Job description

We’re looking for a senior Enterprise Architect to play a pivotal role in shaping how technology supports the business. You will operate at an enterprise level, owning architecture governance, portfolio visibility, and maturity uplift across SAP and non‑SAP platforms. Leading a team of solution architects, guiding standards and decisions, and providing assurance to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Operate within and influence formal governance forums (Architecture Boards, Design Authorities, CABs, Working Groups)
• Ensure programs and projects align to enterprise standards, policies, and reference architectures
• Provide architectural assurance to senior stakeholders including IT leadership, cyber, risk, and portfolio committees

Portfolio & Demand Visibility

• Maintain visibility of initiatives and demand across global portfolios
• Help rationalise overlap across multiple PMOs and regional delivery models

Landscape & Capability Maturity

• Own and mature:
• Business capability models
• Reference architectures
• Reduce application sprawl and complexity over time
• Lift maturity where knowledge currently sits informally across teams

SAP in the Enterprise Context

• SAP is a critical part of the landscape but not the whole picture
• Ensure SAP (including S/4HANA) is positioned appropriately within the broader enterprise architecture
• Use tools such as Signavio and modelling platforms to connect SAP and non‑SAP processes end‑to‑end

What We’re Looking For

• Senior experience in Enterprise or Platform Architecture
• Exposure to SAP environments at enterprise scale
• Ability to engage credibly with architects, vendors, and delivery partners
• Understanding of:
• SAP S/4HANA transformation programs
• Manufacturing or asset‑heavy environments (supply chain, procurement, operations)

Nice to Have

• Experience in global organisations grown through acquisition
• Background in governance‑heavy or federated delivery models
• Cloud migration oversight (on‑prem to cloud)

How You’ll Work

• Partner closely with senior IT leadership, cyber and risk teams, and portfolio governance
• Influence without direct authority in complex environments
• Work with global delivery partners and regional teams
• Operate calmly and effectively in ambiguity and complexity
