As a TA&S Architect / Enterprise Solution Architect, you will

• Act as the architectural authority for the program, reviewing, challenging, and approving solution designs through the Design Authority process.
• Ensure solution designs, platform selections, and implementation approaches align with enterprise architecture principles, platform standards, security requirements, and target-state architecture.
• Provide architectural guidance to strategic use-case working groups from initial definition through implementation and delivery.
• Define and support solution architecture patterns for exposure management, vulnerability remediation, AI-assisted security capabilities, and resilience initiatives.
• Drive architecture consistency across workstreams by promoting platform reuse, simplification, and standardisation.
• Engage early in use-case definition to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and operationally sustainable.
• Evaluate architectural trade-offs, technical risks, dependencies, and technical debt, providing recommendations to stakeholders and governance bodies.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, product owners, cybersecurity teams, and enterprise architects to ensure alignment on solution designs.
• Contribute to target-state architectures, reference architectures, technical standards, and platform guardrails.
• Document architectural decisions, recommendations, and approvals to maintain governance and traceability.
• Ensure approved solutions comply with applicable regulatory, security, resilience, and risk management requirements.
