  • With valuable exposure, you'll cultivate and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including business leaders, technology teams, and external partners, to enhance understanding and support for the strategic target data architecture

What you'll do

  • Contributing to shaping and identifying opportunities for simplification and reuse within strategic investment programmes
  • Collaborating with business and digital leaders to evolve architectural direction, ensuring that decisions and designs are documented in accordance with organisational standards
  • Keeping up-to-date with emerging technologies, identifying potential opportunities and threats and raising them with the Architecture Council for further evaluation
The skills you'll need

To succeed in this role, you'll need extensive knowledge of data architecture frameworks, modelling with a good knowledge of the remaining architecture and data management disciplines.

You'll bring experience of defining and developing strategic target architectures that align with organisational objectives. This will include experience of engaging with partners across the organisation to define architectures that deliver tangible business outcomes.

You'll also demonstrate experience of:

  • Collaborative decision-making processes, partnering with business and technology colleagues to articulate and evolve architectural direction
  • Creating business cases to influence senior stakeholders to secure investment for architecture initiatives
  • Overseeing and assuring the quality of architecture designs, with a focus on risk management and governance
