Digital Architect Defence Specialist - AtkinsRealis

Overview

Shaping a smarter, more agile world!

AtkinsRéalis is growing its Digital Blueprint consulting team and is looking for Digital Architects with extensive experience of working with defence organisations. Is this you?

We are looking to build our multi-disciplinary team with people from business, technology consulting or ex-forces backgrounds who bring architecture expertise to the digital transformation of our defence clients. We welcome applications from creative and adaptable systems thinkers who want to be part of shaping the future, whilst expanding your own career potential.

When it comes to living your life, we want your role with AtkinsRéalis to be a key part of your personal journey. We have a collaborative inclusive team culture where people will help, guide and mentor you to help you grow. We pitch in and help colleagues because we succeed as a team. Our flexible and remote working policies are designed to support different personal priorities and needs.

As a Digital Architect in our Secure Government business unit you'll bring your specialist defence experience to a wide variety of digital transformation programmes. This could involve working with the armed services or defence industry companies and could provide opportunities for overseas working if that's what interests you. AtkinsRéalis provides significant investment in training and development: we want to help you be successful.

Your role

This role will particularly suit individuals with a Defence background who have developed a deep understanding of how Defence functions and how information supports decision-making across military headquarters, operational commands and front-line users. Successful candidates are likely to have experience within one or more of the J2, J3, J4, J5 or J6 domains and understand the realities of Defence operations, planning, intelligence, support or command-and-control environments.

Whilst Architecture experience is important, we are equally interested in individuals who can bridge the gap between operational users, senior decision-makers and technology delivery teams. We are looking for individuals who:

• Bring credibility with Defence stakeholders, based on a practical understanding of Defence operations and the challenges faced by military organisations, plus how operational, information and technology ecosystems interact.
• Are comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels, from front-line users and subject matter experts through to senior military officers and executive decision-makers.
• Can rapidly assimilate complex information, identify patterns and relationships, and apply lessons learnt from previous programmes, systems and operational environments.
• Possess strong critical-thinking and analytical skills, enabling them to challenge assumptions and develop evidence-based recommendations.
