The client is looking for an enterprise architecture advisor to take charge of architecture for the Corporate Affairs portfolio. The role starts from strategic planning to define architecture targets, then translates them into a multi-year breakdown and sequencing. The person does not produce all the work alone: they engage business, application, data, technology and security architects, then align their contributions. They advise the value creation leader on prioritization, which explains the requirement for executive-level presentations. The level is very senior: 15 years in architecture, including 10 on large-scale projects, and corporate merger experience.
Candidate sought: an enterprise architect who has owned a multi-year roadmap at portfolio or organization level, coordinating several architecture domains. Their resume shows a corporate merger, presentations to leadership bodies and hands-on use of TOGAF, BIZBOK and BABOK.
Key Requirements:
- Corporate merger experience
- Experience designing architecture models
- Experience participating in and presenting to executive
forums
- Knowledge of the TOGAF, BIZBOK and BABOK bodies of knowledge
- Knowledge of the financial affairs, legal affairs and
Talent, Culture and Communications domains
Requirements

architecture model production.
