Enterprise Architect



Location: London - Hybrid (UK travel required) Salary: £100,000-£110,000 per annum Contract: Permanent, Full-Time Start: Immediate / Short Notice Preferred



The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Architect to join a growing UK Digital Strategy and Enterprise Architecture practice within a leading global technology and digital transformation consultancy.

This is a senior strategic appointment, offering the opportunity to shape enterprise-wide technology strategies and lead complex transformation programmes for major UK organisations.

You will work closely with senior business and technology stakeholders, including CIOs, CTOs and other C-suite executives, to ensure technology investments support wider business objectives. You will take a holistic view of enterprise technology landscapes, spanning applications, data, infrastructure and business capabilities, defining future-state architectures and practical roadmaps for transformation.

This is not a traditional Solutions Architect position. We are looking for someone with genuine enterprise-wide architectural experience who can combine strategic vision, technical understanding and commercial awareness.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and lead enterprise architecture strategies, including current-state assessments, target-state designs and transformation roadmaps.

• Assess complex enterprise technology environments, identifying opportunities for modernisation, simplification, optimisation and cost reduction.

• Lead application portfolio rationalisation, developing strategies to retain, replatform, refactor or retire legacy systems.

• Establish and oversee architecture governance frameworks, including Architecture Review Boards (ARBs), standards and architectural principles.

• Ensure architecture strategies align with relevant regulatory, security and compliance requirements, including UK GDPR, DORA and Cyber Essentials Plus.

• Act as a senior architectural advisor to C-suite stakeholders, translating complex technical considerations into clear business and commercial recommendations.

• Support pre-sales activities, leading architectural input into proposals, RFPs, solution scoping and client presentations.

• Work collaboratively with Data, AI and Cloud teams to ensure solutions align with the wider enterprise architecture.

• Contribute to thought leadership, developing architectural frameworks, whitepapers and strategic recommendations around enterprise transformation and modernisation.
  
  

Skills & Experience

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• 12+ years' experience within IT, including at least 5 years in a dedicated Enterprise Architect position.

• Experience working within a global technology consultancy or large-scale enterprise environment.

• Strong knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks, ideally TOGAF 10, Zachman or SAFe.

• Proven experience assessing and rationalising complex application portfolios and legacy technology estates.

• Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, API-led architectures and hybrid/multi-cloud environments.

• Broad architectural knowledge across AWS, Azure and/or GCP.

• Experience establishing architecture governance, standards and review processes.

• The ability to engage and influence senior business and technology stakeholders.

• Strong commercial awareness, with experience supporting client engagements, bids and pre-sales activities.

• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present complex architectural concepts through clear diagrams, roadmaps and executive-level presentations.
  
  

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems or a related technical discipline.

• TOGAF certification and/or relevant AWS or Azure professional certifications would be advantageous.
  
  

Additional Requirements

• Must have existing UK right to work. Visa sponsorship is not available.

• Immediate availability or a notice period of no more than four weeks is strongly preferred.

• Hybrid working arrangement, with London as the primary location and travel to UK client sites as required.

Interested? If you are an established Enterprise Architect looking for a senior strategic role where you can influence enterprise-wide transformation and work directly with executive stakeholders, we would be keen to hear from you.
