Solution Architect - Innovation & Digital £84,000 (inc. cash allowance) + enhanced holiday + private medical Hybrid - typically 1-2 days per month in the office I'm working with a client of ours who are a well-established UK organisation investing heavily in their Innovation & Digital capability. This isn't a traditional architecture role sitting in governance or platform. This is greenfield. Experimentation. Prototyping. Turning ideas into real, live digital products that the business actually uses. You'll sit within a forward-thinking Architecture function that looks after products - not waterfall programmes, not static platforms - but genuine innovation. Around 30% of your time will be in the innovation labs space, working with stakeholders to shape ideas, challenge thinking, and build proof of concepts. Another 30% will see you taking the best of those ideas into full builds, working closely with agile development squads to get them over the line. This is as much about communication and influence as it is technical design. You'll be expected to challenge the business (constructively), articulate ideas clearly, and translate complex technical thinking into something commercial leaders can genuinely understand. They're doing some exciting things in the AI space too - from building their own secure internal chat capability through to AI-driven, compliance-focused transformation products. Gen AI is a big part of the experimentation pipeline, so whether you've delivered AI projects already or you have a solid grasp of the principles and infrastructure behind it, that curiosity and understanding is important. What you'll be doing You'll be at the front end of innovation - taking problem statements from across the business and turning them into tangible prototypes, MVPs and scalable digital products. You'll design and lead technical solutions in a cloud-first environment, collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure alignment to enterprise strategy, and stay hands-on enough to validate ideas quickly. You'll also stay involved post go-live - consulting with product teams to ensure what's been built is adopted, maintained and evolved properly. This isn't "design it and disappear". It's proper ownership. In your first year, the expectation is that you'll fully understand the business streams you support - both technically and commercially - becoming a trusted voice in that space. What they're looking for Experience as a Solution Architect or Technical Architect (or a Lead / Senior Developer who has stepped into architecture) Strong background in cloud solutions - AWS or Azure, they're flexible Proven experience delivering greenfield work, proof of concepts and MVPs Comfortable working in agile product environments Exposure to AI / Gen AI projects or a strong understanding of the principles Able to design compliant, production-ready solutions Strong stakeholder engagement skills - able to challenge and influence Confident presenting technical designs to both technical and non-technical audiences Creative mindset - enjoys experimenting and trying new approaches You don't need to be an Enterprise Architect living in governance frameworks all day. They want someone pragmatic, technically credible, and commercially aware. Someone who enjoys getting stuck in. The environment £84,000 Enhanced holiday - 28 days plus holidays Private medical Flexible hybrid working - typically twice a month in the office Core 9-5 but flexibility around start / finish times A mature team who trust people to manage their time The interview process is two stages - an initial Teams conversation with the Architecture leadership, followed by an in-person presentation where you'll design a solution and walk them through your thinking. Communication is absolutely key here. If you enjoy greenfield architecture, experimenting with AI and emerging tech, and working in an environment where you can genuinely influence the direction of digital products - this is well worth a conversation.

Energy storage is the most exciting area in energy today. Massive amounts of energy storage are required if renewable energy is to take its rightful place on the electric grid. Invinity provides an alternative to the most common type of battery, lithium-ion because the battery technology that works so well in our pockets doesn't work as well at the grid scale; it wears out, limits use, and even catches fire. Manufactured as a standardised product in a factory, Invinity's vanadium flow batteries don't degrade, won't catch fire, and can be operated continuously from full charge to full discharge for over 30 years. Invinity has 75 megawatt-hours of its modular battery systems in 82 projects across 15 countries - more than any other company in the space. We've deployed the largest flow battery systems in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK, and are supported by the UK's National Wealth Fund, some of the world's leading institutional investors and our projects are backed by major institutions including the U.S. Department of Energy and the UK Government. A compelling product and recent funding put Invinity in a position to grow dramatically as it addresses the global imperative for stationary energy storage. Join us as we help transform renewable energy into a stable and dependable contributor to the transition to net zero. Invinity has operations in the UK, Canada and the U.S. and trades publicly in the UK on AIM and in the U.S. on OTCQX. For more information about us visit our webpage.
