Summary: The Enterprise Architect role in London involves leading a critical transformation programme focused on transitioning from an existing Enterprise Architecture Platform to a new one by year-end.

• Evaluate, select, and onboard the target platform in alignment with enterprise architecture goals and stakeholder requirements.
• Work closely with architecture, technology, and business teams to understand current usage of iServer, catalogue dependencies, and define migration strategies.
• Ensure new tooling integrates effectively into the broader architecture landscape, including alignment with frameworks, standards, and governance processes.
• Provide hands-on support to technical and non-technical users during the transition.
• Produce clear documentation, training materials, and transition plans to support change management efforts.

Key Skills:

• Proven track record in Enterprise Architecture roles with a strong delivery focus.
• Demonstrable experience of decommissioning or migrating from iServer or similar EA tooling.
• Deep understanding of EA frameworks (e.g. TOGAF) with a pragmatic, outcome-driven approach.
