Description
Are you a Solutions Architect who enjoys translating business needs into clear, practical technology solutions without the jargon?
We are working with a leading professional services organisation that is investing heavily in innovation, AI and smarter use of technology. They are hiring an IT Solutions Architect to join a newly formed AI & Innovation capability, playing a key hands-on role in shaping how technology supports the business.
This is a hybrid role based in their London offices, offering genuine influence, senior stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to work across legal, operational and technology teams.
What's on offer

• Salary up to 95,000 plus discretionary bonus

• Hybrid working: 2 days in the office, 3 days remote

• High-profile, firm-wide transformation and innovation programmes

• Exposure to AI, legal technology and Microsoft enterprise platforms

• Collaborative, down-to-earth culture with strong sponsorship from senior leadership

What you'll be doing

• Translating business and legal requirements into clear, workable solution designs

• Acting as a trusted architectural advisor rather than a technology selector

• Validating and filtering solution options and presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders

• Working closely with PMO, business analysts, trainers, internal development teams and vendors

• Designing and integrating SaaS, COTS and custom-built solutions

• Supporting AI, automation and Microsoft 365-based initiatives across the firm

• Ensuring non-functional requirements such as security, performance and resilience are embedded

• Running proofs of concept to support informed go or no-go decisions

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a Solutions Architect in a law firm or professional services environment

• Strong exposure to Microsoft Azure, Power Platform and Microsoft 365

• Practical experience with AI-enabled tools and automation

• Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders

• Calm, credible and pragmatic approach with strong personal gravitas

• A team player with a positive, can-do mindset

If you enjoy solving complex problems, influencing without authority and delivering meaningful change, we would love to hear from you.
