G MASS Consulting Enterprise Business Architect Opportunity

G MASS Consulting is supporting a growing UK specialist bank in the search for an Enterprise Business Architect. This is a new position, created to give the bank a single, joined-up view of how it should organise itself for the next stage of its growth. Reporting into senior leadership, the Enterprise Business Architect will take a bank-wide view of how the business is organised, identifying where shared capabilities can be introduced across the lending divisions and where divisional approaches should remain.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with senior leaders to turn strategic goals into a defined set of business capabilities and priorities.
• Create and own the bank’s capability map, advising on what should be centralised and what should remain within the divisions.
• Hold the single transformation roadmap for the bank, ordering initiatives according to value, risk and interdependencies.
• Offer an impartial, bank-wide perspective that helps leadership decide which investments go ahead and when.
• Work hand in hand with the Technology Architecture function so the future technology landscape supports the future shape of the business.
• Set clear context and boundaries for Business Analysis teams, and check that live programmes stay on course with the roadmap.
• Build consensus among divisional heads around a shared operating model, leading through influence rather than instruction.
