Senior Manager - Enterprise Architect - Banking & Capital Markets, Financial Services

Description: 

Your key responsibilities

As an Enterprise Architect at EY, client engagements will typically fall into two categories.

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. This will usually be in the context of a technology modernisation journey, and in particular as part of the journey to cloud.

The second is where you would use your broad EA (and Solution Architecture) skills as part of the delivery of scalable, resilient, end to end client solutions – ensuring that designs are fully considered, robust and in line with the required architectural standards set by and with our clients.

As well as client delivery, you would be involved in the sale of new engagements – majoring on content and bringing enormous credibility to the overall proposition. You would also play a key role in our practice, developing our junior people, and playing an active role in the various communities of interest that exist across our major technology and business domains.

Skills and attributes for success

We’re looking for people who can demonstrate strong experience of Enterprise Architecture within the Financial Services sector. You should have experience of supporting project delivery, with an ability to develop and deliver high quality output against project objectives whilst meeting tight deadlines.

Aligned with these technical skills you’ll also have the natural curiosity and ability to understand and navigate complex processes and ambiguous client requirements, combined with a desire to initiate and effect continual improvement.

To qualify for the role you must have:

• Extensive experience of Enterprise Architecture, either as a consultant or working in the EA function of a leading organisation
• Performed at least in two of the following roles for a number of years: Application Architect, Cloud Toolchain & Deployment; DevSecOps / SDLC toolchain; Engineering Experiences; Governance; Pattern Enablement; Practices, Telemetry & Automated CI/CD; Quality Architecture (including testing tools).

• Proven experience of developing new solutions with clients to respond to the evolving technology landscape.
• Extensive experience of creating Technical Solution Architecture
• Ability to layer business domain and use case knowledge into the design and assessment of solution architecture options.
• 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.

Ideally, you’ll also have:

• Extensive experience of financial services – banking, investment banking, and payments domains will be of particular interest.
