DIRECTOR

• *Key responsibilities**

• Lead discovery to clarify scope, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and NFRs.
• Define solution options and recommend an approach with clear trade\-offs (cost, time, risk, complexity).
• Produce and maintain solution architecture across applications, integrations, data, and infrastructure.
• Ensure alignment to enterprise architecture principles, reference architectures, and technology standards.
• Embed security\-by\-design, privacy, and control requirements; support risk and governance approvals.
• Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and vendors to translate architecture into epics/stories and delivery increments.
• Provide architecture assurance during build (design reviews, pattern guidance, resolving technical blockers).
• Drive operational readiness: monitoring, logging, support model, DR/BCP, and go\-live criteria.

• *Key deliverables (typical)**

• **Solution Architecture Document (SAD)** and/or **High\-Level Design (HLD)**
• **Integration design**: API contracts, interface specs, sequence diagrams, error handling patterns
• **Data design artefacts**: conceptual/logical data model, data flows, lineage, retention considerations
• **Non\-functional requirements pack**: availability, performance, scalability, security, observability, resilience
• **Deployment architecture**: cloud/on\-prem/hybrid topology, network zones, CI/CD approach, IaC outline
• **Security artefacts**: threat model, IAM approach, encryption/key management approach, security controls mapping
• **Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)** and **risk/issue/decision logs**
• **Operational readiness pack**: monitoring/alerting, runbooks, support handover, DR plan and test approach
• **Estimates and roadmap inputs**: high\-level sizing, cost model, migration approach (if applicable)

• *Key skills (selection criteria)**

• *Architecture \& design**

• End\-to\-end solution design across application, integration, data, and infrastructure layers
• Strong grasp of patterns: microservices, event\-driven architecture, API\-first, integration patterns
• Ability to define and validate NFRs and translate them into design choices **Cloud \& platforms**
• Hands\-on architecture experience with **AWS/Azure/GCP** (at least one)
• CI/CD concepts and environment strategy (dev/test/stage/prod), Infrastructure as Code

• *Security \& resilience**

• Threat modelling and risk\-based decision\-making
• Producing solution design documents and mandatory artefacts.
• API design (REST/gRPC), exposure to SaaS solutions, and AI governance are essential.
• Data modelling fundamentals, data quality and governance awareness **Delivery \& stakeholder management**
• Strong communication: can explain complex designs to engineers and senior stakeholders
• Experience working in Agile delivery, influencing without authority, and managing cross\-team dependencies
• Pragmatic decision\-making: balancing ?right? architecture with delivery pace (?perfect is the enemy of shipped?)

• *Experience (typical)**

• Proven experience delivering solution architecture for medium\-to\-large initiatives in complex environments
• Experience in regulated industries (e.g., financial services) is beneficial
