The successful candidate will work closely with program leadership, enterprise architecture teams, cyber security specialists, IT operations, business stakeholders, vendors and implementation partners to deliver a cohesive and sustainable digital enterprise architecture.

About the Role

As the Enterprise Architect, you will provide end-to-end architecture leadership across the ERP program lifecycle, ensuring that solutions align with enterprise architecture principles, technology roadmaps, cyber security requirements and future-state business objectives.

- Collaborate with cyber security and identity teams to ensure appropriate controls for access management, privileged access, segregation of duties, monitoring and incident response.
- Support data architecture activities including data governance, migration, ownership, quality, reporting, retention and metadata management.

Vendor & Platform Assurance

- Review and assess architecture outputs from implementation partners and vendors.
- Provide assurance across solution architecture, integration designs, environment strategies, migration approaches and operational readiness.
- Identify architectural gaps, risks, dependencies and governance decisions requiring department endorsement.
