Whether your focus is on work-life balance, career advancement, sustainability, or community involvement, you'll discover like-minded individuals propelling change within our organization.

The Group IT Enterprise Architecture function is charged with aligning our technological strategy with our broader business objectives. This involves:

  1. Ensuring the integrity of solution architecture and key design decisions across all change initiatives in accordance with technical suitability, group standards, policies, and principles.

We are embarking on several strategic systems and technology transformation endeavors across our business units and global regions. The Enterprise Architect will play a pivotal role within the Group IT Enterprise Architecture function, overseeing and enhancing our enterprise architecture capability.

The Enterprise Architect will be responsible for:

  • Facilitating group architecture governance forums, including developing decision-making frameworks, scheduling and conducting meetings, and reporting on governance metrics and outcomes.
  • Conducting due diligence on vendor systems/solutions to ensure alignment with group IT policies and standards.
  • Providing enterprise architecture guidance and direction in key change program/project and business stakeholder meetings as needed.
  • Spearheading the continuous improvement plan for group IT enterprise architecture.

As a senior member, you may be called upon to undertake broader duties and tasks within the scope of the role.

  • Extensive experience in architecture and IT governance, including establishing and managing group-wide/global Architecture Review Boards and Design Authority for major change programs.

  • Expertise in enterprise and solution architecture using industry-standard frameworks and methodologies such as TOGAF and BCS.
  • Strong technical skills in defining systems and technology solution architecture, particularly using Microsoft Azure and Salesforce technologies.
