* Orchestrate blueprint development, accelerating mobilisation and increasing programme success through strong upfront design.
* Communicate with impact, tailoring your approach to technical and business audiences to build consensus and clarity.
* Guide and assure projects, acting as the authority on strategic design decisions and ensuring delivery against target state.
* Develop deep business insight, making best-practice recommendations across systems, processes, and technical domains.
* Foster collaboration, breaking down silos and driving cross-functional teamwork to achieve the best outcomes.
What we’re looking for
* A strategic thinker who can link vision to execution.
* Proven experience in digital transformation, enterprise architecture, and stakeholder engagement.
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence at senior levels and guide technical teams.
* A passion for technology-enabled change and embedding resilience, compliance, and innovation into design.
