A prestigious global law firm undergoing a significant technology transformation is seeking an experienced Enterprise Architect with a focus on People and Talent systems. This role will join a growing Enterprise Architecture team alongside specialists supporting Finance and Business Development functions.

This is a strategic role that goes beyond delivery — the successful candidate will act as a trusted advisor, partnering closely with senior leaders including the Head of HR and Head of Payroll to identify pain points, provide strategic insight, and influence change that drives business value through technology.

Role Overview

Lead the architecture and rollout of enterprise HR platforms, including Workday (implementation or core usage experience highly desirable but not essential)
Translate complex technical solutions into clear business outcomes aligned with the firm’s strategic goals
Collaborate across Finance and other business areas to ensure seamless integration and alignment
Bring a consultancy mindset to assess challenges and recommend practical, scalable improvements
Influence senior stakeholders across the firm, many of whom may not be data or tech literate, through clear and effective communication

Key Responsibilities

Apply deep technical and commercial insight to deliver effective programs of change and investment
Guide the technical design and architecture of solutions to ensure global readiness and compliance
Collaborate across Technology and business teams to align architecture with business strategy and market trends
Identify opportunities to improve service quality, productivity, and cost-efficiency in people and talent systems
Maximise business value from existing and future technology investments

Candidate Profile

Minimum 2 years’ experience as an Enterprise Architect or in a closely related role, with 5–10 years’ overall professional experience
Proven ability to work strategically and collaboratively with senior stakeholders across multiple functions
Experience with enterprise HR platforms, ideally including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or equivalent
Strong ability to engage effectively with HR, Payroll, Finance, and Technology teams
Consultancy approach to problem-solving — identifying issues and delivering actionable recommendations
Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences

This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in the digital transformation of a world-leading law firm, helping to shape the future of their people and talent architecture.
