PERMANENT/FULL-TIME

We are looking for a technical authority who can oversee architecture across Brightbeam's project portfolio, translate complex technical judgements for enterprise stakeholders, and build the engineering capability of the teams around them. As Solution Director – Technical Solutions, you will work in close partnership with a Solution Director – Delivery and Engagement counterpart who owns the client relationship and commercial engagement - leaving you free to focus entirely on architectural coherence and technical excellence.

This role was created deliberately: combining technical solution architecture with account management in a single person limits both the quality of the architecture and the depth of the client relationship. At Brightbeam, we have split the role so both tracks can be done properly.

Key requirements:

  • Significant experience in senior technical roles with solution architecture oversight and multi-project management

  • Minimum 3 years writing production code – non-negotiable for technical credibility

  • Proven enterprise architecture capability across compliance, security, data governance, and legacy integration

  • Exceptional technical communication across all stakeholder levels

  • Track record of building engineering capability through mentorship and influence

Our hiring process:

This assessment focuses on architectural capability, technical credibility, and communication.

  • Background discussion (30 minutes) – career motivations, mission alignment, and technical experience

  • Technical assessment (90 minutes) – architecture thinking, engineering standards, and translating complexity for non-technical stakeholders

  • Architecture review and career deep dive (90 minutes) – multi-project scenario plus PROB-methodology career walkthrough, with at least one-third focused on failures and learning

We aim to complete the process within 3-4 weeks. We will keep you informed at every stage and provide feedback where we can.
