The Role
The Enterprise Architect will provide enterprise architecture capability within the CTO - Insurance(IP&I)/ Consumer/Commercial/Data & AI/Enterprise Functions. Working within agreed architectural direction, the role supports the development, documentation, and assurance of end-to-end architectures across multiple domains. This includes shaping solution designs, supporting feasibility assessments and roadmaps, producing architectural artefacts, identifying cross-domain dependencies and risks, and contributing to architecture governance.
The role works closely with delivery, platform, and engineering teams to maintain architectural coherence while enabling pragmatic delivery.
The role requires strong technical architecture skills across applications, integration, data, infrastructure, and cloud platforms. This includes hands-on capability in defining hybrid cloud and hosting architectures, API-led and event-driven integration patterns, and non-functional design covering security, resilience, availability, and regulatory requirements. The Enterprise Architect is expected to produce and assess solution designs, architecture decision records, and target-state models, applying sound engineering judgement and trade-off analysis. Success in the role depends on the ability to engage deeply with engineering teams, understand modern delivery practices, and working within technology guardrails from across the broader organization.
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.
