The opportunity
Our Banking and Capital Markets Technology practice is growing. We are looking to hire a seasoned Enterprise Architect into our newly rebranded Platforms team. Our Platforms team helps clients to deliver technology enabled transformation, either through the delivery and customisation of third party platforms, or as part of teams designing and delivering bespoke solutions.
In the role of Senior Manager - Enterprise Architect within our team, you will spearhead pivotal initiatives for our clients that are crucial to their business success.

Your expertise will be instrumental in guiding them through infrastructure modernization, addressing regulatory changes, shaping their digital client strategy, elevating their client service experience, and optimizing their long-term business composition.
Your key responsibilities
As an Enterprise Architect at EY, client engagements will typically fall into two categories.
1. The first, where we are helping our clients Enterprise Architecture or CTO functions to mature - this could be through the delivery of principles and patterns, developing ways of working, establishing clear roles and responsibilities and governance frameworks.

Skills and attributes for success

* Ability to act as a conduit between business line and technology functions.
* A deep understanding of modern and emerging technology and ways of working, and the technical gravitas to go "toe to toe" with senior technology leaders at our clients. You will be completely comfortable across domains such as Cloud, FinOps and DevSecOps.
* Proven experience of delivering business and technology transformation; e.g. ability to provide clear guidance and documentation to enable development and engineering teams to quick and secure path to delivery and operation.
* Recognised qualification (e.g. TOGAF) and practical experience of applying architectural frameworks in practice.
