Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the enterprise architecture vision, principles, standards, target states, and transition roadmaps aligned with business strategy.
• Maintain decision-useful views of business capabilities, applications, technologies, information domains, integrations, and critical service dependencies.
• Assess the current technology landscape and drive simplification, modernization, reuse, and retirement, making duplication, lifecycle risk, and architectural debt visible.
• Translate strategic priorities into a rolling enterprise technology roadmap and provide evidence-based recommendations on build, buy, partner, reuse, and retire decisions.
• Engage from ideation and discovery to identify cross-initiative dependencies, constraints, and transition impacts before material delivery commitments are made.
• Provide proportionate architecture assurance for material initiatives and facilitate architecture reviews, decisions, and time-bound exceptions through to closure.
• Set enterprise guardrails and reusable patterns across modular software, data, APIs, events, integration, identity, cloud, infrastructure, security, resilience, and observability.
• Partner with the wider technology team to support their ways of working, recognizing current practical engineering standards and paved-road delivery patterns.
• Maintain the technology landscape covering the core wealth management platform and enterprise systems to ensure clear boundaries with client channels, data, integration, automation, Group, and third-party platforms.
• Partner with data, security, risk, service, and business owners so architecture decisions address information governance, privacy, regulatory obligations, operational viability, and business continuity.
• Provide enterprise architecture assessments to support portfolio prioritization and investment planning, evaluating strategic alignment, reuse opportunities, total cost of ownership, lifecycle position, and architecture-related concentration, exit, and operational risks.
• Build effective relationships with Australian, APAC, and LGT Group stakeholders to maximize reuse while ensuring local regulatory, market, and operational requirements are explicit.
• Use incidents, problems, audit findings, vendor direction, and delivery lessons to improve target architectures, standards, and investment priorities.
• Act as a trusted advisor to business and technology stakeholders, translating business strategy into clear architectural implications and enabling well-informed decisions by articulating options, trade-offs, risks, and recommendations.

Requirements

• Substantial enterprise architecture experience, including shaping technology strategy, target states, and transition roadmaps in a complex, regulated, or financial-services environment.

• Experience with a core banking or wealth management platform, including capability boundaries, application and integration architecture, data, release lifecycle, and operational support.
• Prior hands-on software engineering experience, with proficiency in at least one modern general-purpose programming language and the technical depth to review designs, challenge implementation choices, and engage credibly with engineers.
• Experience establishing pragmatic architecture governance, design assurance, decision records, and exception processes without creating heavyweight delivery gates.
• Demonstrated ability to align technology decisions with business strategy, client outcomes, regulatory obligations, and operational priorities.
• Experience developing architecture artifacts such as capability maps, application and technology portfolios, reference architectures, and lifecycle plans.
• Commercial judgment across build-versus-buy decisions, vendors, licensing, total cost of ownership, concentration risk, and exit strategies.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to make sound, evidence-based recommendations in ambiguity.
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain complex choices and influence executives, risk stakeholders, and delivery teams.
