Job Vacancy Enterprise Architect

In this role, you will shape technology direction for our clients by assessing their current landscape, defining future-state architectures, and creating pragmatic, achievable plans that deliver measurable business value. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, helping them understand how technology can drive outcomes and guiding them through the change journey.



You will take the lead in designing integrated solutions, influencing major decisions, and supporting delivery teams to ensure architectures evolve in line with strategic objectives. You will be encouraged to explore new ideas, take ownership of key engagements, and collaborate across CGI’s expert community to bring forward innovative, business-aligned solutions.



Key things we are looking for:



You have already developed a pragmatic outlook and know that Enterprise Architecture is as much understanding the business on their own terms as it is defining and managing a technology estate. You have been around long enough to have made mistakes - quite a lot of them! – but you have learned from them and can recognise when someone else is about to do the same and course-correct.



You have a track record of working with senior stakeholders and understand the importance of speaking to them in their own language, recognising individual viewpoints to address concerns.



You have a variety of approaches in your toolkit and use them effectively to understand business need, determine the required change and oversee its implementation to deliver business value. These include market knowledge, requirements gathering, capability mapping, vendor selection and achievable roadmaps.
