    Description

    Director - Technology / Digital Recruitment


    Role: Head of IT Architecture

    Location: Open, there will be a need for on-site presence

    As Head of Architecture, you'll play a leading role in modernising and re-establishing how Architecture delivers value to the organisation, with a shift to a business-value driven department that are eager to leverage modern Architecture practices with a key focus on Enterprise Applications, SaaS, Cloud, Data and Integration.

    This is an enterprise-organisation with a complex estate, multi-thousand end-user environment within a regulated sector. A brand you'll recognise by name. 2026 is a year of significant investment within Technology.

    This will suit a commercially focused, modern Architecture Leader, likely a Head of Architecture, Chief Architect or a Lead Architect that can demonstrate extreme potential. Suited to a natural Leader that is delivery focused rather than EA or Governance. Buy over build, so not after a deep technical person.

    Key areas of role

    • Responsible for modernising and re-positioning the organisations IT Architecture capability as a delivery-focused, value add delivery stream
    • Lead on significant multi-million £ delivery programmes, with emphasis on modern cloud-first, SaaS, Integration and Data modernisation
    • Managing c-suite stakeholder relationships, and articulating Architecture value to the business
    • Improving the capability and delivery mindset of a large team of Solution, Data and Integration Architects
    • Ability to challenge the status-quo, horizon scan, and keeping up to date with industry technology and trends, adopting forward thinking approaches

    Experience required

    • Demonstrable Architecture leadership experience, leading teams of SA's, Data and Integration Architects on significant technology modernisation programmes
    • Track record of delivery – this isn't a governance / compliance focused role, we're interested in someone that drives execution with strong programme delivery and change exposure
    • Credible, reliable and excellent in front of CxO
    • Operated within a reputable brand, household name, within a regulated environment
    • Experience of non-traditional Architecture implementation – this could be Agile based, Product Architecture or Domain Architecture

    There will be an expectation of some on-site.
