Manage the outward communications channels and raise the profile of EA.

Supporting the Chief Technology Officers and Lead Architects through the communication of:

Centrally managed catalogues

Strategic technologies and vendors

A broad foundational understanding of IT and related concepts with the ability to provide technical challenge where appropriate.

Excellent organisational skills with the ability to plan and prioritise effectively and to organise others.

Effective interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to understand and summarise complex topics in in a way which can easily be consumed by others and able to flex and adapt style to influence others at all levels.

Experience working in a project environment with exposure to Waterfall and Agile methodologies.

Experience of Microsoft productivity tools, such as Microsoft Excel and SharePoint.

Nice to have:

Experience working with Microsoft Power Platform.

Familiarity with one or more architecture frameworks, e.g., TOGAF.
