The Role: Senior Solution Architect
G4S Care & Rehabilitation Services (CaRS) is seeking a highly experienced Senior Solution Architect to join our Business Development Team.

- Continuous Improvement: Integrate lessons learned and MoJ feedback into future bid responses.
2. Quality Assurance & Compliance</strong>
- Strict Adherence: Ensure absolute compliance with all MoJ specifications, word counts, and formatting rules to prevent disqualification.
- Rigorous Editing: Perform detailed line-editing and proofing for clarity, technical accuracy, grammar, and consistent "one-voice" tonality across the submission.
- Evidence Base: Maintain and build a robust library of evidence, statistics, and case studies related to key performance indicators (e.g., reoffending rates, safety audits).
- Review Coordination: Manage internal proposal reviews, efficiently incorporating feedback while protecting the integrity of the core narrative.
3. Stakeholder Collaboration & Knowledge Management</strong>
- SME Engagement: Confidently interview and collaborate with technical experts, extracting critical information and converting technical jargon into accessible, benefit-led prose.
- Capability Showcasing: Develop high-quality case studies demonstrating G4S's track record.
- Market Intelligence: Contribute to ongoing research into clients, competitors, and market trends.
