You will analyse and develop solution and technical architectures based on the needs of the customer, including the associated technologies and operational processes. You will also research and assess new or unfamiliar technologies developments and routes to exploit these in support of our customers. Our position as a client-side advisor means that this role requires significant stakeholder engagement, dealing directly with the client, including in resolving day-day issues involved in assignment delivery and developing follow-on opportunities, so excellent interpersonal and influencing skills are essential.

Development of solutions and product investigation/selection and supporting implementation in critical national infrastructure projects. Supporting large ICT procurements, including developing technical requirements and evaluating options. Skills, Knowledge and Expertise Essential: A track record in technical or solution architecture for digital projects or programmes is essential. The fast-changing nature of the ICT environment together with the need to resource multiple, ad-hoc assignments also requires the individual to be intellectually agile, proactive and self-motivated - with the ability to apply a structured approach to often unfamiliar subject matter. Desirable: Experience working on Digital or ICT programmes within the Defence and / or UK Public Sector. Solution Architecture development and review using industry standard frameworks or modelling standards (e.g. TOGAF, Archimate language) and tooling (such as BizzDesign, SparxEA or Archi).

Security: familiarity with NCSC and cloud security principles, identity & access management, zero trust, data protection and regulatory compliance. The nature of Actica's business means that a wide and varied background is preferable and the capability to adapt quickly to change is always required. You may not feel that your skills precisely match the requirements of this job specification; however, we encourage you to apply if this is a role that appeals to you.

Discrimination against individuals on the grounds of protected characteristics is not permitted and we take steps to ensure that our staff are made aware of their legal responsibilities when making hiring decisions.
