  • Guide strategic programmes such as finance system transformation, data platform development, AI adoption and automation initiatives.
  • Provide architectural direction for Microsoft-based environments including Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform and integration technologies.
  • Identify and address architectural risks, technical debt and duplication.
  • Work with stakeholders, delivery teams and suppliers to ensure architecture is embedded throughout procurement, design and delivery.
  • Lead and develop a small team of specialist technology professionals.
  • Manage technology platform and service budgets of approximately 500k-1m.

Essential Experience

  • Significant experience in Enterprise Architecture within complex organisations.
  • Strong background designing architectures across business systems, cloud platforms, data environments and integrations.
  • Experience working within Microsoft-centric ecosystems, including Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform and modern data platforms.
  • Deep understanding of integration patterns, interoperability and enterprise data flows.
  • Experience establishing architecture governance and assurance processes.
  • Ability to communicate complex architectural concepts to senior non-technical stakeholders.
  • Knowledge of security, compliance and risk considerations in enterprise environments.
  • Experience supporting large-scale transformation and technology modernisation programmes.

Desirable Experience

  • Knowledge of Enterprise Architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or equivalent.
  • Experience with AI-enabled services, analytics and enterprise data platforms.
  • Experience defining architectural operating models and building internal architecture capability.
  • Experience supporting ERP, finance transformation or large-scale digital programmes.

Key Deliverables

  • Enterprise Architecture framework, principles and standards.
  • Architecture governance model and Architecture Review Board.
  • Target-state architectures and technology roadmaps.
  • Architecture repository and Architecture Decision Record (ADR) framework.
  • Architectural support for strategic transformation initiatives.
  • Mentoring and capability development for internal technical teams.
