We're working with a leading technology consultancy delivering a high-impact transformation programme within central government. This is an opportunity to shape the strategic technology roadmap of a critical public sector organisation by embedding best-practice architecture and capability-led design.

About the Role

As part of a multi-disciplinary team, you will play a key role in translating business needs into robust enterprise and solution architectures. You will work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to define current and future states, identify opportunities for reuse and modularity, and enable agile delivery of strategic outcomes.

• Engage with senior stakeholders to influence direction and drive value
• Contribute to pre-sales and business development activities as needed

What We're Looking For:

• Proven experience as an Enterprise Architect, ideally on public sector or regulated industry programmes
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, MODAF, NAF, or equivalent)
• Ability to model architectures across business, application, data, and technology domains
• Comfortable producing capability maps, roadmaps, and system views using tools like Sparx EA or ArchiMate
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills across technical and leadership levels
• TOGAF certification (or similar) is preferred

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with modular or service-oriented architecture design
• Familiarity with defence or central government ecosystems
• Understanding of data security, interoperability, or command & control systems
