About the role

NFU Mutual is undergoing an exciting period of transformative change, with various innovative change programmes such as core systems updates and multichannel reviews. This is a great opportunity to join us.

You will be an experienced Lead Business Architect working across internal functions, engaging with senior stakeholders, and collaborating closely with the Chief Executive Officer to understand and deliver enterprise strategy.

A Business Architecture or Enterprise Architecture qualification such as TOGAF is desirable.

Experience required includes:

• Delivering Business Architecture in complex environments
• Leading business transformation and change cycles
