Job Description

Head of Technical Architecture

6 Months

Hybrid based in either London, Bristol or Manchester

Inside IR35

875- 900

SC Cleared Role - willing to sponsor so must be eligible

Change-IT are looking for a specialist leader in either Technical or Solutions Architecture to join a large Central Government organisation as Head of Technical Architecture.

This role will be for 6 months initially with potential to be extended further. This role is INSIDE IR35 paying up to 900 per day.

This role is based on an AI programme and as such, the client are looking for someone who has experience launching a user facing digital product (e.g. website or an app) with the use of AI. We're not looking for automation within back office function or integrating with software/data but used directly to help build and launch a user facing product - at a national scale.

In addition to this, the following experience required is:

  • Experience within technical and solutions architecture
  • Leadership - used to managing teams of TA and SA from anywhere between 5-10 minimum.
  • Hands on experience building user facing AI products (listed above)
  • Expert in AWS
  • Experience working to common security frameworks including CAF, Secure/Privacy by Design or NCSC policies.
  • Multiple digital product releases at a national scale

SC Clearance required - for existing holders your clearance would need to be transferred before starting. For new holders you must be eligible to apply (5 years living in the UK with no gaps, UK citizen or Settled Status/ILR visa), and undergo the full check before you are able to start in post.

Please follow the steps to apply and our team will be in touch!
