  • Manage the UK instance of our architecture repository, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with our global solution ecosystem.

  • Lead and facilitate complex discussions with business and IT stakeholders to shape our architecture landscape.

  • Participate in strategy development, identifying new opportunities, and building value cases to support business innovation.

  • Ensure that future business capabilities—across infrastructure, applications, and business functions—are fully accounted for in our Enterprise Architecture.

ABOUT YOU

  • Proven experience in Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architecture, or Systems Engineering.

  • The ability to effectively explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

  • Strong interpersonal skills and a track record of communicating and integrating effectively within a transnational team.

  • Demonstrated experience in stakeholder management.
