## Description

Solution Architect | Enterprise FMCG & Supply Chain Systems

Location: Bristol (Hybrid - 2 days/week in-office)

Contract Type: 1-2 Year Fixed-Term Contract (FTC) (Day-rate contract potentially considered)

The Opportunity

We are headhunting on behalf of a beloved household UK brand based near Bristol, known for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation.

They are embarking on a major technology modernization journey across their enterprise landscape and need a hands-on, broad-scope Solution Architect to shape and drive the design. You won't be locked into a single niche here, this is a wide-reaching role spanning enterprise systems, complex data integrations, operational processes, and supply chain logistics.

What You'll Do

 * Drive Enterprise Architecture: Lead the design and delivery of scalable tech solutions across core operational business areas (ERP, Supply Chain, Logistics, Data).
 * Bridge Tech & Business: Translate complex business requirements from supply chain and manufacturing teams into resilient architectural blueprints.
 * Data & Integration Management: Architect seamless data pipelines and integration strategies to connect legacy infrastructure with modern cloud/SaaS platforms.
 * Stakeholder Ownership: Work closely with C-suite stakeholders, operational leaders, and 3rd-party vendors to align technology with strategic business goals.

What We're Looking For

 * Proven Track Record: Solid experience as a Solution Architect within FMCG, Manufacturing, Logistics, or Supply Chain environments.
 * Broad Architectural Scope: Comfortable working across applications, data integration, security, and infrastructure (not just a pure software or pure cloud architect).
 * Stakeholder Impact: Pragmatic, persuasive, and able to demystify technical decisions for non-technical business leaders.

Working Pattern & Terms

 * Hybrid Model: 2 days/week on-site near Bristol for critical collaboration; 3 days/week remote.
 * Engagement: Offered primarily as a 1 to 2-year Fixed-Term Contract, providing medium-term stability on high-impact projects. (Flexible day-rate contract options may be explored for the right candidate).

If you're a broad-minded architect looking to leave a lasting mark on a major British brand's supply chain technology, apply today or reach out directly for a confidential discussion.
