Key responsibilities
Business architecture and capability modelling
- Validate the draft capability map with business and technology stakeholders, using BIAN as an external reference.
- Remove duplicates and inconsistencies, and decompose priority domains to L2 sub-capabilities.
- Map the application portfolio to capabilities and produce capability heat maps showing coverage, redundancy and risk.
- Keep the capability model current as new initiatives come through review.
Architecture Review Board and governance
- Review incoming initiatives and vendor solutions against architecture standards, reference architectures and the capability model.
- Refine and roll out the Architectural Significance Assessment and Architecture Review Assessment, including fast-track routing for low-risk requests.
- Design and introduce the Architecture Decision Record (ADR) and decision log.
- Assess vendor responses on hosting, tenancy, data residency, integration and security, and raise risks before contract signature.
- Present recommendations at ARB and support formal voting and decision tracking.
ServiceNow EA implementation
- Lead the design of EA data and workflows in ServiceNow: Enterprise Architecture Workspace (APM), business capabilities, business applications aligned to CSDM, and the ARB intake workflow.
- Work with the client's ServiceNow platform team on configuration,
data quality and reporting.
- Define capability and application scoring and the dashboards used by leadership.
Standards, reference architecture and AI enablement
- Build and maintain reference architectures and technology standards across application, data, integration, cloud and security domains.
- Shape the AI-assisted review approach with the EA lead: define the structured inputs, rules and outputs an agent needs to compare recent intake against the capability map and standards.
- Define EA metrics (review cycle time, risks caught pre-contract, redundancy avoided, capability coverage) and report them quarterly.
Practice and people
- Help define the hybrid operating model and RACI between central EA and domain architects.
- Coach domain architects and the junior EA, and contribute to the architecture community programme.

- Solid grasp of modern architecture: cloud (AWS, Azure, OCI), SaaS, integration and APIs, data platforms, identity and security.
- Familiarity with TOGAF and ArchiMate; BIAN experience strongly preferred.
- Understanding of US banking regulatory themes such as third-party risk, data residency, privacy, and model and operational risk.
- Excellent written and spoken English; confident with senior US stakeholders.
