Enterprise Architect

BCI•Vancouver, BC

14d•CA$106,000 - CA$128,000•Hybrid

About The Position

BCI's Technology team is scaling how enterprise architecture shows up across the organization, and we're looking for an Enterprise Architect to help lead that expansion. Based in Victoria, with Vancouver considered for the right candidate, you'll work hands on with Technology Solution Managers and business partners across BCI, shaping the patterns and roadmaps behind our modernization. This is a collaborative role, not a top down one: you'll adapt your approach and level of detail to whoever is in the room, moving comfortably between technical deep dives and plain language business conversations. If you can translate complexity into something a room full of different audiences can act on, and you'd rather build consensus than dictate it, we'd like to hear from you. The Technology department is BCI's innovation catalyst and digital transformation engine, pioneering the future of institutional investment through cutting-edge technology solutions. We architect next-generation platforms powered by AI and cloud-native technologies that drive investment excellence and operational efficiency. As a strategic partner across all areas of BCI's business, we don't just implement technology—we envision breakthrough digital experiences of the future. Our department leads digital transformation initiatives, creates intelligent automation solutions, and builds secure, scalable infrastructure that supports everything from identifying investment opportunities and decision-making, portfolio management to risk analysis, trade processing, and regulatory reporting. We cultivate digitally empowered workplaces through advanced collaboration ecosystems and productivity platforms, enabling our Technology and business teams to thrive in tomorrow's investment landscape. BCI's Technology team is modernizing the platform that supports one of Canada's largest institutional investors. As an Enterprise Architect, you'll shape the architectures behind that transformation — setting standards, patterns, and roadmaps across application, data, integration, cloud, security, and AI — while staying close enough to implementation to keep your recommendations grounded and credible.
