​I’m looking for an experienced Functional Architect with strong ETRM and Energy Trading domain expertise for a strategic architecture role.

This is not a hands-on engineering role. The organisation already has strong Solution Architects and Engineers. The key requirement is someone who can provide functional architecture, target-state definition and architectural governance to ensure tactical deliveries align with a coherent long-term architecture.

Key experience:

• Functional / Domain Architecture within Energy Trading or Utilities

• Strong ETRM experience – Aligne, Endur/Openlink or similar

• Target-state architecture & transition roadmaps

• Energy trading processes – Power/Gas, Scheduling, Nominations, Positions, Risk & Settlements

• Architecture governance and tactical vs. strategic solution assessment

• ETRM platform rationalisation and technical-debt reduction

• Enterprise data, canonical data models & integration architecture

• High-volume / half-hourly smart meter data and time-series modelling

• APIs, Kafka/event-driven architecture and modern data platforms

The ideal candidate will be comfortable challenging tactical decisions, defining architectural guardrails and ensuring individual use cases contribute towards a sustainable target state.
