  • Technical leadership and coaching experience within architecture and the digital team.
  • Experience in working with business leaders to articulate required business outcomes and convert these into technical deliverables.
  • Energy, enthusiasm, and creativity in your practice, challenging the status quo and delighting stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to run workshops and drive decision-making across technical and non-technical individuals.
  • Broad experience in the technology industry with various architectural frameworks and styles.
  • A passion for technology and a commitment to continuous learning.
  • A self-starter who is well-organised and effectively manages their workload.
