Job Description

In support of Sage's vision, the IT function has moved to a single global operating model. Therefore, we have moved to a new IT management structure, aligned functionally, supported by regional and local representation. Our mission is to transform the way IT is delivered to customers and colleagues across the world with the emphasis on simplicity, mobility, and efficiency. The Architecture function is core to enabling our colleagues to focus more on our customers and increasing revenue by providing unified global IT platforms, multi-channel customer engagement and a consistent customer experience across the globe.

This role is responsible for the delivery of large, complex solution architectures and governance that help to enable and transform regional and global IT services. This responsibility includes but is not limited to; working closely with business analysts and business stakeholders to understand requirements, defining, and designing architectures, liaising with delivery teams on technical detail, overseeing builds and ensuring alignment with architecture, and participating in global governance boards. You will work alongside the broader architecture team to ensure the successful evolution from local to global architecture design and from traditional on premise and custom-built platforms to open and modular cloud-hosted services.

On a day-to-day basis you will work closely with the project and programme teams and be the voice of architecture. You will report on the progress of architecture deliverables to key stakeholders and ensure the application delivery leadership team is kept informed of progress through standard reporting methods and architecture forums.
