Head of Solution Architecture / Head of Engineering - Manchester
As Head of Solution Architecture / Head of Engineering, you will own the design quality, architectural consistency, and governance of all client delivery across a SaaS fintech environment. You will define how products are implemented and integrated, ensuring solutions are scalable, repeatable, and aligned to modern engineering standards. You will act as the senior technical authority across client engagements, owning architecture, challenging requirements, and ensuring solutions are robust, supportable, and built for long-term evolution. This role requires a strong communicator who can translate complex technical concepts for both engineering teams and senior client stakeholders. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Delivery, you will ensure alignment to platform strategy while maintaining architectural integrity across all implementations. You will also lead the Client Engineering capability, owning standards, hiring, and development across distributed teams (UK and India), while building a high-performing, engineering-led culture.
