The Opportunity
Entasis Partners is supporting a well-known UK university as they reshape their digital landscape and move towards a more integrated, insight-driven operating model.
Following a significant restructure, our client is building an architecture capability from the ground up, and they’ve asked us to help them land it well. We’re now looking for a versatile and experienced Enterprise Architect to join Entasis Partners as an associate.
The Enterprise Architect will assess, shape, and steer strategy across core domains: application, integration, data, tooling, and process.
You’ll be working alongside a newly hired permanent Solution Architect, reporting into the Director, and embedding best practice into an environment moving from reactive siloes to proactive, joined-up delivery.
Key Focus Areas for the Enterprise Architect
* Establish architectural oversight across application, integration, data, and tooling estates
* Define high-level roadmaps and prioritise architecture effort to deliver meaningful business impact
* Support the university’s digital transformation objectives with a focus on user-centric service design
* Advise on architecture tooling (e.g., Bizdesign, LeanIX, Ardoq) and build early-stage maturity using pragmatic approaches (e.g., Visio-based modelling)
* Collaborate with internal BAs, developers, and delivery teams to land fit-for-purpose designs and integration strategies
* Help assess and define the future state for CRM and internal product platforms, focusing on longevity and adaptability
* Provide coaching and mentorship to support internal capability uplift (especially around the new Solution Architect role)
What We’re Looking For from the Enterprise Architect
* Strong track record in Enterprise Architecture across the application and integration space
* Previous experience within or alongside the Higher Education sector is a bonus
* Able to work across strategy and delivery, you're comfortable in ambiguity but structured in approach
* Familiar with enterprise tooling and architecture maturity modelling, but pragmatic enough to start small and scale
* Strong communicator and stakeholder engager – able to build trust and influence in complex, change-heavy environments
* Comfortable working in hybrid models, ideally able to attend key workshops or meetings onsite when needed
Why Entasis Partners?

We work with organisations going through real change and help them shape what’s next.
You’ll be part of a trusted network of expert architects and strategists, no fluff, just good people doing great work.
