We are seeking an Enterprise Architect to guide a major transformation programme through complexity and change.

Key Responsibilities:

Guide specialist architects and suppliers, keeping the enterprise view coherent and consistent.
Balance strategic thinking with pragmatic delivery in a politically complex environment.

Significant experience as an Enterprise or Domain Architect, ideally with a foundation in Solution Architecture.
Strong knowledge across business, application, and data architecture (not infrastructure heavy).
Proven leadership of architecture at programme/enterprise scale within major transformations.
Track record of delivering measurable business outcomes (cost savings, efficiency, growth).
Resilience in navigating ambiguous and politically sensitive environments.
Awareness of key platforms: Microsoft Azure, Oracle ERP, Salesforce (not hands-on SME depth, but strong enough to guide direction).
