Manchester Airport – Hybrid

Help Us Build the World’s Most Intelligent Airports

From the moment passengers arrive to the moment they take off, our aim is to create a seamless, smooth and enjoyable airport experience.

As the largest UK-owned airport operator, we serve more than 60 million passengers each year across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands Airports.

Technology plays a vital role in making this possible. Our mission is to harness technology to create the world’s most intelligent airports - improving journeys for passengers, colleagues and partners alike.

Our technology team works across complex and evolving environments, bringing together expertise, curiosity and collaboration to solve meaningful challenges.

We’re looking for a Solution Architect who enjoys connecting ideas, people and technology to help shape the future of airport innovation.

The Role

As a Solution Architect within our Group Technology division, you’ll play an important role in shaping technology solutions that support our airports today and into the future.

Working closely with product teams and stakeholders across the business, you’ll help design scalable, secure and effective solutions across a range of technology domains.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys seeing the bigger picture while supporting teams to deliver practical solutions.

You may come from a background spanning multiple technology domains and stacks, potentially including engineering, cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and infrastructure.

You’ll likely bring experience such as:

• Experience working within large or complex organisations (for example banking, utilities, aviation, consultancy or similar sectors)
• Experience contributing to or leading solution architecture and technology strategy
• A broad understanding of technology landscapes - familiarity with AWS and/or on-premise environments would be beneficial

We know great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role excites you, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in It for You?

As a Solution Architect at MAG, you’ll help shape the technology that powers millions of passenger journeys every year.

You’ll see the impact of your work in the real world - helping create smarter airports and better travel experiences.

You’ll also be part of a supportive, highly skilled technology community that values collaboration, learning and innovation.

Alongside this, we offer a great benefits package including:

• Bonus scheme
• 10% company contribution pension
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Free parking
• Subsidised public transport
• Wide range of company discounts
• Two volunteering days per year
• Free 24/7 Virtual GP service
