Help shape the future of Technology at one of the UK’s leading charities

I am delighted to confirm I have been retained by one of the UK’s most recognised charities as they embark on a significant Digital, Data and Technology transformation.

Following the appointment of a new technology leadership team, the organisation is investing heavily in modernising its technology estate, introducing product-led ways of working and building the foundations for long-term digital success. As part of this journey, they are creating a brand-new Enterprise Architect position to help define the future direction of technology across the organisation.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the beginning of a transformation rather than inheriting the finished product.

You’ll be stepping into an environment where things are evolving quickly. New structures are being introduced, governance is being strengthened and technology strategy is being reshaped. The successful candidate will play a key role in bringing clarity, direction and consistency to a complex technology landscape whilst helping delivery teams move with confidence.

The Opportunity

As Enterprise Architect, you’ll be responsible for establishing the architectural principles, standards and target-state roadmaps that will underpin the organisation’s future technology strategy.

Rather than acting as a central approval function, you’ll work closely with technical teams and senior stakeholders to create practical guardrails that enable innovation whilst balancing security, resilience, operational effectiveness and cost.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys:

• Operating in transformation and change environments.

• Creating order within complex or fragmented technology estates.

• Influencing stakeholders at all levels without relying on hierarchy.

• Building architectural capability and governance from the ground up.

• Shaping long-term strategy whilst remaining close enough to delivery to make an impact.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in Enterprise Architecture or a comparable senior architecture capacity.

• A track record of simplifying technology estates and reducing technical debt.

• Strong knowledge across cloud, SaaS, integration, platforms and infrastructure.

• Experience working within modern Microsoft and Azure environments.

• An understanding of API-led and event-driven architecture principles.

• The ability to influence delivery teams and business stakeholders through collaboration rather than control.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who can help an organisation navigate change, bring people together around a shared direction and create architecture that genuinely enables better outcomes.

Why Join?

This is more than an architecture role.

It’s an opportunity to help shape an organisation at a pivotal stage in its journey. The technology decisions made today will influence how services are delivered for years to come, giving you the chance to leave a lasting legacy whilst working for an organisation that has a meaningful impact on people’s lives every day.

If you’re an Enterprise Architect who wants to build, influence and be part of a genuine transformation journey, we’d love to hear from you.
