SENIOR INTERIM - Director of Enterprise Architecture
FULLY REMOTE
Mid - Long Term Interim Appointment
Highly Competitive Salary (open to daily rate interims)
Eutopia Search are partnering a leading UK organisation to appoint a Senior Director of Enterprise Architecture. This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for shaping the organisation’s enterprise architecture, technology, data, integration and AI strategy, ensuring technology investment supports both immediate business priorities and longer-term transformation.
The successful candidate will work closely with Executive, Technology, Digital, Data and operational leadership teams, providing clear strategic direction while ensuring architecture remains pragmatic and supports delivery at pace.
Seeking an experienced Director of Enterprise Architecture with a proven track record across SAP/S4HANA, as well as leading multi-million business transformation projects.
The Role
As Director of Enterprise Architecture, you will lead the Enterprise Architecture function and help define the future technology landscape across a complex, multi-site organisation.
You will have significant influence across major transformation programmes spanning ERP, digital platforms, data, integration, cloud and AI.
This is not an architecture role focused purely on frameworks and governance. We are looking for someone who can connect business strategy with technology strategy, simplify complex environments and help the organisation make better long-term technology decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Define and maintain the organisation's enterprise technology strategy and multi-year roadmap.
- Lead the Enterprise Architecture function and develop the capability of the wider architecture team.
- Provide architectural leadership across major transformation programmes, including ERP, CRM, digital, data and integration.
- Shape the organisation's approach to AI adoption and responsible AI governance.
- Develop the strategy for data, APIs, integration and interoperability across the technology estate.
- Ensure architecture is embedded early within major programmes and investment decisions.
- Lead architecture governance, standards and design assurance without creating unnecessary barriers to delivery.
- Identify opportunities to simplify the technology estate, reduce duplication and improve platform alignment.
- Evaluate new technologies, suppliers and strategic technology partners.
- Work closely with Cyber Security, Data, Risk, Procurement and other specialist functions.
- Provide clear technology recommendations and strategic insight to senior leadership, Executive and Board-level stakeholders.
- Support technology investment planning, business cases and major procurement decisions.
About You:
We are looking for an established senior technology and architecture leader who has operated within a large, complex and ideally regulated organisation.
