you'll play a key role in building up the business systems, allowing data to flow through applications, into a clean and clear strategy. You should be able to liaise closely with the technical teams, defining details of the integration platform, and also wider business allowing them to see the benefits of the transformation.

The Person

Ideal candidates will have a broad range of experience including exposure to;

Salesforce
Mulesoft or other integration tools
Architectural design practices such as TOGAF
Data architecture, data lakes or data warehouses

This would be the perfect mix of skills and there is a good level of flexibility around this and candidates with technical skills in Mulesoft & Salesforce but limited architectural experience, or good knowledge of data architecture and have worked on integration projects will definitely be considered.
Candidates will need to be able to work from the office 3 days per week.
