We have an exciting opportunity for a Solutions Architect to join our Architecture team based in either Leeds or London!

As our Solutions Architect, you will be at the heart of driving forward the Application Architecture domains. You will not just be building solutions, but crafting the future for our Members and Colleagues.

You will be instrumental in supporting the design of end-to-end solutions that go beyond meeting immediate needs, but rather align with our bold, long-term strategic goals. This role is pivotal in enhancing the service to our Members, optimising operational efficiency and actively shaping the future of both our On-Prem and Cloud (Azure) architecture.

This a hybrid role with a blend of home and office-based working. As MPS colleagues are spread across the UK, we utilise technology to facilitate our roles with occasional travel to our offices in Leeds or London, likely once or twice a month.

• Proven experience in delivering complex solutions within an Enterprise and/or experience of delivering integrated solutions involving third parties
• A strong technical awareness of application, data and modern IT architecture focused on cloud (azure) technologies
• Ability to engage and challenge at all levels; strong influencing skills coupled with tenacity and resilience
• A strong awareness of business and security architecture is desirable, but not essential

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and we encourage you to apply even if you feel you do not match 100% of the technical requirements.We celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and strive to create a work environment which ensures everyone can be heard.

Package Description

Alongside a competitive salary as stated above, you will also receive:

• Up to 15% discretionary annual bonus
• 11% pension contribution (3% from you, 8% from us optional additional matched 3% contributions, e.g. 6% from you, 11% from us)
• 25 days annual leave plus flexible bank holidays (option to buy/sell additional 5 days)

About the Company

Medical Protection Society (MPS) is the worlds leading protection organisation for Doctors, Dentists and healthcare professionals. We protect and support the professional interests of almost 300,000 Members around the world, in countries as diverse as the United Kingdom, South Africa and Hong Kong.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, meaning our Members premiums are either invested into bettering the organisation, its employees and our products, or kept safe should our Members require support for complaints or claims arising from professional practice.

Our philosophy is to support safe practice in medicine and dentistry by helping to avert problems in the first place. We also actively campaign for regulatory and legal reforms that benefit Members and the wider healthcare professions.

To do this, we need colleagues who are trusted and supported to deliver their best work, whether that be through leadership development, fully-funded training courses or peer-to-peer support. We want our colleagues to feel empowered enough to deliver positive change, display ambition to push themselves and are determined when faced with a challenge, whilst ensuring our Members best interests are at the core.
