• Ability to discuss in detail integrations you have personally designed, governed or delivered, including interfaces, APIs, data synchronisation, failure handling and reconciliation.
• Strong understanding of legal-sector data domains including client and matter records, workspace and document metadata, conflicts and intake, time capture, billing and WIP.
• Understanding of how these data domains interact and flow between Document Management, Practice Management, Finance and Risk systems.
• Strong Microsoft Azure experience including IaaS, PaaS, integration services and hybrid/cloud-native architecture.
• Experience of data architecture, data governance and information life cycle management.
• Strong understanding of integration architecture, APIs, security architecture and enterprise solution design.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and presentation skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience producing architecture roadmaps, high-level designs and technical documentation aligned with recognised security and continuity standards.

This is an outstanding opportunity to influence the technology strategy of a global Law Firm, taking architectural ownership of the integration landscape connecting some of the legal sector's most important enterprise platforms.
