So this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.

This exciting role will be working closely with Digital Transformation, Systems Development, Infrastructure, Data, and business stakeholders. The postholder will provide architectural oversight for major initiatives, advise on solution design, and ensure coherent evolution of the University’s systems estate.

Some of the responsibilities will include:

Define and maintain the University’s enterprise architecture principles, standards, and target-state architecture.
Provide architectural oversight and design assurance for major programmes and projects.
Ensure alignment between business strategy, application architecture, data architecture, and integration patterns.

What we offer:

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)
hybrid working (dependent on business needs)
training & development support opportunities
contributory pension scheme
discounted gym membership for our on-site gym
a range of staff discounts with major retailers.

We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace and aim to continue building an environment where everyone thrives and can be themselves.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role. Please reach out to David.Weight @bnu.ac.uk if you have any specific needs or if you would like more information on how we can support you.

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date: 27 August 2026

Interview Date: W/C 1st September and 7th September

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a Visa, current visa and status. Sponsorship is dependent on the salary level of the position
