Enterprise Architect
Job Introduction
Are you someone who sees the bigger picture and knows how to bring it to life through smart, scalable tech? We’re looking for an Enterprise Architect to help shape the future of our organisation—connecting strategic goals with the technology that makes them happen. This is a senior role with real influence, guiding investment decisions, and architectural standards across the business. Success here means delivering a future\-ready architecture that balances innovation, cost, and complexity while keeping everything aligned and on track. This role is based in Wakefield, just off Junction 41 on the M1 with hybrid working (2–3 days a week on site).
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll define and maintain our enterprise architecture strategy, making sure it reflects business priorities and supports long\-term growth. From shaping roadmaps and guiding investment decisions to leading design authorities and reviewing solution proposals, you’ll be at the heart of architectural governance.
Working across platforms and services, you’ll create and maintain artefacts, standards, and principles that steer technical decision\-making. You’ll also play a key role in integrating emerging technologies into our plans, helping us stay ahead of the curve and drive real business value.
Collaboration is key—you’ll build strong relationships with business leaders, service owners, delivery teams, and external partners to ensure architecture intent is clearly communicated and consistently adopted. And you’ll support vendor coordination to make sure everything fits seamlessly into our wider ecosystem.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven expertise in enterprise and solution architecture, with deep knowledge of frameworks like TOGAF and tools such as LeanIX.
- Experience shaping IT strategy, roadmaps, and technology portfolios in line with business goals.
- Strong technical knowledge across integration platforms, cloud architecture (Azure preferred), data platforms, and enterprise applications.
- A strategic thinker who can assess emerging technologies and translate them into business value.
- Confident in leading governance processes, architecture boards, and stakeholder engagement across executive and technical audiences.
- Typically educated to degree level or equivalent experience, with architecture certifications (e.g., TOGAF, BCS) highly desirable.
