Director of Architecture opportunity working for a market leading organisation who have several well recognised businesses as part of their Group. This is a great time to join the organisation as they have recently completed a large acquisition that has added significant value and size to the business. Now with over 10,000 employees and a turnover in the GBPbillions this is an organisation that has the financial stability and spending power to make transformative technology decisions.

Due to the acquisitive nature of the business and the large-scale growth they have experienced over recent years now is the right time to form a Group IT function. This function will be made up of circa 200 employees and this role will have ownership of building and rolling out the IT Strategy for the business whilst developing a best-in-class Architecture function.

You will lead Technology innovation for the group and inspire a Group mindset working closely with the Group CIO in the creation of the IT strategy and strategic change plans. You will take the lead on the development of all Enterprise Architecture activities and be the key decision maker in this regard. This is a true Technology leadership role seeing you build the strategy and execute delivery through your Architecture function.

You will be able to demonstrate experience and success in a senior technology leadership role and have significant experience as an enterprise architect working in a large and complex business. Due to the relatively Greenfield nature of this position, you will be able to reference experience of successfully applying industry frameworks such as TOGAF to real business situations and the development of architecture working practices. The remit is broad so it is likely you will come with experience of establishing architecture standards across a variety of areas including applications, platforms, security, data and infrastructure. Team leadership experience is a prerequisite for this role. You will be building and leading an Architecture function so you must have team leadership experience to be considered for this opportunity.

A fantastic opportunity to build something new in an environment that has the financial backing and desire to really make a step change when it comes to Technology.
