Description du poste

G MASS Consulting is supporting a growing UK specialist bank in the search for an Enterprise Business Architect. This is a new position, created to give the bank a single, joined-up view of how it should organise itself for the next stage of its growth. Reporting into senior leadership, the Enterprise Business Architect will take a bank-wide view of how the business is organised, identifying where shared capabilities can be introduced across the lending divisions and where divisional approaches should remain.

The role will own the bank's capability model and transformation roadmap, prioritising change by value, risk and dependency. Working closely with the executive team, Technology Architecture and Business Analysis, you will ensure strategic priorities translate into a clear, deliverable plan.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with senior leaders to turn strategic goals into a defined set of business capabilities and priorities.
• Create and own the bank's capability map, advising on what should be centralised and what should remain within the divisions.
• Hold the single transformation roadmap for the bank, ordering initiatives according to value, risk and interdependencies.
• Offer an impartial, bank-wide perspective that helps leadership decide which investments go ahead and when.
• Work hand in hand with the Technology Architecture function so the future technology landscape supports the future shape of the business.
• Set clear context and boundaries for Business Analysis teams, and check that live programmes stay on course with the roadmap.
• Build consensus among divisional heads around a shared operating model, leading through influence rather than instruction.

• Extensive experience as a business architect at enterprise level, with hands-on ownership of capability models and transformation roadmaps.
• A background in banking or financial services, ideally within a regulated lending environment.
• Proven ability to influence and advise executive and board-level stakeholders, with the credibility to hold a position under scrutiny.
• Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor, setting your own direction and delivering outcomes without a supporting team.
• Strong understanding of how business architecture connects with technology architecture and business analysis in delivering large-scale change.

Desirable

• Experience within a top-tier or boutique strategy consultancy.
• Exposure to specialist lending, such as commercial, asset, property or structured finance.
• A track record of helping a multi-divisional or siloed organisation transition to shared capabilities.
