- Support design activities across IT, ensuring conformance with the Technical Design Authority governance process.
- Provide technical and architectural guidance to programmes and projects, balancing architectural rigor with delivery pragmatism.
- Provide architecture governance for design activities, including security and data architecture considerations.
- Develop, utilise and maintain architecture artefacts (Architecture Definition Documents, Solution Building Blocks, Architecture Requirements Specifications, ArchiMate models) within the Architecture Repository.
- Develop and present business cases and cost-benefit analyses for solution options to support investment decisions.
- Maintain awareness of internal and external compliance requirements (e.g. data protection, ISO 19650/BIM, sector regulation) and their application to solution designs.
- Contribute to maturing and promoting the Enterprise Architecture capability, including mentoring and knowledge-sharing across the architecture community.
