Enterprise Architect-Vice President

As the Enterprise Architect-Vice President at Barclays, you will play a key role in building a scalable data platform with modern tools and capabilities to be used across the organization. Your primary responsibility will be to enhance the central enterprise architecture capabilities, govern and influence development, and facilitate integration. To excel in this role, you should have experience with industry-standard enterprise data platform stack technologies and ideally with the AWS technology stack. This includes knowledge of catalogue, governance, storage, transformation, streaming, data publication, and consumption capabilities. Effective communication skills are essential, as you will collaborate with stakeholders across departments and time-zones, including Director and MD-level stakeholders. Familiarity with modern communication methodologies and tools like Jira, Confluence, and C4 is also valuable. Additional skills that are highly valued for this role include experience with AWS cloud services such as S3, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, CloudFormation, as well as with platforms like Databricks, Snowflake, Starburst, and Iceberg. Matrix-management experience, agility, flexibility, governance execution, and a passion for technology are also important attributes. You will be evaluated based on critical skills such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking, digital and technology expertise, and job-specific technical skills. The role is based in Pune and involves designing, developing, and implementing solutions to complex business problems. You will collaborate with stakeholders to understand their needs, design solutions that align with modern software engineering practices, and balance technology risks against business delivery. Your responsibilities include designing products that can evolve, implementing technologies and platforms, and applying workload placement strategies to maximize cloud benefits. As a Vice President, you are expected to contribute to setting strategy, driving requirements, managing resources and policies, delivering continuous improvements, and escalating policy breaches. If you have leadership responsibilities, you will demonstrate leadership behaviours to create a thriving environment for colleagues. For individual contributors, you will be a subject matter expert guiding technical direction and leading collaborative assignments. You will advise key stakeholders, manage and mitigate risks, demonstrate accountability, collaborate with other areas of work, and create solutions based on analytical thinking. Building trusting relationships with internal and external stakeholders is crucial to achieving key business objectives.
