• Best practice designs incorporating security principles (such as defense in depth and reduction of blast radius) that meet the Bank's resiliency expectations.

• Solutions that appropriately balance risks and controls to deliver the agreed business and technology value.

• Adoption of standardized solutions where they fit. If no standard solutions fit, feed into their ongoing evolution where appropriate.

• Fault finding and performance issues support to operational support teams, leveraging available tooling.

• Solution design impact assessment in terms of risk, capacity, and cost impact, including estimation of project change and ongoing run costs.

• Development of the requisite architecture inputs required to comply with the banks governance processes, including design artifacts required for architecture, privacy, security, and records management governance processes.

• Advise key stakeholders, including functional leadership teams and senior management on functional and cross-functional areas of impact and alignment.

• Manage and mitigate risks through assessment, in support of the control and governance agenda.

• Demonstrate leadership and accountability for managing risk and strengthening controls in relation to the work your team does.

• Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of the organization functions to contribute to achieving the goals of the business.

• Collaborate with other areas of work, for business-aligned support areas to keep up to speed with business activity and the business strategies.

• Create solutions based on sophisticated analytical thought comparing and selecting complex alternatives. In-depth analysis with interpretative thinking will be required to define problems and develop innovative solutions.

• Seek out, build and maintain trusting relationships and partnerships with internal and external stakeholders in order to accomplish key business objectives, using influencing and negotiating skills to achieve outcomes.

All colleagues will be expected to demonstrate the Barclays Values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship – our moral compass, helping us do what we believe is right. They will also be expected to demonstrate the Barclays Mindset – to Empower, Challenge and Drive – the operating manual for how we behave.
