We're working with a public sector body who are seeking an experienced Enterprise Architect to lead the design and delivery of a future-ready technology landscape over a two-year transformation programme, as they transition to bringing their IT function in-house.

• Provide oversight and direction on solution design, ensuring scalability, security and sustainability
• Support transformation projects with expert input across platforms, systems and services
• Identify opportunities for innovation through the evaluation of emerging technologies

About You

• Proven experience in an Enterprise Architect role, ideally within a government body, if not then within a public sector, non-profit, or membership-led organisation
• Strong understanding across all architecture domains: business, applications, data, and infrastructure
• Demonstrated experience supporting large service transition programmes (ideally moving from an outsourced service to in-house)
