About

Architecture Leadership & Governance Provide technical authority and architecture governance across all programme workstreams, ensuring consistency, scalability, and resilience of the overall solution. Define and maintain solution architecture patterns, design standards, and best practices for Oracle, Azure IaaS, and hybrid environments. Own the technical design documentation and architecture decision records (ADRs), keeping them current as the solution evolves. Continuously refine the architecture as new issues, dependencies, and risks are identified across the programme lifecycle. Ensure all solution designs meet security standards, compliance requirements, and risk mitigation frameworks. Facilitation of workshops and requirements discovery bringing teams together to align on value driven business outcomes. Oracle Upgrade Strategy & Execution Lead the definition and execution planning for the Oracle database upgrade strategy, including version assessment, upgrade path selection, and go/no-go criteria. Perform in-depth analysis of the Oracle database estate alongside Oracle SMEs, identifying performance issues, risks, inefficiencies, and version-specific constraints. Develop technical recommendations and mitigation strategies for issues uncovered during analysis, including schema changes, deprecated feature remediation, and compatibility fixes. Design workarounds and optimisation approaches for complex Oracle challenges, adapting the solution iteratively as new problems emerge during execution. Validate Oracle upgrade outcomes through structured performance benchmarking, regression testing governance, and post-upgrade health checks. VMware Removal & Workload Re-platforming Lead the technical strategy for VMware decommissioning, covering workload inventory, dependency mapping, and VM re-platforming prioritisation. Assess each workload’s characteristics (performance, latency, licensing, OS, connectivity) to determine optimal re-platforming approach: lift-and-shift, re-platform, or re-architect. Define and govern the migration sequencing plan, managing technical interdependencies and minimising service disruption during the removal of the VMware layer. Identify and resolve technical blockers arising from VMware-specific configurations, custom networking, and storage dependencies. AVS to Azure IaaS Migration Architect the migration from Azure VMware Solution (AVS) to native Azure IaaS, leveraging Azure Migrate, ASR, and related tooling. Redesign workload architectures for Azure-native patterns where appropriate — including compute sizing, managed disk selection, virtual networking, and availability zone placement. Define and enforce networking migration patterns, including VNET design, NSG rulesets, private endpoint configurations, and ExpressRoute / VPN continuity. Manage Azure landing zone readiness, ensuring governance controls, RBAC, tagging policies, and security baselines are in place before workload migration. Requirements 12–18+ years in solution architecture or technical leadership roles, with a consistent track record of delivery in large-scale enterprise transformation programmes. Deep, hands‑on Oracle expertise: performance tuning, version upgrades (e.g. 11g to 19c), migration planning, schema analysis, and post‑upgrade remediation. Proven Azure cloud architecture experience: IaaS design (VM, storage, networking, identity), Azure Migrate, ASR, landing zones, and hybrid connectivity. Direct experience delivering VMware workload migrations — including AVS, vSphere, and vCenter environments — to cloud‑native or IaaS targets. Strong understanding of enterprise security principles: identity & access management, network security, encryption at rest/in transit, and compliance frameworks. Background in consulting or professional services, with experience producing client‑facing architecture artefacts and presenting to senior technical audiences. Exposure to regulated industries — BFSI, Capital Markets, or Enterprise Transformation environments strongly preferred. Serve as the senior technical point of contact for client architecture and engineering stakeholders, communicating complex decisions with clarity and confidence. Translate technical findings and recommendations into structured, client‑ready artefacts: architecture documents, risk assessments, decision papers, and executive summaries. Provide technical oversight of third‑party vendors and Oracle SMEs, reviewing their recommendations and ensuring alignment with the programme architecture. Support the Senior Delivery Lead with technical input to programme governance, steering committee updates, and risk escalations. Contribute to pre‑sales and bid activity where required, providing technical solution design, estimating, and architecture narrative for proposals. Preferred Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert. Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) or Oracle Database Administrator certification. VMware Certified Professional (VCP) or equivalent. TOGAF 9 or equivalent enterprise architecture framework certification. Degree‑level education in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline. Benefits A highly competitive compensation and benefits package. 10 days of paid annual leave (plus sick leave and national holidays). Maternity & paternity leave plans. A comprehensive insurance plan including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long-/short‑term disability (plans vary by region). Retirement savings plans. Higher education certification policy. Commuter benefits (varies by region). Extensive training opportunities, focused on skills, substantive knowledge, and personal development.
