About the Role

We are looking for a strong Techno-Functional Solution Architect to provide architecture leadership across projects within the Trade & Settlement Technology capability. The Solution Architect will support multiple application and project teams concurrently, with primary focus on initiatives requiring Architecture Review Board reviews and other governance approvals. The individual will own the end-to-end solution architecture, personally develop the required architecture and governance artifacts, represent solutions in relevant review forums, and drive solutions through the required approval processes. The Solution Architect will work primarily with application and project teams, gathering required inputs from infrastructure, network, security, data, testing, vendor and other specialist teams. Where necessary, the architect may consult Enterprise Architects or relevant subject-matter experts while retaining overall ownership of the solution. Following approval, the architect will provide implementation assurance through design and architecture reviews to verify that delivery remains aligned with the approved solution. This is an architecture oversight and assurance role and does not require hands-on development, testing or implementation. The architect will also represent the application architecture perspective for test-automation initiatives and work with the Software Quality Management Automation Architect and delivery teams to ensure automation solutions align with the overall application and solution architecture. This is a highly visible role requiring strong technical depth, solution ownership, stakeholder management, governance experience and the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Solution Architecture
• Own and define the end-to-end solution architecture for assigned Trade & Settlement projects.
• Support multiple projects and application teams concurrently, prioritizing initiatives that require architecture and governance approvals.
• Translate business, functional and non-functional requirements into secure, scalable, resilient, maintainable and supportable solutions.
• Define application, integration, data, infrastructure, security and operational architecture considerations applicable to the solution.
• Evaluate alternative solution approaches and make recommendations based on business value, security, scalability, resilience, performance, maintainability, cost, delivery risk and alignment with enterprise standards.
• Act as the primary architecture owner and technical authority for the solution throughout the project lifecycle.
• Consult Enterprise Architects and specialist architecture teams where required while retaining end-to-end ownership and accountability for the solution.
• Identify cross-application impacts, dependencies, constraints, assumptions and architecture risks at an early stage.
• Architecture and Governance Approvals
• Represent Trade & Settlement application and project teams in Architecture Review Boards and all other forums requiring architecture-related review or approval.
• Personally own the preparation, quality and maintenance of architecture and governance artifacts.
• Develop solution architecture documents, architecture diagrams, system-context diagrams, integration and data-flow diagrams, technical decision records, risk assessments and other artifacts required by governance forums.
• Coordinate with application, project, infrastructure, network, security, data, testing, vendor and other specialist teams to gather the information required for governance submissions.
• Present and explain proposed solutions to governance forums in a clear and structured manner.
• Defend architecture decisions and explain the business and technical rationale behind the selected approach.
• Address questions, conditions, risks, recommendations and actions raised by governance bodies.
• Track governance actions and drive them to closure in collaboration with the relevant application and project teams.
• Drive solutions through the complete architecture review and approval lifecycle.
• Ensure that governance approvals, conditions and architecture decisions are appropriately documented and communicated to implementation teams.
• Implementation Assurance
• Review detailed designs and implementation approaches to confirm alignment with the approved architecture.
• Provide architecture guidance to application, engineering, testing, infrastructure, network, data, DevOps and vendor teams during implementation.
• Conduct architecture checkpoints at appropriate stages of the delivery lifecycle.
• Identify and address material deviations from the approved solution.
• Assess proposed architecture changes and determine whether additional review or governance approval is required.
• Ensure that architecture risks, approval conditions and non-functional requirements are addressed before implementation.
• Support deployment-readiness and implementation reviews from an architecture perspective.
• Maintain traceability between the approved architecture, key architecture decisions and the implemented solution.
• This role provides architecture oversight and assurance and does not require hands-on development, testing, deployment or implementation activities.
• Represent the application architecture perspective in test-automation initiatives.
• Work with the Software Quality Management Automation Architect, application teams and testing teams to ensure proposed automation solutions align with application and enterprise architecture.
• Provide guidance on application interfaces, integration points, test environments, test data, dependencies, security requirements and architectural constraints relevant to automation.
• Review test-automation solution designs that affect application architecture, infrastructure, security or integration patterns.
• Help teams identify critical business flows, integration scenarios, failure conditions and non-functional requirements that should be considered in the automation approach.
• Support the resolution of architecture issues that may prevent or limit effective test automation.
• The Solution Architect will not own automation framework development or hands-on test-script creation.
• Stakeholder and Cross-Team Coordination
• Work primarily with Trade & Settlement application owners, project managers, business analysts, engineering leads and testing teams.
• Coordinate with infrastructure, network, security, data protection, data architecture, operational support, enterprise architecture and other specialist teams as required.
• Engage with application vendors to obtain solution details, address architecture questions and validate vendor-proposed designs.
• Act as the architecture bridge between application teams, project teams, specialist technology teams and governance bodies.
• Communicate complex architecture decisions in clear business and technical language.
• Escalate unresolved architecture risks, dependencies and decisions to the appropriate project or capability leadership.
• Manage competing project priorities while maintaining the quality and timeliness of architecture deliverables.
• Standards, Reuse and Continuous Improvement
• Ensure that solutions comply with relevant enterprise architecture principles, security requirements, data-protection requirements, technology standards and governance expectations.
• Promote reuse of approved architecture patterns, components and integration approaches across Trade & Settlement applications.
• Identify opportunities to simplify the technology landscape, reduce duplication and improve solution consistency.
• Maintain reusable architecture templates, patterns, reference designs and decision records where appropriate.
• Contribute to technology modernisation, technical-debt reduction and complex architecture assessments when capacity permits or where the complexity of a project requires architecture involvement.
• Share architecture knowledge and lessons learned across application and project teams.
