Enterprise Architect – Retail Payments Infrastructure
Hybrid – 2 Days per week in London
£600/day | Inside IR35
4 months (extensions very likely)
Active SC Clearance Required
Here's a rare opportunity to shape the future of retail payments in the UK — not just talk about it, but actually design it.
We're looking for an Enterprise Architect to join a high-impact initiative focused on building next-generation retail payments infrastructure via Consultancy. This is the kind of role where your thinking directly influences how millions of people interact with the financial system.
What you'll be doing:
Day-to-day, you'll be working at the intersection of strategy, design, and delivery — producing high-level designs for future payments infrastructure, distilling research and best practice into actionable recommendations, and writing papers that win buy-in from senior internal and external boards.
You'll engage directly with industry stakeholders to understand their needs, design end-to-end user journeys, and partner with the Retail Payment Innovation Board Design Authority and the newly established Delivery Company to keep everything aligned to the bigger picture.
What we're looking for:
You don't need to tick every box, but you should bring:
✅ A track record of communicating complex ideas and getting people on board
✅ The ability to break down hard problems and make clear, evidence-based recommendations
✅ Experience weighing up competing options against strategic and policy goals
✅ A genuine passion for technology and using it to create public value
✅ Real enthusiasm for retail payments — and the ambition to help transform it for the country
Bonus points if you have:
- A background in design or architecture
- Experience leading or contributing to project delivery
- Direct retail payments system, design, or supervisory experience
- Experience working via consultancy
