Solutions Architect

at  CreateFuture

CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in the centre of Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London as well as remote employees located throughout the country.
We are a team of creators - whether that’s code, project plans, go to market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models or people policies. And together, with our clients, we create the future. This has seen us collaborate and partner across a multitude of industries and sectors, with the likes of PayPal, adidas, Natwest, FanDuel and Money Saving Expert, to name just a few.
Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 500 people in the last couple of years, and it is our amazing people - along with the safe, supportive and friendly culture we have built - that makes CreateFuture a great place to work. Don’t just take our word for it though, we have been recognised by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row - across a number of categories - and our employee exit rate is astonishingly low.

At CreateFuture, we challenge ourselves to go beyond the obvious and we care deeply about our craft and customers. With us, you’ll have ambitious projects to sink your teeth into and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. You’ll be part of our safe, supportive and friendly culture - that looks after you - and join our team of genuinely great people.

As this is a hybrid role, focussing on Leeds we’re looking for people within a commuting distance of our Leeds/ office and who are flexible to travel to client sites and CreateFuture regional offices. We are very flexible and trust you to manage your own schedule to balance face-to-face time with clients, colleagues and working from home.
We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees’ impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels.

We collaborate closely with clients to design and implement cutting-edge, transformative solutions. As a key member of our architecture team, you’ll leverage systems thinking and other tools to analyse client challenges, understanding both technical and business needs to craft tailored solutions. You’ll thrive in our dynamic environment, working both collaboratively in agile teams and independently on solo engagements. You will play a key role in our Architecture practice as we expand to meet increased demand.
We strive to create the best product possible with everyone’s effort, and you’ll be an integral part of that mission. Your role in the team is highly valued, and you’ll be a key player in ensuring the success of our projects.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Working as part of a team or solo, as a senior member of the Architecture team, the ability to lead is essential.
• Developing and delivering solution architectures to meet client requirements with the “bigger picture” in mind at all times.
• Advise and advocate for Architectural standards within both CreateFuture and our clients.
• Analysing complex problems in a wide variety of problem domains.
