• →Take fuzzy, organically-grown processes and cut clean lines of responsibility, ownership, and information flow across domains.
• →Define systems of record, API contracts and interfaces, data structures, pipelines, and environments, with enough rigour that engineering teams can build against them.
• →Work directly with business domain owners, many of them non-technical, to understand their problems and bring them solutions they're comfortable with. This is a large part of the job.
• →Present progress, decisions, and trade-offs to DV senior management, and manage the programme upward.
• →Drive solutions to done, not just design them. Prototype, validate, and stay close enough to the code to pressure-test what's being built.
• →Apply AI/LLM capabilities pragmatically to internal tooling, automation, and knowledge access, with attention to evaluation, security, reliability, and cost.

• 10+ years in enterprise architecture, principal architecture, or business systems transformation with cross-functional enterprise scope.
• A track record of turning vision into shipped change, not documentation that sits on a shelf.
• Strong systems-level thinking across business processes, data, application architecture, and integrations.
• Genuine technical depth: comfortable reading and writing code, defining API contracts, and working hands-on with data structures, pipelines, and environments.
• Experience spanning both large third-party enterprise platforms and proprietary internal systems, with sound judgment on where process logic, data ownership, and controls should live.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills — you can influence without authority, sit with a non-technical stakeholder and leave them feeling helped, and handle disagreement constructively.

Not-so-fun fact: Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of job criteria, women and other marginalized groups tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes but you’re not sure that you check every box, apply anyway!
