  • Digitally and technically literate, capable of effectively engaging with technical staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to define the best solutions in line with VCA & Government strategy.
  • Experience designing and reviewing complex technical delivery projects.
  • Experience liaising with external and internal teams to ensure timely provisioning and implementation of quality, scalable, and secure technical solutions.
  • Experience of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and on-premise solutions and when and how to implement them.
  • Experience working with suppliers to contribute to and assure detailed technical architectures and designs.
  • The ability to cope in a technically complex and transformational environment, and to respond calmly and rationally to changing aspirations within constraints.
  • To be able to influence stakeholders to adopt solutions that best support the business needs.
  • To be able to effectively articulate the trade-offs between different solution options.
  • To be familiar with architecture methods tools such as TOGAF, Archimate, and UML.
