Direct message the job poster from James Chase

We’re looking for an Enterprise Architect who can shape the future of a complex internal systems landscape covering Finance, ERP, People, Publishing, Supply Chain and wider back‑office platforms.

If you enjoy working across strategy and delivery, influencing senior stakeholders, and guiding major transformation programmes, this is a role with genuine architectural ownership and long‑term impact.

The Opportunity

As Enterprise Architect, you’ll define target architectures, create roadmaps, set standards and provide design leadership across a diverse estate of internal shared systems. You’ll partner with technology leaders and delivery teams to ensure major programmes move in the right direction, including a multi‑year ERP transformation and S/4HANA migration.

This is a role for someone who can think at enterprise scale but also stay close enough to the action to support delivery in a pragmatic, hands‑on way.

What You’ll Lead

• Target architecture and design for internal systems across Finance, HR, Operations and Supply Chain
• Architectural oversight of major programmes, including ERP / SAP‑related change
• Roadmaps, design artefacts and standards that guide enterprise‑wide technology evolution
• Cross‑team collaboration, ensuring solutions integrate effectively across platforms
• Stakeholder engagement at senior levels, helping the organisation make confident technology decisions
• Risk identification, technology selection and architectural governance

What You’ll Bring

• Strong enterprise and solution architecture background
• Experience with ERP ecosystems (SAP or equivalent; S/4HANA exposure beneficial)
• Ability to bridge strategic thinking with practical delivery
• Excellent communication skills and credibility with senior stakeholders
• Experience designing and documenting architectures, roadmaps and solution designs
• Understanding of finance, HR or supply‑chain processes
• A collaborative approach, low ego and strong cultural fit

Why This Role?

You’ll be driving architectural direction for systems that touch every part of the organisation. The work is impactful, high‑visibility and central to how internal capabilities evolve over the next several years. You’ll join a friendly, grounded architecture team that values openness, collaboration and pragmatism.

Hybrid working with regular time in Cambridge, especially in early months to build relationships. If you want a role with influence, variety and serious transformation responsibility, we’d love to hear from you.
