Enterprise Architect

Job description

Position Description:

At CGI, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of digital services across Social Work and Social Care, driving transformation that has real impact for citizens and the public sector. As an Enterprise Architect, you will guide complex discovery activity, create clarity from ambiguity, and design strategies that help clients realise measurable value from their digital front door ambitions. You’ll work alongside committed experts who support you to take ownership, think creatively, and deliver meaningful outcomes that influence national decision-making. This is an opportunity to lead high-impact work while contributing to an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and long-term partnership.
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK ‘Best Employer’ by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

You will take ownership of planning, modelling, and stakeholder engagement to ensure programme clarity and alignment, while working creatively with cross-functional teams to identify high-value use cases. You will be supported by a collaborative community of experts as you guide discovery outputs and influence business case development that will shape future digital health and care services.
During delivery, you will bring teams together across policy, architecture, and programme leadership, ensuring risks, dependencies, and complex political landscapes are managed effectively. Your insight will directly inform investment decisions and the evolution of Scotland’s digital health and care ecosystem.
Key responsibilities:
• Lead & Shape: Lead pre-discovery and discovery phases, defining scope, plans, timelines, and outputs.
• Develop & Deliver: Produce discovery findings, recommendations, and updates to Full Business Cases aligned to Green Book requirements.

• Engage & Influence: Build strong relationships across NHS Scotland, Scottish Government, COSLA, and Social Work & Social Care sectors.
• Guide & Align: Manage dependencies and ensure cohesive delivery across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Review & Improve: Update the existing programme business case and support wider client queries and communications.

To succeed in this role, you will bring significant experience in enterprise architecture, discovery leadership, and public-sector digital transformation. You should demonstrate strong consulting capability, exceptional stakeholder management, and proven expertise in cost and benefits modelling within Green Book frameworks.
