About the role
- Working either individually or as part of a larger Actica team, you will undertake a number of consultancy assignments, which could include:
- - Providing architecture services in complex transformation programmes to enable alignment and drive coherent delivery based on value streams;
- - Developing baseline and transition architectures to support the client's strategic and/or implementation planning of ICT services within a business change programme;
- - Developing architecture views to describe all aspects of a client's organisation, such as its business, applications and data architecture;
- - Developing and assuring high-level solution designs.
Requirements
- - Experience in using enterprise or business architecture frameworks and practices such as TOGAF to enable a large, complex business to plan, deliver and govern change;
- - Experience producing architecture documentation, such as options assessments, suitable to engage business stakeholders in both informal and formal governance settings;
- - A flexible, consulting mindset. The fast-moving nature of the ICT environment, together with the need to resource multiple, ad-hoc assignments, requires our consultants to be quick thinkers, proactive and self-motivated and have the ability to apply a structured approach to often unfamiliar subject matter;
- - Excellent interpersonal, presentation and written communication skills.
- The following desirable attributes and areas of experience will make you particularly suited to this role with Actica:
- - Experience in the public sector, defence or financial services, preferably within the ICT context on enterprise solutions;
- - Consulting experience in the public sector or defence;
- - Architectural expertise in one or more of business, solutions or service architecture domains.
- Almost all of our roles require a high degree of technical skill. That being said, we are consultants and therefore a wide and varied background is preferable as the capability to adapt quickly to change is often required. ****You might not feel that your skills precisely match the requirements of this job specification; however, we encourage you to apply if this is a role that appeals to you. We require individuals with a broad skillset, so there may be other aspects of your experience which are equally important to us, but that are perhaps not listed in this specific role specification.
