Integration Architect - 18 Month FTC

The Integration Architect is responsible for defining, governing, and assuring the integration architecture across enterprise systems, applications, and data platforms. The role ensures that integrations are scalable, secure, resilient, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards, business strategy, and regulatory requirements. This role acts as the design authority for integrations, bridging business requirements and technical implementation, and providing architectural leadership across programmes and delivery teams. Integration Architecture & Design Define and own the enterprise integration architecture working with the Senior Integration Architect, including patterns, principles, and reference architectures (e.g. API‑led, event‑driven, batch, point‑to‑point avoidance). Design end‑to‑end integration solutions across on‑premise, cloud, and SaaS platforms. Select appropriate integration styles and technologies based on functional and non‑functional requirements (performance, scalability, security, resilience). Produce architectural artefacts including integration diagrams, data flows, interface contracts, and sequence diagrams. Governance & Standards Establish and enforce integration standards, design patterns, naming conventions, and best practices. Be part of the Design Authority for integrations, reviewing and approving solution designs. Ensure integrations comply with security, data protection, privacy, and regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, cross‑border data transfer constraints). Guard against unnecessary point‑to‑point integrations and technical debt. Delivery & Assurance Support delivery teams during build and deployment, providing architectural guidance and resolving design issues. Collaborate with developers, platform teams, and vendors to ensure architectural intent is implemented correctly. Identify integration risks and dependencies early and propose mitigation strategies. Support testing strategies covering integration, performance, and failure scenarios. Stakeholder & Vendor Collaboration Work closely with business stakeholders, product owners, and architects to translate business needs into integration designs. Engage with third‑party vendors and system integrators to assure externally delivered integrations. Contribute to programme and project planning by providing integration estimates, sequencing, and dependencies. Continuous Improvement Stay informed about emerging integration technologies and patterns (e.g. iPaaS, event streaming, API management). Continuously improve integration platforms and practices to enhance reliability, agility, and reuse. Promote reuse of APIs, events, and shared services across the organisation. Skills & Experience Essential Proven experience in designing and delivering enterprise‑scale integrations. Strong understanding of integration patterns and architectural trade‑offs. Experience working with both business and technical stakeholders. Ability to produce clear, concise architectural documentation. Strong understanding of non‑functional requirements (security, performance, resilience). Desirable Experience in regulated or global organisations. Knowledge of domain‑driven design, event‑driven architecture, or microservices. Experience operating as a design authority or within an architecture governance framework. Exposure to major ERP, CRM, or HR platforms (ideally Dynamics 365). ** Please note this is a 18 month Contract Position ** Who are we?
