The Enterprise & Solutions Architecture will own the firm’s enterprise architecture foundation and guide how technology supports the business as it scales. This person will define core architecture standards, shape integration and data-flow patterns, oversee the messaging strategy, and ensure systems evolve in a coherent, secure, and efficient way. The role blends enterprise architecture with hands-on solutioning. The Director will partner directly with engineering leads, vendor teams, and business stakeholders to design technical solutions for a wide range of needs, from vendor platform integrations to bespoke internal builds. This leader must be commercially minded and comfortable rolling up their sleeves in a dynamic environment while also providing strategic architectural leadership. Financial services experience is essential, along with strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across a fast-moving organization.

  • Establish and maintain enterprise architecture standards, reference models, and best practices.
  • Define the target-state architecture across applications, data, integrations, and infrastructure.
  • Guide system modernization efforts, including platform refactoring, cloud optimization, and architectural simplification.
  • Work directly with technology and business stakeholders to translate business needs into practical, scalable, secure technical designs.
  • Lead solution design reviews and provide architectural oversight for projects delivered by internal teams or external vendors.
  • Provide hands-on design support during project delivery, ensuring solutions align with enterprise standards and long-term architecture goals.
  • Partner with engineering to ensure solutions align with enterprise principles and long-term strategy.
  • Own the firm’s integration strategy, including patterns, tooling, and governance.
  • Design and evolve messaging and eventing frameworks to support reliable, real-time, and batch data flows.

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, solutions architecture, or senior technical leadership roles.
  • Strong experience designing systems within financial services (asset management, credit, capital markets, or related domains).
  • Broad knowledge of application, data, integration, and cloud architectures.
  • Experience defining integration frameworks, messaging patterns, and API strategies.
  • Experience with enterprise architecture tools, modeling frameworks, or governance processes.
  • Track record of working across vendor platforms and custom-built systems.
  • Strong communication skills, clear writing, structured thinking, and effective presentation.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence without authority.
  • Willingness to be hands-on in a lean, fast-moving environment.
