Future-State Architecture Roadmapping Capability Modelling

Are you a strategic thinker who can translate complex business needs into clear, long-term architectural direction? We're looking for an AI Enterprise Architect to shape the future-state architecture of a large, data-driven organisation - defining capabilities, governance frameworks and technology roadmaps that enable sustainable, scalable growth.

This role will suit someone who brings a balance of big-picture vision and practical delivery experience, alongside the communication skills to influence senior stakeholders.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll take ownership of the organisation's long-term architectural planning and ensure change programmes are aligned to a coherent, well-governed architecture. Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the development of future-state business and technology architectures
• Creating and maintaining capability models to guide investment and transformation activity
• Developing architecture principles, standards and governance processes
• Working across portfolios and change programmes to ensure architectural alignment
• Building and maintaining technology roadmaps that support strategic priorities

Who we're looking for

You'll be someone who is comfortable operating at an enterprise level, shaping architectural direction while remaining hands-on enough to work with delivery teams.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience in enterprise-level architecture delivery
• Strong background in data-oriented organisations or data-heavy environments
• Experience supporting large portfolios or complex change programmes
• Proficiency with architecture frameworks, modelling approaches and architecture tooling
• Excellent communication, able to influence and guide both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Why this role?

This is a high-impact opportunity to set architectural direction across a major organisation, shaping how technology, data and business capabilities evolve over time. You'll work at the intersection of strategy and delivery, with the autonomy to bring clarity, governance and future-focused thinking to some of the organisation's most important initiatives.
