Technical Architect

Technical Architect | Azure, Data & AI | Public Sector

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Architect to support a major public sector transformation programme during an initial Discovery phase.

This is not a role where the technology solution has already been decided. You’ll work with the customer to understand their current technical and data landscape, assess options, and recommend the most appropriate future architecture.

The programme has a strong data focus, so we’re particularly interested in Technical Architects with extensive experience across Azure, modern data platforms, and AI-enabled solutions.

What you’ll be doing

• Assessing current systems, services, integrations and architecture
• Understanding how data moves across a complex technology estate
• Leading technical options assessments across multiple use cases
• Defining and evaluating potential future-state architectures
• Assessing different technology approaches, including AI-enabled options
• Producing clear architectural recommendations and the rationale behind them
• Working closely with Data Architecture, Service Design, BA and Delivery colleagues
• Providing independent technical advice rather than implementing a predetermined solution

We're looking for experience across

• Technical / Solution Architecture
• Microsoft Azure
• Microsoft Fabric
• Data-heavy enterprise architectures
• Systems and data integration
• Azure AI / AI Foundry exposure
• Discovery and technical options assessments
• Public sector or complex regulated environments

Previous experience within financial regulation or other regulatory environments would be particularly useful, but isn't essential.

SC Clearance is essential.

Day Rate: £600 per day

Contract: Initial Discovery engagement

Duration: c. 3-4 months initially

Start: Short-notice availability preferred

Sector: Public Sector / Regulatory
