ROLE OVERVIEW

could impact delivery timelines, compliance posture, or solution quality

technical execution at a level that junior or mid-level architects cannot
provide

trade-offs, and solution direction
• Lead participation in Agile ceremonies including
sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, ensuring
architectural considerations are embedded throughout the delivery cycle
• Independently assess complex technical
challenges, evaluate solution options, and deliver structured, evidence-based
recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Drive problem-solving activities spanning
requirements, design, build, and transition phases, identifying risks early and
proposing mitigation strategies
• Govern prioritisation decisions by aligning
project goals, scope boundaries, and delivery sequencing with architectural and
technical constraints
• Define and enforce best practice standards for
validation, testing strategy, and quality assurance across the programme.

standards, regulatory compliance requirements, and governance frameworks

validation, quality, and compliance processes, including architecture decision
records and design artefacts

and project-level governance forums, including steering committees and
technical review boards as required
