Lead the Enterprise Technology Strategy of a Business Investing Heavily in its Digital Future
Our client is embarking on a major enterprise-wide technology transformation, supported by significant investment and a clear long-term digital strategy. This is an opportunity to become the organisation's Enterprise Architecture leader, shaping how technology enables future growth across cloud, enterprise applications, data, AI, automation and modern digital platforms.

If you enjoy influencing at Board level, solving complex business challenges and building enterprise technology that genuinely transforms organisations, this is the role you've been waiting for.

This is far more than a traditional Enterprise Architect position.
You'll be joining an organisation that sees technology as a strategic business enabler rather than simply an IT function. You'll influence investment decisions, shape technology direction and help create an architecture capable of supporting long-term growth, innovation and operational excellence.
Working across multiple business functions, you'll bridge the gap between commercial strategy and technical delivery, ensuring technology decisions create measurable business value.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own the and help define the Enterprise Architecture strategy.
- Support the long-term technology roadmap aligned to business objectives.
- Lead architecture across Microsoft Azure and enterprise cloud platforms.
- Shape future enterprise applications and modernise existing technology.
- Design scalable integration strategies using APIs, Azure Integration Services and cloud-native technologies.
- Drive architecture across AI, Microsoft Copilot, automation and emerging technologies.
- Establish architecture governance, standards and best practice.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend future investment.
- Work closely with Executive stakeholders to understand strategic priorities and translate these into enterprise technology solutions.
- Partner with Software Engineering, Data, Infrastructure and Delivery teams to ensure architectural consistency across programmes.
- Become the trusted technology adviser to senior business leaders.

You'll understand how CRM platforms interact with finance, contracts, billing, operational workflows, compliance, data platforms and customer lifecycle management, enabling technology to support both commercial growth and operational delivery.
