Business Enterprise Architect

The Business Enterprise Architect is a senior leadership role within the Transformation team, responsible for establishing and leading the Business Enterprise Architecture capability at Super. This position connects business strategy, operating model, and technology investments across the enterprise, acting as a strategic integrator to ensure the organisation evolves in a coherent, scalable, and business-aligned way. Operating at a strategic level, the role works across business and technology leadership to shape how the organisation delivers value, drives transformation, and adopts emerging capabilities including digital and AI.

What the role involves

Enterprise Architecture Leadership

• Define and lead the business architecture practice, aligned to business strategy and technology roadmap.
• Build and maintain enterprise-level models of business capabilities, processes, value streams, and data capabilities, connecting these with organisational design.
• Partner with the Technical/Solution Enterprise Architect, Head of Automation/AI, and Data leads to establish guardrails and frameworks that keep business and technology decisions consistent and future-proof.

Strategy-to-Execution Alignment

• Translate strategic objectives into capability roadmaps, develop and maintain target state architectures, and ensure investments align with enterprise priorities.
• Identify capability gaps and inform portfolio planning, sequencing, and investment decisions.
• Connect business priorities with delivery portfolios in partnership with technology teams, and provide executive visibility on where to invest, consolidate, or transform.
• Identify opportunities to enhance business capabilities through digital, data, and AI-driven solutions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Engage business leaders across all functions to align processes and capabilities.
• Partner with the Technical/Solution Enterprise Architect and Enterprise Engineering Team to ensure coherence across business, data, applications, and technology layers.
• Provide a neutral, enterprise-wide perspective in decision-making, optimising for the whole.

Governance & Standards

• Define enterprise-wide standards for capability mapping, process design, and portfolio alignment, co-owned with the Business Process Management team.
• Establish lightweight governance to ensure initiatives follow agreed principles, standards, and best practices — enabling consistency and scalability without becoming a control gate.

Leadership & Influence

• Act as a trusted adviser to the executive team on enterprise coherence, transformation, and change impact.
• Foster a culture of collaboration, systems thinking, and long-term alignment across organisational silos.

What we are looking for

• 8–10+ years of experience in business architecture, consulting, or enterprise strategy roles, with at least 5 years in a leadership or strategic capacity.
• Proven track record in enterprise/business architecture or adjacent fields such as strategy, operating model design, or large-scale transformation.
• Strong understanding of enterprise operating models, capability frameworks, and transformation practices.
• Experience working in product-led organisations and partnering with technology and product leaders.
• Ability to operate at executive level and communicate complex concepts clearly and simply.

Nice to have

• TOGAF or equivalent certification — pragmatic application valued over formal accreditation.
• BPMN process modelling experience.
• Experience with agile-at-scale frameworks (e.g. SAFe, LeSS or equivalent), with a proven ability to connect enterprise architecture practice into agile delivery models.
