This is a rare opportunity for a Solution Architect to step into a high-impact transformation role where you'll help design and uplift release and environment capability within a large, complex organisation.
The business is undergoing a significant shift from a traditional monolithic platform to a multi SaaS ecosystem, creating a genuine greenfield environment.
 
As a result, they are looking for an experienced solution architect who can bring real-world transformation experience and help shape what "good" looks like moving forward.
 
The Role:
Sitting within a broader transformation program, you'll take ownership of designing and guiding release management and environment frameworks across a complex delivery landscape.
You'll work closely with internal teams and external vendors to ensure releases are well-governed, coordinated, and scalable, while also helping define the target state architecture.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing end-to-end release and environment management frameworks
• Establishing governance, processes, and best practice standards
• Coordinating across a multi-vendor ecosystem (10-15+ vendors)
• Managing dependencies, release sequencing, and risk
• Providing architectural direction across both technical and process domains
• Aligning internal stakeholders and vendors to a cohesive release approach

The Environment:

• Moving from a single platform to a distributed, multi SaaS landscape
• Managing multiple vendors delivering changes at different cadences
• Still defining its target state, with architect playing a key role in shaping it
• Running parallel initiatives that feed into the broader ecosystem

About You:
You're a Solution Architect who has been through similar transformations and can bring practical insight, not just theory.

• Experience designing or uplifting release and environment management capabilities
• A background working in complex, multi-vendor enterprise environments
• Exposure to large-scale transformation programs
• Strong understanding of release governance, dependency management, and coordination
• The ability to influence stakeholders and align multiple vendors

Highly regarded:

• Experience in large or global organisations
• Exposure to SaaS-heavy or vendor-driven environments
• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts
