Role and responsibilities:
· be responsible for leading the technical design of systems and services, justifying and communicating design decisions
· assure other services and system quality, ensuring the technical work fits into the broader strategy for government
· explore the benefits of cross-government alignment
· provide mentoring within teams
· provide leadership to other architects
· Manage programme TDA in conjunction with Stark’s Head of Design Authority
· Business Architecture / Enterprise Architecture as required
Architecture development - Leads the development of solution architectures in specific business, infrastructure or functional areas. Ensures that appropriate tools and methods are available, understood and employed in architecture development. Educates and ensures an understanding of non-functional requirements by all stakeholders.
Change programmes- Within a business change programme, leads the preparation of technical plans and in liaison with business assurance and project staff, ensures that appropriate technical resources are made available.
Evaluation and selection – where needed develops product short-lists and evaluation criteria then uses them in product selection, in accordance with policy and strategy for the selection of solution architecture components. Translates component specifications into detailed designs for implementation using selected
Technical assurance - Advises on appropriate technical assurance criteria, and the conduct of quality reviews of technical products. Ensures change control is applied to specifications and designs. Ensures the adequacy and effective use of quality control procedures in relation to solution architecture components.
Technical exceptions - Monitors technical progress, informing project management of major technical issues and making recommendations on their resolution. Advises on the impact of technical exceptions (including requests for changes, deviations from specifications, etc), and ensures that there is proper technical assessment of all exceptions. Informs project management of major technical issues and makes recommendations on their resolution.
Reviews and controls - Contributes to formal reviews and evaluations when projects and programmes end. Documents and socialises the lessons learned from the architecture development.
Documentation - Ensures all work is documented using the appropriate standards, methods and tools, including prototyping tools where appropriate.
Design - Designs systems, infrastructure etc.. covering for example: objectives, scope, constraints (such as performance, resources etc.), hardware, network and software environments, main system functions and information flows, data load and implementation strategies, phasing of development, requirements not met, and alternatives considered.
Components design - Designs components using appropriate modelling techniques following agreed architectures, design standards, patterns and methodology. Identifies and evaluates alternative design options and trade-offs.
Detailed design specification - Produces detailed design specification to form the basis for construction of systems, including for example: physical data flows, class and sequence diagrams, database schemas, file layouts, common routines and utilities, program specifications or prototypes, and backup, recovery and restart procedures. Reviews, verifies and improves own designs against specifications.
Presentation of design- Models, simulates or prototypes the behaviour of proposed systems components to enable approval by stakeholders.
Development needs - Supports the identification and prioritisation of development needs for a professional practice area. Identifies development activities that align with organisational priorities, learning and development strategies and career pathways.
Communities of practice - Provides advice, guidance and, where appropriate, support for the establishment and organisation of communities of practice.
