This is a senior technical leadership role with the potential to develop into a CTO position as an expanding satellite communications business continues to grow.

An established organisation is increasing its involvement in long-term government and critical infrastructure programmes. As its satellite ground systems capability scales, there is a need for a Senior Ground Systems Solution Architect to play a central role in shaping how solutions are designed, delivered, and evolved.

This position combines hands-on technical responsibility with a high level of customer interaction and sits at the intersection of RF engineering, software systems integration, antenna design, and project leadership. It offers real influence and visibility across complex, business-critical programmes.

You will sit at the centre of how satellite ground systems are conceived and delivered, from early customer engagement through to deployment and early operations. A significant part of the role involves working directly with customers, understanding requirements, shaping solutions, and acting as the trusted technical authority, while remaining closely involved in the technical detail across multiple disciplines.

There will be occasional travel, primarily to meet customers and support acceptance testing during delivery and handover phases.

As programme activity increases, so does the scope of the role. Over time, this position naturally extends into broader architectural ownership, technical strategy, and leadership across multiple programmes. It is well suited to someone looking to step into senior technology leadership within a growing organisation.

You will be trusted to own end-to-end technical solutions, balancing RF and antenna considerations with software integration and delivery planning. The role combines hands-on engineering with customer-facing leadership and includes shaping system architectures using a mix of in-house capability and partners. You will also influence how engineering standards, delivery approaches, and technical teams develop over time.

What youll need to bring:

• A strong background in satellite communications, particularly ground systems, terminals, gateways, or similar environments
• Experience working across RF engineering, antenna systems, and software-driven integration
• A proven track record of owning or leading complex technical solutions end to end
• Comfort operating in senior, customer-facing technical environments
• The ability to make clear technical decisions and guide technical direction
• Motivation to grow into wider technical and organisational leadership

The role offers the opportunity to play a genuinely influential part in a business with sustained government programme involvement, meaningful technical ownership, and a clear opportunity to progress into executive-level technical leadership as the organisation expands.

This values-led education organisation exists to deliver an ambitious, high-quality and inclusive experience for every pupil, and to help its schools thrive, today and for the future. As part of a central team supporting a community of schools, you'll help shape and strengthen the digital foundations that enable learning, safeguard pupils, and empower staff. It's an exciting time to join: the organisation is investing in its services, learning together across its schools, and building a culture where innovation, collaboration and doing the right thing sit at the heart of decision-making.

The remit spans governance and standards, risk management, policies and compliance, service performance and SLAs, procurement and supplier management, budget ownership, and user enablement (with a strong emphasis on Microsoft 365 adoption and consistent practice). Success in the role will come through strong stakeholder engagement and trusted partnerships working closely with senior leaders, headteachers, safeguarding and governance stakeholders to deliver solutions that directly support excellent education. You'll lead internal teams and third-party providers, embedding a customer-focused culture and continuous improvement, while ensuring safeguarding, online safety, equality and wider statutory responsibilities remain central to how technology is designed, delivered and assured. What you'll need to succeedYou'll bring proven experience of leading and developing nonperforming teams, creating a positive and inclusive culture built on trust, clarity and accountability. You'll be comfortable setting clear expectations, supporting growth, and inspiring others while maintaining high professional standards across your function. You'll have experience leading IT services and digital transformation within a complex, multi-site environment, balancing operational delivery with longer-term strategic change. This includes a strong grounding in IT service management, cyber security and cloud technologies, ensuring services are resilient, secure and fit for purpose across diverse user groups. Strong technical credibility is essential, particularly across modern infrastructure, Microsoft 365 and identity and access governance. You'll understand how good governance, security controls and platform design underpin effective services, and you'll be confident making decisions that support both current needs and future scalability. What you'll get in returnYou'll join a collaborative, values-driven team that is genuinely invested in creating the right conditions for people to grow and succeed.

