Enterprise Architect

LGT Wealth Management was formed around a clear and uncompromising vision – to bring global best practice in building institutional quality investment portfolios to Australian clients.

With a shared passion for building an uncompromised business – we created something new from the ground up. A chance to leave behind the things that weren’t working, while enhancing the things that were. Our authentic and personalised client-first commitment. Our entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus in best-in-class advice. And our intimate understanding of the Australian private wealth landscape.

In 2022 we became a part of the LGT Group, who shared our entrepreneurial spirit, long-term approach and private-ownership model. Today, with the global expertise, stability, and capability of LGT behind us, we can work without being reliant on markets or margins, with a singular focus on giving our clients the advice and deep expertise they need for generations to come.

We are seeking an Enterprise Architect to join our Technology team on a full-time permanent basis.

Your responsibilities

• Define and maintain the enterprise architecture vision, principles, standards, target states and transition roadmaps aligned with business strategy direction.

• Maintain decision-useful views of business capabilities, applications, technologies, information domains, integrations and critical service dependencies.

• Assess the current technology landscape and drive simplification, modernisation, reuse and retirement, making duplication, lifecycle risk and architectural debt visible.

• Set enterprise guardrails and reusable patterns across modular software, data, APIs, events, integration, identity, cloud, infrastructure, security, resilience and observability.

• Partner with the wider technology team to support their ways of working, recognising current practical engineering standards and paved-road delivery patterns to support your plans.

• Maintain the technology landscape covering the core wealth management platform and enterprise systems to ensure clear boundaries with client channels, data, integration, automation, Group and third-party platforms.

• Partner with data, security, risk, service and business owners so architecture decisions address information governance, privacy, regulatory obligations, operational viability and business continuity.

• Provide enterprise architecture assessments to support portfolio prioritisation and investment planning, evaluating strategic alignment, reuse opportunities, total cost of ownership, lifecycle position, and architecture-related concentration, exit and operational risks.

• Build effective relationships with Australian, APAC and LGT Group stakeholders to maximise reuse while ensuring local regulatory, market and operational requirements are explicit.

• Use incidents, problems, audit findings, vendor direction and delivery lessons to improve target architectures, standards and investment priorities.

• Act as a trusted adviser to business and technology stakeholders, translating business strategy into clear architectural implications and enabling well-informed decisions by articulating options, trade-offs, risks and recommendations.
