Job Specifications

Manchester (Hybrid) | £77,000 | Solution Architect

Harvey Nash have partnered with a UK-based regulator to appoint Solution Architect. This role sits at the heart of their infrastructure and cloud transformation, shaping platforms that support high-stakes, business-critical services across a hybrid Azure environment.

This is not a hands-off design post. They want someone who can set the strategy, get the HLD right, drive it through TDA, then drop into the LLD and delivery phase to ensure it lands properly. Proper architecture, done the way it used to be - designed well, governed well, implemented well.

You’ll work across Azure, on-prem enterprise infrastructure, automation, security controls and compliance-heavy environments. It’s a mix of strategic influence, technical authority and technical delivery.

Key areas of the role include designing secure hybrid cloud solutions, guiding the technical direction of major programmes, being the SME for Azure and core infrastructure, and producing high quality architectural artefacts that make delivery smoother for all involved.

Experience of interest:

Delivering large infrastructure projects in complex hybrid environments
Strong Azure background including IaC, Bicep, and automated deployments.
Deep understanding of on-prem technologies across VMware, networking, storage and servers
Scripting in PowerShell and BICEP, plus CI/CD exposure (GitHub, Octopus)
Experience presenting to TDA and steering technical decision-making
Ability to translate technical detail for mixed audiences
Strong stakeholder and team leadership abilities

What’s in it for you?

Salary up to £77,000
Hybrid working - attend the office roughly 1-2 monthly.
30+ days annual leave plus buy/sell option + bank holidays
Excellent pension options.
Flexible working, wellbeing support and L&D opportunities
+ Many more benefits.
