About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on, delivery-focused Solution Architect to join an active Investment Delivery team on a contract basis. This is a "do-er" role designed for someone who thrives on getting into the details, creating clear architecture diagrams, authoring solution designs, and actively testing or configuring systems when needed. Working alongside a Lead Solution Architect, you will "hold the pen" on technical artifacts and help bridge the gap between architectural intent and actual delivery reality.

Visual & Structural Design: Strong ability to create visual diagrams and clear documentation using frameworks or notations such as C4 Model, ArchiMate, UML, or TOGAF.
Technical Curiosity: Hands-on willingness to explore systems, test configurations, and investigate data/integration capabilities rather than operating purely at a high level.
Integration Expertise: Solid understanding of modern integration patterns, APIs, data architecture, and vendor platform evaluations.
Agile Collaboration: Comfortable working closely with Delivery Managers, Business Analysts, and Product Owners to keep architecture aligned with fast-paced delivery environments.Requirements & Qualifications
Essential: Strong technical architecture and solution design background; Financial Services experience.
Desirable: Strong Business Analysis (BA) skills; domain knowledge in Asset/Wealth Management, private markets, venture capital, or fund setup/operations.#SolutionArchitect #TechJobs #ContractJobs #Architecture #ITContractor #ArchitectJobs #FinancialServices #InvestmentManagement #FinTech #SolutionDesign #SystemArchitecture #EnterpriseArchitecture
