Solutions Architect - Insurance - Marsh in London

The Regional Solutions Architect role at Marsh offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of technology leadership within the Specialty business, operating in the complex and high-value London Market insurance environment. You will be a key player in transforming how technology is designed, delivered, and experienced, moving from traditional project delivery to an outcome‑driven, product‑led approach. This hands‑on role requires close collaboration with cross‑functional teams to create innovative, practical solutions that leverage AI and adhere to both global standards and UK‑specific market requirements. Your architectural decisions will have a direct impact on the success of major initiatives, shaping the future of Marsh's technology landscape.

What we will count on you to:

• Act as the UK design authority for Marsh Risk Technology, providing sign‑off on all significant initiatives before build.
• Own the technical approach for every major programme across the Specialty value stream and provide architecture guidance across the wider UK portfolio.
• Work within a product‑led, agile operating model, collaborating closely with TPMs, BAs, engineers, and product owners.
• Shape solution designs continuously from discovery through sprint planning to build, ensuring architecture is integral and practical.
• Lead the AI design agenda by designing platforms, integration patterns, and data flows that support AI capabilities in the Specialty business.
• Interface with global Enterprise Architecture to adopt standards beneficial to the UK business while protecting UK‑specific requirements.
• Play a central role in UK capability modelling, mapping applications against capabilities, scoring technology health, and influencing APM investment decisions.

What you need to have:

• Deep fluency in London Market placing platforms and integration patterns (Whitespace, PPL, API ecosystem).
• Strong knowledge of market messaging standards such as ACORD (MRC, AL3) and structured data initiatives like Blueprint Two.
• Experience with post‑bind and processing architecture including policy administration, endorsements, premium flows, and carrier settlement.
• Expertise in delegated authority system design, including cover holder onboarding, binding authority systems, and bordereaux processing.
• Understanding of Lloyd's market infrastructure (IMR, ECF, Xchanging/DXC, Lloyd's Digital Services) and regulatory submission pipelines.
• Familiarity with claims system architecture covering FNOL, claims management, advocacy workflows, and settlement processing.
• Proficiency in AI platform architecture including model deployment, feature stores, data pipelines, and responsible AI governance frameworks.

What makes you stand out?

• Hands‑on architect who actively shapes technology decisions rather than reviewing them post‑factum.
• Ability to work seamlessly in both agile sprint reviews and formal architecture review boards.
• Proven track record of designing solutions that are not only well‑architected but also successfully built and delivered.
• Leadership in integrating AI into solution design and using AI‑assisted tools in architectural practice.
