Summary
As the Lead Enterprise Architect, you will be responsible for supporting development of the strategy and the architecture service for the IDS. You will lead the architecture engagement for integration across Defence, taking a strategic, pan-Defence view across all relevant architectural domains, security classifications, industry, suppliers, partners and international communities, which will require excellent technical and communication skills. You will also be responsible for helping to foster a culture that is inclusive, trusting, collaborative, innovative and diverse, so that all in the IDS can fully contribute to its success.
Taking on this challenging, exciting and influential role, you will be part of a team at the forefront of delivering major transformation through integration in Defence. Bringing your technical and detail-orientated expertise, you will help build and develop the architecture service to deliver quality outputs as agreed with the Leadership Team.
You will undertake stakeholder engagement to understand the context of a problem, and have the ability to proactively influence, cohere and shape client and capability demands. You will need to be able to listen to and interpret the needs of technical and non-technical stakeholders, as well as being able to translate and communicate often-complex information to varied audiences.
The Lead Enterprise Architect will deliver an agreed schedule of prioritised work, including ensuring that architecture artefacts are incorporated into relevant architecture repositories. You will also contribute to developing a network across Defence to support the architecture service, to promote best practices, increase standardisation and share lessons.
The initial responsibilities of the role include:
Define and implement the approach to apply architectural methods, translating Defence level strategy into design, harnessing more effective ways to design and deliver the integrated force.
Lead subject matter experts on technical aspects of architectural design and modelling, and the benefits of implementation for integration.
Cohere the architectural community to ensure high quality work is delivered that meets the needs of IDS service users. including sharing of best practice.
Enable architectural innovation, based on a clear understanding of current and emerging methodologies to develop architecture blueprints.
Strategic Command is going through a significant transformation programme which aims to improve the way the Command conducts its business and delivers for Defence and the nation. As a consequence of this, all posts within Strategic Command Headquarters and in time the wider organisation, are/will be subject to review and potential changes as we continuously improve across the period of the transformation programme. These changes may be minor or could be more substantive and will generate new opportunities. Throughout, the Command’s transformation programme is committed to following the MOD’s framework on managing and supporting people through the change process and places an emphasis on early and open consultation and engagement with the Command’s personnel and Trade Unions.
