Enterprise Architect

About the Role

ELDR Technology advises institutions on the architecture, governance, and deployment of their enterprise technology environments — with a particular focus on cloud platforms, AI systems, and the governance infrastructure that sits around them. The Enterprise Architect leads these engagements at the highest level of technical authority, developing target-state architectures, conducting current-state assessments, and bridging the gap between technology strategy and regulatory requirement. This is a principal-level role for a seasoned architect with the rare combination of technical depth, governance literacy, and executive advisory capability.

Responsibilities

• Lead enterprise architecture engagements for regulated institutional clients — defining target-state architectures for cloud, data, application, and security domains
• Develop architecture documentation including capability models, reference architectures, solution design documents, and technology roadmaps
• Assess current-state architectures for alignment with regulatory requirements — NIST, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, OSFI B-10, or sector-specific frameworks
• Advise on cloud architecture governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP — including multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and cloud security posture management
• Collaborate with ELDR Advisory and Consulting to integrate architecture decisions into transformation programmes
• Brief C-suite and board-level stakeholders on architecture strategy, technology risk, and investment decisions
• Contribute to ELDR Technology's thought leadership and methodology development

Requirements

• 15+ years of progressive enterprise architecture experience across multiple domains — application, data, cloud, and security
• TOGAF certified (or equivalent architecture framework expertise)
• Deep working knowledge of cloud architecture governance on at least two of AWS, Azure, GCP
• Demonstrated ability to develop architecture documentation to enterprise and regulatory standards
• Prior experience advising regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, government, or regulated manufacturing
• Undergraduate degree in computer science, systems engineering, or a related field; graduate degree preferred

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or GCP Professional Cloud Architect
• Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture frameworks (NIST SP 800-207, CISA ZTA) and their implementation in enterprise environments
• Experience with AI/ML platform architecture and MLOps governance in regulated environments
• Prior Big 4 technology advisory or major financial institution architecture leadership experience

What We Offer

• Principal-level advisory engagements with major institutional clients
• Architecture leadership across ELDR's most technically complex mandates
• Opportunity to shape ELDR Technology's methodology and practice development
• Competitive principal-level compensation with performance-linked components
