Location: Scotland (Flexible)
Salary: Starting at £64,680 up to £75,000 + Car Allowance + 38 Days Leave + LGPS Pension
Job Type: Permanent | Level: Senior Leadership

Are you a visionary architect ready to shape the future of critical national services? We're seeking a Digital Architecture Manager to lead end-to-end solution design across IT, OT, and cloud environments for one of Scotland's most vital infrastructure organisations.

This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to drive digital innovation that directly impacts millions, from smart infrastructure and AI-enabled services to real-time operational decision-making. You'll be at the forefront of a £40-£50 million digital investment portfolio, delivering resilient, future-ready solutions that underpin both business and environmental outcomes.

The Role

As Digital Architecture Manager, you'll take charge of solution-level design and governance across cloud platforms (Azure), operational technology, enterprise applications, and AI tooling. You'll ensure all technical solutions are secure, scalable, compliant, and aligned with strategic goals.

Working within the Digital Strategy & Platforms function, you'll translate business needs into enterprise-grade technical blueprints, lead a team of architects, and champion modern design principles such as security-by-design, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll influence at all levels - from senior stakeholders to delivery teams - ensuring seamless integration across IT and OT systems, including Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and advanced AI services.

What You'll Bring

Proven experience leading architecture across large-scale digital transformation projects.

Deep technical knowledge of Azure, enterprise applications, cloud-native design, and cybersecurity best practices.

Strong understanding of regulated environments and compliance frameworks (NIS2, ISO27001).

Experience integrating IT with OT environments, including edge computing and IoT/SCADA.

Leadership skills to mentor architects and steer cross-functional technical delivery.

Knowledge of modern governance practices: DevOps, FinOps, cloud cost optimisation, and automation.

Certifications such as TOGAF, Azure Solutions Architect, or ITIL would be highly desirable. Experience in water, energy, or utilities sectors is a distinct advantage.

What's on Offer

Salary from £64,680, £75,000 with potential for progression

Monthly car allowance

38 days holiday (including public holidays)

Career-average Local Government Pension Scheme

Life assurance and flexible working options

Influence over a major national digital transformation
