* Drive the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive technology strategy and roadmap that integrates applications, platforms, infrastructure, and integration layers, aligned with wider digital and business strategies.
* Manage architecture documentation and repositories, ensuring artifacts are current, well-governed, accessible, and recognised as the single source of truth for architecture-related assets.
* Lead architectural governance through forums such as design and architecture review boards, ensuring solution designs adhere to agreed standards and align with the target state.
* Provide architectural guidance to internal digital teams and external partners to ensure solution design is consistent, scalable, and efficient.
* Collaborate with business and digital leaders to communicate technical strategies in clear, business-friendly terms and keep stakeholders informed on relevant developments.
* Work in partnership with risk, audit, and cybersecurity teams to ensure compliance with architecture standards, especially relating to data protection, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements.

* Working knowledge of Enterprise Architecture frameworks such as TOGAF.
* Broad technical understanding of cloud platforms (particularly Microsoft Azure), APIs, microservices, integration, and containerisation.
* Foundational understanding of cybersecurity, risk, and compliance (e.g. GDPR).
* Familiarity with standards such as ITIL, DevOps, and Agile/Scrum.
* Experience with architecture tools and techniques (e.g. Bizzdesign, Archimate, LeanIX).
* Strong leadership experience managing hybrid teams (internal and external).
* Ability to convey complex technical ideas to a broad audience.
* Strategic thinker with the ability to connect architectural direction to business goals.
