Join us and shape how one of the UK's largest digital organisations connects, scales and secures the technology that underpins services for millions of citizens As a Lead Enterprise Architect, you'll join DWP Digital's Enterprise Architecture community - a team that designs the strategic technology direction for our entire organisation. You'll lead the development of DWP's reference architectures and digital blueprints, ensuring our systems evolve in a secure, modern and sustainable way. Your work will influence multi-billion-pound services, helping us manage technical risk, reduce complexity and drive transformation across a vast and critical technology estate.

You'll be the recognised expert in integration architecture across DWP, shaping strategic decisions, guiding senior leaders and enabling the adoption of modern technologies. You'll balance big-picture vision with deep technical insight, helping teams across DWP and government deliver better, more resilient services. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? You understand modern and legacy integration patterns, and know how technologies like APIs, events, messaging, file transfer and cloud-based integration all fit together across a large, complex organisation. You have experience leading enterprise-scale architecture for major, business-critical systems - not just designing individual solutions, but shaping whole ecosystems and guiding major technology decisions. You're confident presenting complex topics to a wide range of audiences - senior leaders, technical teams, cross-government partners and external stakeholders. You have experience running architecture governance that helps organisations make consistent, informed decisions. You know how to create reference architectures, principles and standards, and can explain them clearly to technical peers.

You'll lead horizon scanning, keep us aware of industry, government and digital trends, and translate emerging thinking into actionable recommendations for DWP. This position will also play a central role in influencing how we integrate platforms and services across the enterprise. This isn't command-and-control: success comes from chairmanship, collaboration and the ability to bring people together behind a shared architectural vision. You'll work across teams, portfolios and programmes to unblock challenges, shape roadmaps, spark pathfinder projects as well as help technical teams adopt modern integration approaches. As the expert in this domain, you'll often represent DWP across government, contributing to cross-department initiatives and briefing senior leaders (including ministers) on specialist topics. You'll mentor other architects, support Product Delivery Unit teams, and help ensure the architectural 'jigsaw' across DWP fits together coherently.
