About This Role
*Help shape the future of technology at one of the UK’s leading charities
We’re delighted to confirm an exciting new role as Enterprise Architect at one of the UK’s most recognised charitable organisations. Facing a significant Digital, Data & Technology transformation, we’ve launched a full high-level revamp of their architectural foundations, including:
- Modernising the organisation’s technology estate
- Adopting product-led ways of working
- Establishing the foundations for long-term digital success

The Opportunity
In this role, you’ll:
Key Responsibilities
- Develop architectural principles, standards and target-state roadmaps that drive the future technology strategy
- Initially enforce guardrails on technology rather than approval—collaborating with stakeholders to balance innovation, security, resilience, cost and operational effectiveness
- Work closely with technical teams and senior stakeholders to simplify complex or fragmented systems
- Ensure clear architectural governance that aligns with delivery goals while advocating for high standards
