London, United Kingdom Queen Mary University of London Full time

About the Role 

As the Head of Enterprise Architecture, you'll be the linchpin in developing a coherent and strategic IT framework that propels our client towards achieving its ambitious objectives. Your role is instrumental in nurturing a culture of transparency, efficiency, and innovation within the IT organisation, ensuring their technology investments deliver real value and align with their strategic ambitions.

Reporting to the Assistant Director of Information Services, your leadership will be crucial in cultivating an Enterprise Architecture Function that stands as a beacon of excellence and strategic foresight. Your responsibilities will span the creation and nurturing of the Enterprise Architecture function and programme, leading its strategy, vision, and guiding principles to foster a robust IT ecosystem that champions equity, effectiveness, and economy.

Your thought leadership will guide the client through the digital maze, aligning technology with their strategic vision to unlock new opportunities and navigate disruptive forces. With a focus on enabling, rather than constraining, you will champion the delivery of actionable, signature-ready recommendations that resonate at the highest levels of decision-making.

The essence of your role encapsulates a harmonious blend of strategy and practical execution. From overseeing the development of business, information, solutions, and technical architectures to working closely with the Head of Information Security to fortify their digital fortress, your impact will be both profound and pervasive.

About You 

You will need to have a proven track record as a hands-on Architect (either a Solutions Architect, Enterprise Architect, Cloud Architect or Data Architect), and you should be well-equipped with expertise across various disciplines, from architecture to operations, underpinned by a demonstrable track record of steering complex organisations through strategic and operational evolutions.

About the Department

At Queen Mary University of London, our aim is to become the most inclusive University of its kind, anywhere. In line with this mission, IT Services have set up a Women in Technology network to encourage collaboration with cross-functional teams to support the professional development, mentorship, and leadership opportunities for women in the Directorate. Recognising the underrepresentation of women in IT Services, the Network aims to promote the growth and advancement of women in our technology workforce.

Benefits

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.

A temporary market supplement is attached to this post, which is a separate payment in addition to the normal salary. A review of market conditions will be carried out periodically to establish if the market supplement should continue.

Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