What We Can Offer You: 25 Days Annual Leave (Pro-Rata for Part-time and Fixed-Term Roles), Additional Holiday Purchase, Hybrid Working, Life Assurance, Vitality Private Healthcare, Subsidised Gym Memberships, Cycle to Work Scheme, Discount Vouchers and Access to Wellbeing Resources

Why Do We Want You

This is a newly created, senior leadership role reporting directly to the CTO, offering the opportunity to shape and elevate how Wilmington delivers large-scale, technically complex change.

We already have a strong project management foundation. What we need now is a technically credible leader who can bring authority, structure, and confidence to the delivery of complex integrations and platform evolution, someone who can connect strategy to execution and raise the bar for technical delivery across the Group.

You ll operate at the heart of Wilmington s technology agenda, working closely with Managing Directors and senior leaders to guide acquired businesses onto a scalable, future-ready platform.

This is a highly visible role for someone who enjoys challenge, influence, and ownership.

This is not a requirements-taking role. You ll be a trusted expert able to challenge assumptions, set clear direction, and articulate what great looks like from a technology and delivery perspective.

Please note: To complete your application, you will be redirected to Wilmington Plc s career site.

At Wilmington Plc, we celebrate individuality and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace. As a Disability Confident employer, we shortlist all applicants who meet the essential role criteria and guarantee an interview for candidates with disabilities who meet these criteria. For reasonable adjustments or to apply under our interview guarantee scheme, please use the contact details provided once you have clicked apply .

Job Purpose, Tasks and Responsibilities

You will be responsible for:

• Owning the end-to-end technical delivery of acquired business onboarding and platform integration, from early discovery through to successful go-live and handover
• Leading programme planning, dependency management, cutover planning, and hypercare, coordinating across engineering, data, Salesforce, ecommerce, and enterprise systems teams to deliver high-quality, low-risk outcomes
• Establishing and embedding repeatable, scalable delivery practices, including onboarding playbooks, runbooks, documentation standards, delivery metrics, risk tracking, and release management processes
• Ensuring controlled, predictable go-lives across multiple integration programmes
• Acting as a senior technical authority, championing Wilmington s composable, microservice-based platform strategy and making sound architectural decisions on integration approaches and system design
• Proactively identifying and mitigating technical risks and support the CTO with technical due diligence for future acquisitions

• Building strong, trusted relationships with acquired business leadership and senior stakeholders, providing clarity, confidence, and momentum through periods of significant change

What s the Best Thing About This Role

This is a rare opportunity to make a visible, lasting impact at a strategic level. You ll play a defining role in delivering Wilmington s technology vision within a well-structured, high-performing environment where learning and improvement are actively encouraged.

Crucially, much of the foundational work has already been done. Major technical debt has been addressed, giving you the opportunity to focus on shaping the future driving innovation, scale, and integration rather than unpicking the past.

What s the Most Challenging Thing About This Role

You ll be working at the intersection of technology, strategy, and stakeholder alignment across multiple businesses.

While executive sponsorship is strong, success will depend on your ability to influence, bring clarity, and guide leaders through change advocating for a centralised, scalable technology approach while balancing commercial realities with technical integrity.

What We re Looking For

To be successful in this role, you must have:

• Deep technical background with hands-on engineering or architecture experience, providing the credibility to confidently interrogate system designs, integration strategies, and technical trade-offs
• Strong expertise in composable, microservice-based architectures, including API design, event-driven integration, and service decomposition
• Proven track record delivering large-scale platform integration or migration programmes across complex, multi-system and multi-vendor environments, including API integration, data migration, identity consolidation, release management, and cutover execution
• Strong capability in Agile delivery, with experience working across multiple scrum teams and bridging project-led and product-led delivery models, applying frameworks such as Scrum and SAFe pragmatically
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with experience leading cross-functional delivery across teams not directly managed and influencing senior internal stakeholders and acquired business leadership

• Beneficial experience with platforms such as Salesforce, Commercetools, Business Central, Administrate, or HubSpot, alongside exposure to M&A or post-acquisition integration programmes and backgrounds in SaaS, professional services, regulatory technology, or listed-company environments
