The Enterprise Architect will provide enterprise architecture capability within the CTO

Insurance, Pensions & Investments (IP&I) organisation. Working within agreed architectural

direction, the role supports the development, documentation, and assurance of end-to-end

architectures across multiple IP&I domains. This includes shaping solution designs,

supporting feasibility assessments and roadmaps, producing architectural artefacts,

identifying cross-domain dependencies and risks, and contributing to architecture

governance.

The role works closely with delivery, platform, and engineering teams to maintain

architectural coherence while enabling pragmatic delivery.

The role requires strong technical architecture skills across applications, integration, data,

infrastructure, and cloud platforms. This includes hands-on capability in defining hybrid

cloud and hosting architectures, API-led and event-driven integration patterns, and non-

functional design covering security, resilience, availability, and regulatory requirements. The

Enterprise Architect is expected to produce and assess solution designs, architecture decision

records, and target-state models, applying sound engineering judgement and trade-off

analysis. Success in the role depends on the ability to engage deeply with engineering teams,

understand modern delivery practices, and working within technology guardrails from across

the broader organisation.
