Head of Architecture Standards & Policy Automation
London
FS provider executing a multi-year technology modernisation. We need a senior architecture leader to industrialise governance through code, standardise multi-cloud platforms, and cut time-to-market across diverse product lines.
Key Responsibilities
Codify enterprise architecture frameworks into reusable blueprints and embed policy-as-code (e.g., OPA, native cloud policies) directly in CI/CD pipelines, eliminating the bulk of manual reviews.
Design and maintain secure, scalable landing zones for Azure, AWS and GCP using Infrastructure-as-Code and Compliance-as-Code methods.
Lead a 2540-person architect guild, chair the Design Authority, and own KPIs for reuse, technical-debt reduction and FinOps savings.
Drive legacy-exit programmes and migrate core workloads to microservices, event-driven and data-mesh patterns.
Translate architecture strategy into board-level outcomes while partnering with investment, retail and corporate-technology leaders.
About You
15+ years in technology leadership, including 5+ years running enterprise-architecture functions in highly regulated environments (financial-services preferred).
Demonstrable delivery of policy-as-code or compliance-as-code in production pipelines.
Deep expertise in multi-cloud landing-zone design, Terraform/Bicep automation and guard-rail enforcement.
Proven success leading large-scale cloud migrations and platform rationalisation programmes.
Confident communicator able to influence C-suite and engineer alike.
Certifications such as TOGAF, ArchiMate, AWS or Azure Solutions Architect are advantageous.
What Success Looks Like
More than 80 percent of architecture controls fully automated.
At least 80 percent reuse of reference blueprints across business units.
Quantifiable year-on-year reduction in technical-debt index and cloud spend.
