Job Description
This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2 days a week.
As the UK’s largest independent full fibre network and wholesale platform of choice, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.
Our network is greener, more reliable and designed for the future. The products we run over it lead the way on speed, value and service - helping businesses to innovate, communities to thrive, and people to live more connected digital lives.
At CityFibre, you’ll be part of something bigger, helping to build a better-connected Britain, together.
Joining us as an Enterprise Architect
You'll play a pivotal role in solving complex business, customer technology and data challenges, creating innovative digital enterprise solutions and shaping the future technology landscape across CityFibre. You’ll provide architecture expertise throughout the full design lifecycle, developing strategic roadmaps that align technology investments with business goals.
You’ll receive a competitive salary, and a performance related bonus.
This is some of what you can expect to be doing:
- Define and maintain current and future state architectures, developing strategic roadmaps that support investment and project prioritisation decisions.
- Establish architecture principles, governance frameworks and data policies while leading architecture reviews and assurance activities across programmes and projects.
- Create and deliver enterprise architecture strategies that align business objectives with technology capabilities and future data requirements.
- Lead the design of innovative enterprise, OSS and BSS architectures, ensuring solutions are robust, cost-effective and aligned to business strategy.
- Support the early shaping of programmes and projects through impact analysis, estimation, business case input and solution design guidance.
- Work closely with stakeholders across the business and third-party suppliers to identify opportunities, improve processes and deliver architecturally viable solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
