About the Role
We are seeking a technically accomplished and strategically driven Enterprise Architect to join the Technology Strategy & Insights team. This role is central to shaping and delivering the Group’s Technology Strategy, with a strong emphasis on architectural leadership, engineering depth, and strategic foresight.
You will define and drive architectural direction across multiple domains, ensuring it is grounded in internal drivers and responsive to external trends. Operating in a fast-paced, complex technology environment, much like an internal consultancy, you’ll influence executive decision-making and help steer the Group’s transformation agenda.
Key Responsibilities
Define and evolve enterprise architecture strategies that underpin the Group’s technology north star. Develop architecture roadmaps, guardrails, and patterns that enable simplification, modernisation, and composability.
Lead the formulation of technical direction across cloud, data, infrastructure, and application domains. Apply deep knowledge of cloud-native architectures (Azure, GCP, AWS), microservices, API gateways, CI/CD, and containerisation to guide solution design and delivery.
Monitor and assess emerging technologies (AI, Digital Assets, Composability) and industry trends to inform strategic decisions and future-proof the Group’s technology landscape.
Engage with senior stakeholders across CTO, GEC, and IT Board to shape investment decisions and ensure architectural coherence across programmes. Translate complex technical detail into executive-level narratives and strategic recommendations.
Represent the CTO vision in external forums, contributing to industry dialogue and reinforcing the Group’s position as a digital leader.
