Senior Technical Architect

Lead Architect - £95k - North East / Scotland - Hybrid - Innovative Tech Consultancy

Fancy an architecture role where you're actually in the room shaping strategy, making the calls, and staying close enough to delivery to see your decisions land 👀

We're working with a brilliant technology consultancy looking for a Lead Architect to bring technical leadership across a genuinely varied portfolio of client work. Client demand is on the up, and they need more architects to match it. No two projects look the same and neither does the tech stack.

This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership, delivery and consultancy. You'll work closely with tech and delivery teams day to day not fully hands-on, but close enough to roll your sleeves up when it counts. You'll balance strategy with practical implementation, whether leading a smaller team solo or supporting a larger programme.

🏘️ Hybrid: Newcastle or Scotland

💰 Salary: £90,000

🎁 Benefits: 8% employer pension

What's in it for you:

✨ Shape the technology strategy behind high-impact projects across diverse industries

✨ Own the architectural decisions that define how solutions are built and delivered

✨ Get hands-on with new technologies, tools and approaches on every engagement

✨ Real autonomy to pick the right patterns and tools for each client's problem

The experience I'd love to see:

✅ A genuine software development background e.g Java, C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript

✅ Experience providing technical leadership across delivery teams

✅ Comfort working across the full software development lifecycle

✅ Skill applying architectural patterns to real-world problems

✅ Strong communication with technical and business stakeholders

If you're an architect who thrives on variety, new tech and a visible hand in what you build, this could be your next move. 🙌
