Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Glasgow Full time

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 570 years, and today we are one of the world's top 100 universities.  We are delighted to have recently been awarded Scottish University of the Year by the Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. 

Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Solution Architect to join our Information Services team.  

About the role

The Technology Strategy team within our Information Services directorate is only two years old but is already making a difference at the University of Glasgow, bringing new insight and thinking to the challenges and opportunities facing our students, researchers, and staff.

The Senior Solution Architect is in the strategic driving seat of some of our most impactful and high-profile projects, such as driving student success through CRM, developing and delivering a diverse curriculum, and embracing AI to deliver engaging learning experiences and new insights and possibilities. Shaping the design and delivery of the building blocks of our students, researchers, and staff's success, you'll work with colleagues at all levels across the university directly on the initiatives that matter to them most, illuminating opportunities and risks and bringing fresh perspective and insight. You'll report to our Lead Enterprise Architect on building not just the architecture assets which underpin our services, but also developing the team at a pivotal point in its evolution.

From a technology point of view there's never been a more exciting time in Higher Education. It's a vibrant, collaborative sector and you'll enjoy working with colleagues across the university as well as being part of the open and collaborative Higher Education community that really reflects the core values of academia. The work environment is supportive and flexible with a package of benefits that really make a difference, and you'll have the opportunity to work in a variety of environments including our beautiful Gilmorehill campus in the heart of the West End of Glasgow which will inspire you every day.

So come change the world with us 

About you

With experience of working in both traditional and agile delivery environments, you will also have experience in pragmatically applying architecture frameworks to real world challenges, as well as solutions architecture design for complex IT projects such as enterprise CRM, ERP or Product Management.

The successful candidate will have the ability to author and maintain substantial and critical deliverables and architectural artefact, and will possess extensive analytical skills, with the ability to balance short term and long-term needs with pragmatism, clarity and transparency.

You will have accreditation in Enterprise Architecture either generally (e.g. ISEB/BCS or similar) or in a specific framework such as TOGAF or Zachman, as well as a grounding in all areas of technology provision, extensive knowledge across a range of areas of technology and an awareness of current trends.
