The Enterprise Architect will provide enterprise architecture capability within the CTO
Insurance, Pensions & Investments (IP&I) organisation. Working within agreed architectural
direction, the role supports the development, documentation, and assurance of end-to-end
architectures across multiple IP&I 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 organisation.
