Job description

Job Description: Group Enterprise Architect London - 2/3 days per week in the office Full time - 35 hours Competitive salary & fantastic benefits package The closing date for all applications is Monday 16th November 2026 We make health happen! Technology can transform healthcare. But only when the foundations behind it are designed to connect, scale and ultimately make a difference to people’s lives. At Bupa, our purpose is simple: helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. As our transformation accelerates, with digital, data, technology and AI opening up new possibilities for how we serve our customers, great architecture has never mattered more. As our Group Enterprise Architect, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the technology foundations that help bring that purpose to life. Working across Bupa’s businesses and technology communities around the world, you’ll connect thinking, create clarity from complexity and help turn bold strategic ambitions into enterprise architecture that can make a tangible difference to millions of customers. This isn’t an architecture role that sits at a distance from the business. You’ll be at the heart of our Connected Care journey, helping us create the shared models, standards and architectural disciplines that enable our teams to move together with greater pace, confidence and consistency. The impact ultimately reaches far beyond technology: helping create simpler, more connected experiences and enabling Bupa to deliver better, more joined-up care for our customers. You won’t do that through hierarchy. You’ll do it through credibility, curiosity and influence, bringing architects and engineers together across a diverse global organisation, challenging thinking constructively and making the complex clear, practical and actionable. If you’re an Enterprise Architect who wants your work to mean something beyond the architecture itself, this is an opportunity to help shape the technology behind the future of healthcare. How you’ll help us make health happen: Strengthen our architecture culture, community and professional excellence Build trusted relationships across Bupa’s global architecture and engineering communities, creating an environment where teams actively share knowledge, patterns, assets and lessons learned. Strengthen our architecture community through purposeful forums, practical learning and shared standards, identifying opportunities to reuse proven solutions, capabilities and approaches across markets while respecting local context. Manage global technology KPIs and transformation insight Lead the day-to-day management of Bupa’s global technology KPIs, maintaining clear definitions, controls, reporting rhythms and accountability, with particular stewardship of our strategic Cloud KPI. Turn performance data into clear, decision-useful insight for technology leaders, highlighting progress, trends, risks and actions, while ensuring our measures continue to reflect Bupa’s evolving technology and transformation priorities. Maintain common architecture models and frameworks Maintain and evolve Bupa’s shared architecture models, taxonomies, principles, methods and frameworks, working with architecture and engineering teams to ensure they are practical, relevant and grounded in delivery. Create clear, accessible artefacts that help teams understand our enterprise landscape, make better design decisions and connect local change to our wider Group strategy. Chair and develop the Bupa Architecture Council Chair and evolve the Bupa Architecture Council, creating a focused forum for constructive challenge, clear decision-making and accountable follow-through. Strengthen its connection to technology strategy, investment, engineering and delivery, using the Council to tackle shared challenges, accelerate reuse and strengthen architecture practice across Bupa.
