Enterprise Architect | Global Private Markets Investor | London (Hybrid)

Marks Sattin is partnering with a leading global private markets investor to appoint an experienced Enterprise Architect on an initial 6-month contract. With over €200bn in assets under management and a presence across EMEA, the Americas and Asia, the organisation is investing heavily in its enterprise architecture capability to create greater transparency across business processes, systems, data, and value creation.

The Role

• Develop an enterprise-wide business architecture baseline, including capability maps and value streams across the organisation.
• Map business capabilities, processes, systems, and data assets to create a clear view of the firm's operating model.
• Identify technology gaps, process inefficiencies, manual dependencies, and areas for architectural improvement.
• Leverage AI-enabled tooling to accelerate architecture analysis, modelling, and discovery while maintaining appropriate governance and validation.
• Partner with business, technology, data, and operations leaders to establish architectural standards and drive alignment across domains.

Skills Needed

• Proven experience as an Enterprise Architect, Business Architect, or Lead Architecture Consultant within a complex organisation.
• Strong expertise in capability modelling, value stream mapping, business process architecture, and operating model design.
• Experience working with enterprise architecture repositories and modelling platforms such as LeanIX, Ardoq, Bizzdesign, MEGA, or similar.
• Solid understanding of data architecture principles, including conceptual data models, ownership frameworks, and master data concepts.
• Ability to translate complex business structures into clear, actionable architectural artefacts used for strategic decision-making.
• Experience working in regulated environments such as Financial Services, Asset Management, Private Equity, Insurance, or Banking.
• Practical experience using AI tools to support analysis, mapping, or enterprise architecture activities.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and navigate differing viewpoints.

This role offers the chance to shape the architectural foundations of a world-class investment business rather than simply supporting individual projects. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders, influence enterprise-wide decisions, and leave behind a framework that will guide technology, data, and business transformation for years to come.
