Our client is recruiting for a head of architecture and development. This is an integral role in the business and this person will be a member of the senior management team.
Ideal candidates for this role will come from a construction, manufacturing or engineering background.
The Head of Architecture & Development will:
- Understand the organisation's ecosystem, interdependencies, and constraints.
- Shape a pragmatic and adaptable multi-year technology road map (covering applications, infrastructure, data, and technology) to shift to a position where technology is a source of strategic competitive advantage.
- Influence and align the IT&D team and broader organisation around the roadmap, ensuring that it balances short term priorities with longer term objectives, is commercially sound, technically feasible and reflects the business's operational risk appetite.
- Ensure that the roadmap is implemented by putting in place appropriate formal mechanisms such as governance, accountabilities and objectives complemented with less formal methods such as influencing and visioning.
- Lead the Development team to deliver effective systems design and configuration to achieve the roadmap.
- Establish a pragmatic and effective means of recording the architecture, to champion its use and to help mature the collective architectural thinking within the IT&D team.
- Record the As-Is architecture and develop the multi-year To-Be technology roadmap.
- Represent Architecture in major projects including advising on the appropriateness of systems, considerations regarding implementation, and overseeing implementation from an architectural perspective.
- Drive the change towards the To-Be roadmap, directly through the Development team and by contributing to the future project portfolio.
- Lead, motivate, retain, and mentor a team of three staff.
- Manage and supervise the activities of the team, bringing coherence and focus to their activities and ensuring they have the resources they need to make them effective.
- Ensure the team workload is prioritised, manageable, and monitored.
- Work with key stakeholders to create and implement business visions and goals. Evolve the business culture to become more architecture-led, forward-planned and evidence-based, including presenting to boards, committees, etc.
- Oversee the team's budget and ensure that activities are completed within expenditure targets.
