What you'll be doing:

Essential skills & experience:

• Proven experience as a Solutions Architect with a focus on UK payments.
• Hands-on knowledge of CHAPS, Bacs, Faster Payments, Direct Debits, and credit cards.
• Experience delivering solutions in large-scale transformation or modernisation programmes.
• Strong technical understanding of architecture frameworks, scalable design patterns, and cloud platforms (ideally Azure).

Desirable skills:

Why this role is exciting:

What people say about us
We're proud to be a 5-star rated company on Google. See what people say about us.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on children with cancer and their families. Extended periods of separation and isolation, anxiety and financial hardship have all taken their toll and the need for our specialist support has become ever more critical. However, sadly, at Candlelighters, we saw our fundraising grind to a halt during the pandemic, which is why we put Team 500 into motion. And we are so thrilled that Corecom have come on board with supporting us on this initiative. In going above and beyond their fundraising goals, we are able to continue to provide critical support and make life a little brighter for the 150 families in Yorkshire devastated by a cancer diagnosis each year.
Thank you Corecom Consulting for your support, it means the world to us and to our families.
