Junior IT Business Partner, Digital Workplace

The key word is change. Technology is no longer a support function. Agents are becoming active participants in workflows. New entrants are reshaping the SaaS landscape and turning multi-year contracts into strategic liabilities. Governance demands around data sovereignty, security, and responsible use of AI are expanding. And velocity mismatches between strategy, architecture, and governance remain the largest source of wasted IT investment today. We are seeking an Enterprise Architect to design and govern the holistic blueprint that connects business strategy, applications, data, and technology across our clients’ organisations. Someone who can see the whole picture and make it coherent. WHO IS UMAIN? We were founded with a heritage in digital product development and engineering. This background gives us a unique perspective, ensuring that our strategic advice is always grounded in technical feasibility and execution excellence. We are now expanding our focus to help clients at the C-level, linking core technology strategy directly to business outcomes. Umain is proudly part of Eidra, a consultancy collective driven by the conviction that business transformation requires a combination of management consulting and best-in-breed expertise in creativity, engineering, and data. This partnership means that while you focus on strategic IT-Management and enterprise architecture, you have full access to orchestrate common capabilities from the best specialized companies within the collective. Our team consists of individuals with experience from the largest consulting firms, but with the flexibility, speed, and entrepreneurial drive that characterize a modern, flat organization. At Umain, we highly value collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit. Here, you are not only expected to lead demanding client assignments; you are also expected to actively contribute to our internal development, whether it involves shaping new service offerings in AI/Data or mentoring our junior talent. We reward those who take ownership and drive us forward. THE ROLE: WHAT WILL YOU DO? As an Enterprise Architect within Eidra’s Tech Advisory & IT Management practice, you are the structural backbone of our client engagements. You work across assessment, design, and transformation, ensuring that architectural decisions hold up from boardroom to codebase. Your assignments will involve: * Architecture Assessment & Scoring: Evaluating client technology estates for maturity, composability, technical debt, and swap-readiness. Producing actionable findings that connect directly to business outcomes and sourcing decisions. * Enterprise Architecture Design: Designing composable, API-first architectures that replace rigid target-state blueprints with modular, swap-ready designs. Guiding major technology decisions on platforms, integration patterns, and cloud strategy. * AI Readiness & Data Architecture: Assessing and designing the data and platform foundations needed for AI adoption. Designing model-agnostic AI layers that enable provider flexibility and reduce lock-in. * Strategic Communication: Translating architecture decisions into business impact language for CIOs and boards. Connecting architecture findings to investment priorities, sourcing strategy, and risk posture. * Internal Leadership: Actively contributing to Eidra’s business development, mentoring colleagues, and developing our architecture competency pool. WHO ARE YOU? We are looking for someone who: * Has 7+ years of relevant experience in enterprise architecture, technology strategy, or IT transformation. Typical backgrounds include Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect, CTO, or Technology Advisor. * Is driven by a deep passion for making complex technology landscapes coherent, composable, and aligned with business strategy. * Has a documented ability to assess, design, and govern enterprise architecture across diverse industries and technology estates. * Has a natural ability to structure and communicate complex architectural concepts to both engineering teams and C-suite stakeholders. REQUIRED COMPETENCIES * Enterprise Architecture Practice: Deep expertise in enterprise architecture frameworks adapted for modern, AI-era contexts. Experience maintaining architectural principles as standing policies and governing technology decisions across the enterprise. * Platform & Integration Design: Hands-on experience with enterprise platforms and business-critical systems (e.g. ERP, CRM, modern data stacks), combined with strong expertise in integration architecture, API strategy, and cloud architecture. * Composable Architecture: Ability to design modular, API-first architectures and assess technology components for swap-readiness, lock-in risk, and technical debt. * Strategic AI: Solid understanding of how to design AI-ready platforms, including model-agnostic AI layers, data architecture for AI/ML workloads, and the implications of AI on enterprise architecture. * Business-Technology Alignment: A proven ability to connect architecture decisions to business outcomes, investment cases, and sourcing strategy. * Collaborative Mindset: A collaborative and open approach, with a genuine commitment to continuous development, team building, and long-term client relationships. * Language: Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential.
