Why this job matters
Have you ever wanted to shape the future of enterprise networks and digital strategies in a meaningful way?
As part of our Solution Design Authority practice, you’ll collaborate with defence customers, support internal teams (Sales, Business, Technology, Security, and Operations), and work with third-party technology providers. Reporting to the Solution Design Authority Manager, you’ll play a key role in delivering transformative solutions.
You’ll involve in engaging stakeholders to design innovative enterprise network solutions that align with digital strategies and advance business goals. Drawing on robust ICT frameworks, security principles, and industry best practices, you’ll provide architectural expertise and guide projects through from start to finish stages of the design and delivery lifecycle.
Joining an industry-leading technical team, you’ll work alongside architects, designers, and analysts, applying your expertise to tackle unique and unexpected challenges. Together, you’ll create tailored solutions that ensure success for every project.
What You’ll Be Doing
Benefits of working for BT include:
We’re a global leader for secure connectivity and collaboration platforms for businesses of all shapes and sizes, from big household names and government departments, right through to sole traders and new start-ups. But it’s not just the technology that matters, it’s what it can do to help them build stronger, smarter, more secure businesses.
We value diversity and inclusion and believe in making a positive impact. We connect for good by championing digital inclusion and equipping people, businesses, and communities with digital skills to thrive.
As a member of our team, you will be part of an organisation that celebrates difference, fosters innovation and provides you with opportunities to be your best. With millions of businesses relying on us daily, joining BT means you can be part of a diverse and multi-skilled team that makes a significant impact to society.
A FEW POINTS TO NOTE:
Although these roles are listed as full-time, if you’re a job share partnership, work reduced hours, or any other way of working flexibly, please still get in touch.
We will also offer reasonable adjustments for the selection process if required, so please do not hesitate to inform us.
DON'T MEET EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT?
Studies have shown that women and people who are disabled, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse or from ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification and criteria. We're committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace where everyone can be their best, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement on the Job Description, please apply anyway - you may just be the right candidate for this or other roles in our wider team.
