We are looking for an experienced Lead Integration Architect to take ownership of integration architecture across a major transformation programme.
This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role for someone who can step into a complex programme, quickly understand the landscape, identify gaps and blockers, and drive architecture decisions through to resolution.
You will define how systems, applications and data connect across the organisation, working closely with engineering teams, business stakeholders, and third-party suppliers.
Experience:
- Strong Microsoft Azure architecture experience
- In-depth knowledge of Azure integration technologies
- API Management, ideally Apigee or similar
- Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns
- Experience integrating third-party platforms, enterprise systems, and data warehouses
- Knowledge of authentication protocols, certificates, encryption, and integration security
- Strong, hands-on integration architecture experience within Agile environments
- Experience operating at Lead or Principal Architect level
- Architecture-as-code, version control, and structured architecture repositories
- Experience using AI tools such as Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude to support architecture, analysis, and documentation
- Strong stakeholder management with the ability to challenge, influence and coordinate across technical, business, and supplier teams
- Proven experience delivering large-scale, complex transformation programmes
You will ideally have 5+ years' commercial technology experience, with Financial Services experience highly desirable. Retail insurance or regulated financial services experience would be a bonus.
This role would suit a proactive, pragmatic architect who is comfortable working with ambiguity, taking accountability and giving engineering teams the clear architectural direction they need to deliver.
