Job description

Enterprise Architect

• 6 month rolling contract (huge programme / scope)
• €800 - €900 / day
• Central Dublin / Hybrid working

We are looking for an experienced Enterprise Architect ideally with a HRIS technology background to support a client for an initial 6-month engagement.

This is a strategic Enterprise Architecture role. The focus will be on setting direction across the P&C technology landscape, establishing clear architectural roadmaps / governance and ensuring programmes engage appropriately with Architecture.

Desired Skills / Experience

• Bring strong Enterprise Architecture experience from a large, international organisation
• Demonstrate good knowledge of HR/P&C systems and technology landscapes
• Bring exposure to Workday at an enterprise/strategic level, ideally including major global programmes. They do not need to be a Workday technical specialist.
• Develop and own enterprise roadmaps, architectural governance and strategic alignment across P&C programmes.
• Work confidently with a large and varied stakeholder community, including senior business stakeholders and programme leaders, and challenge project asks where necessary.
• Help establish a clear pictured Architecture, positioning new requests against the wider strategic roadmap rather than treating them as isolated projects
• Drive stronger engagement between P&C stakeholders and the Architecture function, demonstrating the strategic and commercial value Architecture can bring
• Operate at enterprise level rather than dropping into detailed solution design. Domain and Solution Architects will support individual project requirements.
• Ideally bring experience of large-scale organisational separation, divestment or integration, which would be particularly relevant given the client's current environment

We are looking for someone who can walk into a complex P&C environment, bring structure and strategic direction, influence senior stakeholders and strengthen how Architecture engages with the business. They should be comfortable challenging programme direction where necessary and bringing stakeholders together around a common architectural roadmap.
