Contract Solution Architect

We have an immediate, high-priority contract requirement for a seasoned Solution Architect to partner with a key client in Hamilton. The client has a substantial backlog of projects and enhancements currently on hold that require urgent review, shaping, and sizing. This is a pure architecture and strategy role, not a hands-on tech-lead position.

The ideal candidate will bring a mature, steady presence to the environment, possessing the experience to confidently untangle ambiguity, map out the big picture, and determine the best path forward for a stalled portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Review a backlog of on-hold software and infrastructure initiatives, assessing their feasibility and sizing. Conceptual Design: Produce clear, high-level end-to-end solution diagrams to define what is needed without getting bogged down in low-level code. Information Gathering: Proactively and tenaciously navigate the organisation to find and collaborate with the right subject matter experts.

Strategic Alignment: Translate complex business requirements into structured technical options, clearly highlighting trade-offs for stakeholders.

About You

(Ideal Profile) Architecture Focused: You operate comfortably at the conceptual macro-level, focusing on enterprise solutions rather than acting as a hands-on developer or tech lead. Seasoned Persona: You possess a cool, calm, and collected demeanor that instantly commands respect and demonstrates your deep IT industry experience.

Tenacious Problem Solver: You don't wait for information to come to you; you are driven to hunt down the right people to get the job done. Broad Capability: Proven experience identifying and sizing solutions across both software and infrastructure domains. John Mc. Guire Fuse IT Recruitment
