In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.
An Enterprise Architect opportunity has arisen with a growing UK life insurance business looking for an experienced external reviewer to validate architectural findings and shape the path forward. The organisation has undergone rapid expansion on a cloud-based platform and is now ready to address accumulated technical debt with clear, pragmatic thinking. Could this be the fixed-term contract engagement where your architectural expertise genuinely influences the future direction of a forward-thinking insurer?
The Role
The Enterprise Architect will join an established internal review process at Phase 2, meaning you will not be starting from scratch — a business-needs inventory and estate-impact map are already in place for you to build upon. Your core focus will be to independently validate the constraints identified internally, distinguish genuine architectural issues from governance or configuration problems, and produce a clear diagnosis of the current state.
From there, you will develop a recommended target architecture, a sequenced roadmap with near-term and longer-horizon priorities, and a Board-level summary covering risks, deferrable items, and expected benefits. The Enterprise Architect will work closely with the CTO, Head of Architecture, Head of Software Engineering, and Programme Manager, as well as engaging comfortably at CxO level. This is a six-month fixed-term contract on a hybrid basis, with two days per week based in Reading.
The Company
This is a UK-based life insurance business that entered the market as a challenger and has grown significantly on a fully digital, cloud-hosted platform. The company operates primarily through adviser channels and serves policyholders across a digital onboarding journey. Having scaled quickly, the organisation is now at a strategic inflection point and is investing in architectural clarity to support the next phase of its ambitions. It is a focused, commercially minded environment where pragmatic delivery is valued over large theoretical programmes. xgikmsk
