Typically this role will be the primary contact point for application specific technical consultancy for a recently acquired, major business transformation Programme and will work in a dedicated, ring-fenced team in order to review, document and architect the internal and external application environments. This role also adds value by implementing common standards, systems and hardware that are consistently stable, reliable and which deliver business benefits.
The role will be particularly suited to anyone with a strong applications development and/or integration background, as although this is very much an architecture focussed position, the post holder will be required to work with and challenge development resources and teams.
