Enterprise Architect

Salary: £84,000 – £120,000 per year

As an Enterprise Architect in the PA Architecture capability, you will work collaboratively with clients in an iterative and pragmatic manner, avoiding the traditional drawbacks of enterprise architecture through our “just enough enterprise architecture” approach and driving tangible impact to complex problems using “EA type” thinking. We have an extensive track record of addressing key architectural issues as part of major transformational change programmes and delivering lasting business value for a diverse range of the most exciting and progressive clients across a range of industry sectors.

Working as an Enterprise Architect at PA, you’ll be given the opportunity to:

* Work across complex and large-scale portfolios with leading edge clients and shape, define and design the delivery of architectural solutions that address the most complex business challenges

* Land innovative and nimble architecture governance, working with boards and C-level leaders to enable clients to deliver at pace whilst maintaining coherence

* Address latent and emerging architectural issues using “EA type” thinking, for example regaining control post-agile, cloud optimisation and next-gen cloud, landing disruptive technology in legacy environments and baking in sustainability

* Execute a broad range of enterprise architecture activities, from developing operational models and lightweight governance that resonate with client Board-level executives through to developing enterprise architecture capability and targeted use of architectural assets and transition architectures to address priority concerns

* Apply and creatively combine the right architecture assets and frameworks, for example the Scaled Agile Framework, TOGAF, MODAF/EASE, Archimate or Zachman and including PA’s own market leading business and architecture frameworks.

* The chance to create, review and align end-to-end architectures across business, application, data and infrastructure architecture domains.

Architecture at PA is different. You will work at CxO level with a broad range of leading blue-chip companies and public sector organisations. You will get to work on projects which are cutting edge, both in the technologies they employ and the real-world problems they are addressing; projects which are the highest profile and projects that make a difference to everyday life. It is practical and hands-on, we have our own technology arm that is dedicated to building innovative, real-world solutions for our clients. You will deliver, assure and advise, working shoulder to shoulder with our clients and their partners as the face of innovation and change they expect when they engage PA.
