Head of Enterprise Architecture at Xpertise Recruitment, Manchester, £800-£850 per day

Enterprise Architect - (Sales & Customer Technology)

Location: Manchester / London (Hybrid - travel required)

Day rate: £800 - £850 per day (Outside IR35)

We're supporting an organisation going through a period of technology and commercial evolution, where there is a clear need to bring structure, alignment and architectural direction across a complex, sales-led technology estate.

This role has been created to introduce a more defined Enterprise Architecture capability, with an immediate focus on establishing a lean, pragmatic framework that enables delivery rather than slowing it down.

You'll be working closely with senior stakeholders across business and technology, shaping how customer, sales and revenue-generating platforms evolve over the next phase of growth.

What you'll be doing

• 
  
• Leading the design and governance of the enterprise technology landscape
• Taking ownership of architecture across CRM, billing, invoicing and customer lifecycle platforms
• Driving alignment of a major Dynamics 365 CE programme with wider business objectives
• Mapping a complex current estate and defining a clear, deliverable future state
• Establishing integration standards across APIs, middleware and data flows
• Building a fit-for-purpose EA framework that supports delivery teams
• Acting as a senior advisor to stakeholders, influencing both short-term delivery and longer-term direction

What we're looking for

• 
  
• Experience operating at Enterprise Architect level within complex environments
• Background across sales-led or customer-centric technology landscapes
• Strong experience with CRM platforms (Dynamics 365, Salesforce or similar)
• Deep understanding of integration architecture and data flows
• Cloud experience across Azure, AWS or similar
• Comfortable operating in environments where structure needs to be introduced and shaped

This role will suit someone who prefers to build and influence rather than inherit, and who is comfortable operating in an environment where not everything is fully defined.

Please get intouch for further ifnromation.
