. Solution Architecture and Design

• Lead the architecture and design of large, complex and multi-technology solutions aligned to customer business and technical requirements.
• Translate business, functional and non-functional requirements into coherent end-to-end solution architectures.
• Produce and govern High-Level Designs, Low-Level Designs, Solution Architecture Documents, reference architectures, architecture decision records and implementation patterns.
• Ensure solutions address security, scalability, availability, resilience, performance, manageability, interoperability and supportability.
• Define integration across cloud, infrastructure, applications, networks, security, data and operational service components.
• Assess current-state environments and develop target-state architectures, transformation approaches and technology roadmaps.
• Identify architectural risks, constraints, assumptions, dependencies and technical debt; evaluate options and articulate trade-offs.

2. Customer Consulting and Advisory

• Act as a trusted technology advisor to customer architects, engineering leaders, CIO, CTO and CISO organizations, and business stakeholders.
• Lead discovery sessions, architecture workshops, assessments and design reviews.
• Translate customer objectives into practical technology outcomes and communicate complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Provide recommendations for modernization, transformation, optimization, risk reduction and service improvement.
• Build strong customer relationships and positively influence strategic technology decisions.

3. Pre-Sales and Solution Development

• Provide architectural leadership for RFI, RFP and RFQ responses, bids and strategic opportunities.
• Support sales and account teams throughout opportunity qualification and solution development.
• Develop solution architectures, technical proposals, Statements of Work, assumptions, dependencies and solution narratives.
• Produce effort estimates, Bills of Materials, licensing assumptions and technical inputs to commercial models.
• Lead customer presentations, solution workshops, demonstrations and technical defence sessions.
• Ensure proposed solutions are technically achievable, operationally supportable and commercially viable.

4. Technical and Delivery Governance

• Serve as design authority throughout the solution lifecycle and govern implementation against the approved architecture.
• Conduct design assurance and technical reviews at defined architecture and delivery gates.
• Manage architecture decisions, technical risks, exceptions, constraints and dependencies.
• Support delivery teams in resolving complex architecture and integration issues.
• Define solution acceptance criteria and contribute to testing, transition and operational readiness.
• Maintain appropriate documentation, traceability and architecture governance.

5. Technology Leadership

The successful candidate should demonstrate sound architecture knowledge across several of the following domains:

6. Security by Design

• Embed security into the architecture from initial design rather than treating it as a downstream activity.
• Align solutions with enterprise security standards, regulatory requirements and customer policies.
• Incorporate identity, privileged access, encryption, logging, monitoring, vulnerability management, network segmentation and data protection controls.
• Collaborate with specialist cybersecurity architects where deeper domain expertise is required.
• Apply appropriate risk assessment and threat-modelling techniques for critical solutions.

7. Architecture Leadership and Mentoring

• Provide technical direction to solution architects, domain architects, consultants and engineers.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams contributing to complex solutions and review their architecture deliverables.
• Mentor junior and intermediate architects and promote consistent architecture practices.
• Support the development of architecture capability, communities of practice and technical standards.

8. Innovation and Reusable Intellectual Property

• Develop reusable reference architectures, patterns, templates, blueprints and accelerators.
• Contribute lessons learned and delivery experience to Fujitsu knowledge repositories.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and assess their applicability to customer requirements.
• Participate in architecture communities, technology forums and thought-leadership activities.
• Collaborate with strategic technology partners to enhance Fujitsu solution offerings.

Required Experience

• 15+ years of relevant IT experience, including approximately 8+ years in solution, technical or enterprise architecture.
• Proven experience architecting large-scale enterprise technology solutions across multiple technology domains.
• Demonstrated customer-facing consulting, workshop facilitation and stakeholder-management experience.
• Strong understanding of architecture principles, integration patterns and non-functional requirements.
• Experience producing HLDs, LLDs, architecture documents, technical proposals and implementation roadmaps.
• Previous involvement in RFPs, proposals, solution estimation and pre-sales activities.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering and delivery teams.
• Ability to evaluate solutions from business, technical, security, risk, operational and commercial perspectives.

Professional Competencies

• Architecture leadership: ownership of complex end-to-end architecture and design decisions.
• Customer focus: ability to understand desired business outcomes rather than proposing technology in isolation.
• Commercial awareness: understanding of solution cost, effort, risk and architectural trade-offs.
• Communication: excellent written, verbal, workshop-facilitation and presentation skills.
• Problem solving: a structured, evidence-based approach to complex business and technical challenges.
• Stakeholder management: confidence working with customer executives, architects, vendors and delivery teams.
• Collaboration and leadership: ability to influence geographically distributed and multidisciplinary teams without relying solely on formal authority.

Qualifications and Certifications

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• A master's degree or postgraduate business or technology qualification is advantageous.
