This role is a great first step into a career in IT Architecture. You will be joining IT Services at one of the biggest Universities in the UK to work on strategic Programmes that underpin critical University systems and processes.

You will work collaboratively with our Architecture team, project managers, business representatives, end-users and technical teams within IT and the wider University to deliver systems that support effective and efficient business processes and align with University Strategy.
