£750 Per Day, Inside IR35, 12 Month Contract, To Start ASAPBased near Reading (3-4 DAYS ONSITE INITIALLY)Your new company We are a nationally significant scientific and engineering organisation operating within one of the most complex technical environments in the UK. As part of our long-term digital modernisation, we are moving away from legacy monolithic applications and establishing a cloud-based, service-oriented ecosystem. This shift is essential to supporting the future of our experimental workflows, data services and operational capabilities. As the transition progresses, a major challenge has emerged, while the services now exist in the cloud, they have not yet been shaped into a coherent, well-designed service architecture. Interoperability, service boundaries, communication patterns and data flow design all require firm direction. We are now looking for a Software Architect with deep SOA expertise to define the foundations of this environment, set the standards and guide our teams toward a mature, scalable and future-proof architecture. Your new role This is a role for an architect who is passionate about Service-Oriented Architecture and has the experience to turn a fragmented system landscape into a unified distributed ecosystem. You will begin by gaining a deep understanding of the current architecture, identifying how services have been implemented, how they interact and where legacy monolithic behaviours are still influencing design. You will explore architectural gaps, risks and technical debt, forming a clear view of the changes needed to achieve a consistent, interoperable service environment. Your focus will be on shaping and maturing the organisation's SOA. You will define how services communicate, how data moves across the environment and how service boundaries should be drawn. You will determine whether a message bus or event driven architecture is appropriate, and you will examine the complex mix of real-time, configuration and scientific data to establish reliable and predictable data flow patterns. Throughout the assignment, you will develop the next level of architectural detail, diagrams, logical models, communication patterns, service contracts, API standards and integration principles. You will work closely with engineers, product teams and scientific stakeholders to ensure every service is aligned to SOA best practice and built on a foundation of scalability, clarity and long-term sustainability. Your ability to challenge assumptions, lead architectural conversations and provide clear direction will be central to moving the organisation confidently into a service-oriented future. What you'll need to succeed You are an experienced Architect with a track record of designing and governing service-oriented or microservice-based systems. You understand distributed system design, messaging, data interoperability and the practical realities of breaking down monolithic patterns. You are comfortable evaluating communication protocols, establishing service contracts, defining service boundaries and designing integration approaches that balance performance, resilience and maintainability. You are equally confident guiding development teams, influencing stakeholders and navigating environments where the architectural direction is not yet fully defined. What you'll get in return Alongside a competitive daily rate, you will have the opportunity to shape the architectural foundation of one of the UK's most advanced scientific and engineering environments. Your work will influence how services communicate, how data flows, how systems grow and how the organisation evolves technically for years to come. You will be part of a forward thinking, engineering-focused culture where your architectural leadership will have both immediate impact and long term strategic importance.

That makes a real difference. The Opportunity We are seeking a Lead Enterprise Architect with a strong AI focus to support a critical phase of our client's technology and AI evolution. This is a senior practitioner role, operating at enterprise level, where architectural judgement, influence and delivery credibility matter more than formal authority. You will work across strategy, architecture and delivery, helping shape how AI is adopted coherently across the organisation. The role is not about prescribing idealised target states; it is about working constructively with organisational reality and bringing clarity, direction and momentum where complexity and ambiguity exist. This environment is far from ordinary - and we're not looking for ordinary. Working Environment The organisation is operating in a fast-evolving AI landscape, with multiple teams at different stages of maturity. Governance and structure are present but not rigid, and success depends on an ability to balance assurance, delivery pace and pragmatism. You will engage with senior technical, delivery, commercial and business stakeholders, often operating in contested or ambiguous situations. The emphasis is on trust, judgement and clear reasoning rather than process for its own sake. What You'll Be Doing - Operate as Lead Enterprise Architect for AI-enabled initiatives across the organisation - Establish and evolve an AI architecture capability aligned to the central AI hub - Define and maintain coherent architectures across strategy, delivery, operations and assurance - Translate architectural intent and technical roadmaps into usable, supportable products and services - Provide architectural leadership and challenge to teams adopting AI - Shape approaches to agentic and AI-enabled systems, balancing opportunity with compliance and risk - Lead architectural decision-making in ambiguous or complex situations, clearly articulating trade-offs - Provide architectural input to cloud adoption and integration, particularly across AWS-based platforms - Build alignment and shared understanding across diverse stakeholder groups Your Experience To be successful in this role, you will bring: - Significant experience operating as a Senior or Lead Enterprise Architect - Proven ability to work across the full enterprise context, balancing technical, organisational and commercial considerations - Experience shaping architecture where requirements are incomplete or evolving - Strong understanding of AI-enabled architectures and adoption patterns - Solid cloud architecture experience, including integrating cloud services into enterprise platforms - Experience operating in regulated, high-assurance or compliance-heavy environments - Credibility communicating architectural decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences - The ability to influence outcomes through judgement, relationships and trust rather than instruction In Return You will operate at the point where AI ambition meets organisational reality, helping shape how complex systems evolve over time. This is an opportunity to apply deep architectural judgement, influence significant decisions, and help ensure AI adoption is sustainable, coherent and valuable at enterprise scale. As an organisation and as a team, Guidant Global are committed to fostering an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace, where every employee and contractor feels valued and empowered throughout their time with us. We actively seek to recruit talent from all backgrounds, and to draw on a rich blend of experiences, perspectives and creativity.
