Our lead architects are responsible for assuring, designing, and delivering digital services that make a genuine difference to people's lives. A Lead Architect will work alongside a service owner, overseeing the work of up to 10 engineering teams.

This role aligns against the Lead Technical Architect Role from the Government Digital and Data Framework. Our Lead Architects will work to understand our technology, our business, and our people (colleagues, stakeholders, and users of our services), and to create an ambitious and pragmatic vision for our teams, using their technical expertise to bring our challenges and opportunities into focus alongside the views of other professions in our leadership team. In LAA Digital believe that architecture is not purely a technical discipline. The systems we build are shaped by the teams that build them, the organisational structures they sit within, and the communication patterns between the people involved. Our architects think about how team structures, domain boundaries, and organisational dynamics shape systems - and how the systems we design, in turn, shape the organisation. We are looking for people who understand that designing great systems means co-designing the social and technical dimensions together, and who bring both technical depth and organisational awareness to their work. This role requires clear communication and structured thinking skills. A Lead Architect can see the big picture, understanding our complex technology landscape, and can clearly and effectively communicate with both specialist and non-specialist audiences. By building trust, developing great relationships, and empathising with others you will support the development of the architecture community and engineering leadership within your service area, providing guidance, mentorship, and technical leadership across teams. A Lead Architect will have a good understanding of a broad range of technologies, with hands on experience in both software engineering and commercial enterprise, as well as providing effective governance, both within our organisation, and across our suppliers.

Flexible working arrangements including hybrid working, working part time or compressed hours. Designed to support a positive work-life balance. Employees are allocated 10% of their working time for personal and professional development. A £1k per person learning budget is in place to support all our people, with access to best-in-class conferences and seminars, accreditation with professional bodies, fully funded vocational programmes and e-learning platforms. Compassionate maternity, adoption, and shared parental leave policies, with up to 26 weeks leave at full pay, 13 weeks with partial pay, and 13 weeks further leave.
