• Working closely with engineering, delivery and domain architecture teams
• Resolving complex cross-domain technical challenges throughout the project lifecycle
• Ensuring solutions align with business objectives, architecture standards and operational requirements
• Supporting technical governance and architecture review processes (e.g. XAB)

• Strong experience as an E2E Network Solution Architect within mobile telecoms environments
• Proven experience across at least two mobile network domains, for example:
• Packet Core + OSS
• Voice Core + RAN
• Devices + Core Networks
• RAN + Transport/Core Solutions
• Demonstrated ability to design and integrate complex multi-domain mobile network solutions
• Strong understanding of mobile network architecture and network-to-IT integration
• Experience producing high-quality architecture documentation and technical design artefacts
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across both technical and business audiences
• Backgrounds such as Core Network Architecture, RAN Solution Design, OSS Architecture, Technical Design Authority (TDA) or multi-domain Mobile Network Solution Design

Experience Required

• 8+ years operating in senior technical architecture or solution design roles within telecoms
• Proven ownership of end-to-end mobile network solution design and delivery
• Strong technical problem-solving skills within large-scale, fast-paced environments
