Supporting the business through technology and innovation – that’s when it hits home

 

 

As an IS team we are setting out to be more digitally focussed, using the latest technologies, whilst ensuring that our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Our strategy is set, our direction is clear. What comes next is to apply our skills and experience through brilliant team work to innovate, design, and implement systems that deliver real business value. 

We’ve got an excellent team foundation to build upon as our technical portfolio develops and expands; that’s where you come in.

We need an IS Solution Architect to help us shape the future, work on some of our most ambitious business programmes and projects and find innovative solutions to the challenges that face us over the coming months and years.  You’ll be working in a small (but perfectly formed) team of IS Architects for Tom, our Architecture Team Lead.  He's a family man with terrible taste in both music and film (Mean Girls being a firm favourite).  He comes from a commercial background and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Home Group. He is responsible for leading the team and with you by his side... we think you'll do great things! 

So if you want to help shape the future of Home Group, do awesome things in a brilliant team and work for an organisation that really makes a difference… join us at Home Group.

 

 

Working hours

Here at Home Group we believe flexibility works both ways. Our focus is on getting the job done, not your working hours! It’s important to us that you’re in the office so we can work collaboratively and share best practices amongst the team. However there will be times, when you might work from home to concentrate on a particular piece of work. Throughout it’s the teams unwritten rule that you attend the important appointments in life, be it your child’s school play, your partner’s graduation, or to get your new fridge delivered. You can elect to fit these around your working day or use your flexi to take the time off.

 

 

About you

You lead by example and are comfortable working on a broad range of complex technical or professional activities, in a variety of contexts. Investigating, defining and resolving complex issues.

As a brilliant communicator you have a customer focused approach, and recognise the department’s role as a service provider to the business. You ensure that a high quality service is underpinned by timely, appropriate and accurate communications

You excel at managing your stakeholders, be it in your awareness of their expectations and managing these or in helping them formally analyse their needs. You also thrive on keeping up to date and developments within your industry, and apply creative solutions to the benefit of your customers. 

Technically, it would be great if you had the right certificates, however we appreciate that you might have the some great transferrable skills and the desire to work towards getting certified. Amongst some of the skills we are looking for are;-

TOGAF 9 Certification (Level 1) or a BCS Practitioner in Enterprise and Solution Architecture, IT Architecture Modelling.
