Our client is looking for a Senior Enterprise Architect to join a major Commercial Banking transformation programme, providing enterprise architecture leadership across Consumer Servicing & Engagement / Client Services & Engagement. You’ll work across multiple technology domains to shape end-to-end architectures, define target-state solutions and ensure architectural coherence across applications, integration, data, infrastructure and cloud. This is a hands-on architecture role, suited to someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical technical delivery and engage confidently with engineering, delivery and senior business stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Define high-level, target-state and future-state architectures, roadmaps and emerging technology views.
- Support the development of Architecture as Code, reusable architecture components and composable architecture patterns.
- Provide architectural guidance, standards, principles and technology guardrails.
- Shape transition states, solution designs and architecture delivery roadmaps.
- Work closely with programme and workstream leads to define scope, requirements and architecture.
- Design hybrid cloud, API-led and event-driven architectures across complex enterprise environments.
- Produce and assess architecture artefacts, decision records, designs and data delivery patterns.
- Identify cross-domain dependencies, risks and technical trade-offs.
- Engage with internal and external stakeholders to align technology strategy with business outcomes.
- Explore emerging technologies including Generative AI and Agentic AI to support intelligent automation and improved customer servicing.
