About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and visionary Senior Enterprise Architect to lead the technical strategy and governance for a high-profile, multi-million pound digital transformation programme in the telecommunications sector. This role is critical to ensuring the successful design and delivery of complex, time-sensitive BSS/OSS ecosystems that support business-critical operations for a major telecom client. The ideal candidate will possess deep domain knowledge in telecoms architecture, strong technical governance capabilities, and a proven track record in thought leadership across cross-functional and vendor-led delivery environments.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic & Technical Leadership

  • Define and lead the enterprise architecture vision, aligning it with business strategy and programme objectives.
  • Act as the technical authority across the programme, providing architectural direction and technology roadmap evolution.
  • Deliver technical thought leadership, driving innovation, standardisation, and adoption of best practices across BSS/OSS layers.

Governance & Oversight

  • Establish and enforce technical governance frameworks and architecture principles across all programme phases.
  • Ensure architecture artefacts, decision logs, and design documentation meet compliance, quality, and audit requirements.
  • Facilitate architecture reviews, design assurance, and risk management activities with internal and external stakeholders.

Solution Delivery

  • Lead the design of scalable, modular, and resilient BSS/OSS solutions, integrating with legacy systems and modern platforms.
  • Oversee solution architecture workstreams across multiple delivery teams and ensure consistency with target state architecture.
  • Translate business and operational requirements into technology designs that are deliverable within programme constraints.
  • Document and communicate the technology designs to the delivery teams and provide support in the execution of the delivery of the programme.

Stakeholder Management

  • Partner with executives, programme directors, product owners, and delivery teams to align architecture with delivery milestones.
  • Engage and influence client stakeholders, third-party vendors, and system integrators to drive architectural consensus.
  • Present complex technical solutions in clear, compelling ways to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Required Experience & Skills

  • 10+ years in enterprise architecture roles, with recent experience in telecoms sector.
  • Proven success in leading architecture for large-scale BSS/OSS transformation programmes.
  • Deep understanding of telecom standards, protocols, and technologies (TM Forum frameworks, Open APIs, 5G readiness).
  • Strong capability in architecture governance, enterprise frameworks (e.g., TOGAF), and agile or hybrid programme delivery.
  • Experience in multi-vendor environments, managing cross-functional architecture inputs, and driving end-to-end integration.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and leadership skills.
  • Willingness to travel and spend time onsite internationally.
  • Experience with cloud-native architectures (e.g., AWS, Azure), Kubernetes, microservices, and DevSecOps practices.
  • Familiarity with data architecture, AI/ML applications in telecom, and enterprise security models.
  • Certification in TOGAF, TM Forum, or related architecture frameworks.
