Enterprise Architect

We are seeking an Enterprise Architect to operate across multiple business domains, owning architectural decisions within a defined transversal scope and translating enterprise strategy into target architectures, capability evolution, and transformation roadmaps.

Read on to find out what you will need to succeed in this position, including skills, qualifications, and experience.

Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Architecture, this role connects business strategy, capability planning, and technology delivery. While business-facing, it requires strong technical credibility to challenge architectural decisions, assess distributed solutions, and ensure local choices support the wider enterprise landscape.

The Enterprise Architect leads through influence rather than direct management, partnering with Product, Engineering, Architecture, and senior business stakeholders to turn complex strategic challenges into clear, actionable outcomes.

YOUR PROFILE:

• Proven experience as an Enterprise or Solution Architect in a complex, multi-domain organization, with evidence of shaping direction beyond a single product or technology domain
• Strong business acumen and technical judgement: able to translate strategy, product intent, and capability needs into architecture while credibly challenging technical assumptions and trade-offs
• Strong knowledge of distributed-system design and integration architecture, including domain and service boundaries, synchronous and asynchronous interaction models, event-driven architecture, commands versus events, orchestration and choreography, consistency models, transaction boundaries, idempotency, ordering, concurrency, resilience, failure propagation, data ownership, and contract evolution. Able to identify semantic, temporal, deployment, data, and operational coupling, recognise distributed-monolith failure modes, and select technologies only after the architectural intent and trade-offs are clear.
• Able to turn ambiguous strategic problems into decision-ready options, target states, principles, guardrails, and executable transformation roadmaps
• Skilled in capability mapping, target architecture definition, landscape analysis, and transformation road mapping
• Comfortable operating without formal authority and making difficult cross-domain decisions through influence, credibility, transparency, and clear direction
• Experience contributing to Design Authority-type governance and communicating complex architecture choices simply, including the risks, benefits, dependencies, and consequences of a decision
