Job summary

CSC is undergoing a major transformation in Global Financial Solutions and seeks a Business Architect to ensure a coherent target operating model across six workstreams. The role operates at an enterprise level, balancing design coherence with delivery progress, and collaborates with senior stakeholders to resolve cross-workstream conflicts.

The architect will translate strategy into architectural standards, drive sequencing of data, platform and automation, and maintain a single design baseline

Qualifications

• A demonstrable record of designing enterprise or target-operating-model architectures spanning process, data, technology and organisation.
• Experience within financial services, fund administration, SPV or corporate services, capital markets, or a comparable regulated, multi-entity environment.
• Expertise in enterprise and target-operating-model architecture, and in integration and solution design.
• Knowledge of data and platform architecture sufficient to manage the sequencing dependencies between data, platform and automation.
• Experience in process architecture and design-authority governance.
• The ability to operate at an enterprise-wide level and to identify interdependencies and points of conflict across multiple designs.
• Sound judgement and the standing to establish and maintain design decisions in collaboration with senior workstream Owners.
• The discipline to balance enterprise consistency with continued delivery progress.
• Executive presence, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and align them across businesses and jurisdictions.
• The ability to simplify complexity and translate strategy into a coherent, implementable design.
• A commitment to acting as a role model for CSC’s purpose and values, and sound judgement in making decisions aligned with them

Responsibilities

• Own the target operating model (TOM) architecture and ensure the six workstream designs integrate end to end.
• Chair the design-authority and integration reviews and hold design decision rights across the programme.
• Identify and resolve cross-workstream design conflicts, escalating only those matters that cannot be resolved within the design forum.
• Maintain the sequencing constraints across the programme; for example, the data model preceding the platform build, and process design preceding automation.
• Maintain the single design baseline and assess all change requests for architectural impact.
• Maintain clear accountability boundaries: the Business Architect owns design coherence; Programme Oversight owns planning and dependency tracking; workstream Owners own their respective designs.
• Translate the GFS strategy, values and design principles into the architectural standards to which the workstreams design.
