Contract Enterprise Architect

Location: South Yorkshire (Hybrid)

Day Rate: Competitive

Duration: 6 Months+

Overview

A leading UK-based Transport organisation is seeking a Contract Enterprise Architect to support a large-scale and evolving technology landscape.

The business operates across multiple service lines and supports a broad customer base, with a significant operational footprint and an increasing reliance on digital platforms and data. As part of ongoing transformation initiatives, there is a need to strengthen architectural alignment across the organisation and ensure technology investments are delivering measurable business value.

The Opportunity

This is a strategic, high-impact role with exposure to senior leadership.

You will be responsible for shaping and governing enterprise architecture in an environment that combines operational systems, customer-facing platforms, and data-driven capabilities. The organisation is delivering a range of transformation programmes aimed at modernising legacy systems, improving efficiency, and enabling better decision making through technology.

This role requires a pragmatic and commercially aware Enterprise Architect who can operate effectively across a complex landscape, providing direction, challenge, and clarity rather than purely documentation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve enterprise architecture strategy aligned to business priorities

  • Provide governance and assurance across multiple transformation initiatives

  • Develop target state architectures, roadmaps, and transition plans

  • Partner with senior stakeholders to influence technology direction and investment decisions

  • Ensure alignment across business, data, applications, and infrastructure

  • Identify opportunities to simplify and optimise the existing technology estate

  • Support programme delivery through architectural guidance and decision-making

  • Embed proportionate and pragmatic architecture standards and practices

Key Experience Required
  • Proven experience operating as an Enterprise Architect within complex organisations

  • Strong track record aligning technology strategy with business outcomes

  • Experience working across multiple architecture domains

  • Ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders, including C-suite

  • Experience in large-scale transformation or modernisation programmes

  • Familiarity with architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF), applied in a practical manner

  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to link technology decisions to value

Desirable
  • Experience in operationally complex or multi-service organisations

  • Exposure to organisations with a mix of physical operations and digital platforms

  • Experience supporting major change, integration, or optimisation initiatives

  • Awareness of data-led and platform-driven transformation approaches
