Technical Solutions Lead
Some people write code. Some people manage vendors. But you — you see the entire technical landscape. You understand how systems talk to each other, where data flows cleanly (or doesn’t), and how one small architectural decision today can become a massive dependency tomorrow.
If that sounds like your kind of thinking, this role will feel like home.
Our client, a top travel and eco adventure company, is searching for a Technical Solutions Lead who can blend hands‑on technical contribution with solution oversight across a complex digital and internal systems environment. This is the person who keeps the ecosystem coherent, scalable, secure, and aligned to a long‑term technology direction — not a patchwork of quick fixes.
This is not a pure development role. It’s a technical leadership seat for someone who can challenge proposals, guide vendors, protect architecture integrity, and still roll up their sleeves when needed.
What You’ll Lead
- Technical oversight across digital products, internal systems, upgrades, and solution changes.
- Hands‑on contribution to development, integrations, reporting, data analysis, troubleshooting, and platform enhancements.
- Assessment of vendor and solution proposals — architecture, data, security, integration, sustainability.
- Coordination of system upgrades, integrations, platform changes, and technical initiatives.
- Guiding external developers and vendors to deliver fit‑for‑purpose solutions aligned to the organisation’s ecosystem.
- Close collaboration with Infrastructure, Systems Ops, development teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
- Identification and escalation of risks: vendor lock‑in, fragmented architecture, weak integrations, poor data structures, duplicated capability, unsupported tools, security gaps.
- Championing standardisation, reuse, integration discipline, and cohesive architecture across the business.
- Providing clear recommendations on risks, trade‑offs, dependencies, compatibility, and long‑term impacts.
What You Bring
- ±5+ years in a hands‑on technical role (Technical Lead, Senior Developer, Solution Analyst).
- Strong experience building and supporting enterprise systems, integrations, and data solutions.
- Solid SQL skills — queries, stored procedures, data structures.
- Hands‑on experience with APIs, integrations, reporting tools (Power BI, SSRS), or modern frameworks.
- Experience designing and working with system integrations, data flows, and dependencies.
- Comfortable working across development teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
- Ability to communicate technical solutions, risks, and trade‑offs clearly and confidently.
Your Strengths
- Strong problem‑solving across systems, data, and integrations.
- Understanding of system design, scalability, and technical dependencies.
- Ability to plan and support system builds, changes, and implementations.
- Confident engaging with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Analytical, detail‑driven, structured.
Bonus Points For
- Experience in architecture, IT governance, or digital transformation.
- Exposure to SaaS, CRM, or customer‑facing platforms.
- Certifications: Agile, ITIL, TOGAF, data or security.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be the person who protects the organisation from fragmented systems, unnecessary complexity, and vendor‑driven decisions. You’ll help build a unified, scalable digital ecosystem that supports long‑term growth — not just short‑term fixes.
If you’re a technical thinker who loves clarity, structure, and sustainable architecture, this is your next move.
