About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Head of Enterprise Architects to lead the development and implementation of our enterprise architecture strategy across the EMEA region.

• Training & Enablement: Develop and deliver training and enablement programs to empower the sales team with technical knowledge and effective sales strategies.
• Team Management: Lead and mentor a team of enterprise architects, fostering a collaborative environment, ensuring continuous development, and maintaining high levels of performance.
