About the Role
Mattioli Woods is seeking an experienced Enterprise Architect to define the technical direction of a growing, acquisition-led wealth management group. This is a senior appointment with real strategic weight, owning the target architecture, shaping multi-million-pound platform decisions, and bringing coherence to a technology landscape built across more than seven acquisitions. This role requires architectural vision combined with the credibility to work alongside engineers, technology teams, and strategic vendors to see decisions through to delivery.
Responsibilities
- Define the single target enterprise architecture for the Group and a practical roadmap to rationalize a technology landscape created through 7+ acquisitions
- Shape major strategic technology decisions, including the future client portal, SIPP SaaS platform and the long-term future of core platforms such as Xplan
- Establish architectural patterns and integration standards that allow AI — including emerging agentic capabilities — to work safely with core systems, data and business workflows
- Define and embed pragmatic architecture principles, governance and technology standards adopted consistently across the Group
- Work hands-on with engineering teams, technology partners and strategic vendors to guide implementation and ensure delivery follows architectural intent
- Communicate complex technology choices clearly to the CIO, ExCo and senior business leaders, including supporting technology due diligence for future acquisitions
Requirements
- Proven experience leading meaningful architecture and simplification in a complex organisation, ideally one shaped by acquisitions
- Ability to combine long-term strategic direction with delivery credibility
- Strong capability across business, application, integration, data, infrastructure and AI architecture
- Experience in regulated financial services or another complex regulated environment
- Sufficient understanding of modern AI architecture — including APIs, agents, data access, security and vendor landscape — to make sound enterprise architecture decisions
- A pragmatic, decisive approach: someone who simplifies rather than elaborates, makes clear recommendations and drives them through to completion

About the Company
- Mattioli Woods presents a genuinely unusual architecture challenge: a business with real scale, continued acquisition activity and a clear mandate from the CIO and ExCo to rationalize and modernise.
- You will not be maintaining someone else's blueprint — you will be defining one from the ground up, with the authority and sponsorship to make it stick.
- The scope of the role is broad by design. From AI integration standards to platform strategy to acquisition architecture, you will be involved in the decisions that shape the Group's future operating model.
- As the business grows, so does the opportunity to build an architecture capability around you and develop the practice beyond your own individual contribution.
