Enterprise Architect

ABOUT SKIFFRA Skiffra is building the intelligence layer for operational decision-making in physical industries. We're developing AI-native orchestration systems that turn complex, high-stakes operations into intelligent, adaptive workflows. We're starting with mining and natural resources, where decisions move people, equipment and capital, and where the consequences of getting them wrong are real. Our ambition extends well beyond mining.

We're building a platform designed to change how physical industries make decisions. ROLE OVERVIEW Reporting to: Global CIO Location: Multi timezone coverage. Scope: Skiffra and Partner Companies. ROLE PURPOSE The Enterprise Architect establishes a clear picture of where the operating organisations' technology estate is today, defines where it needs to be, and drives the standards and roadmap that get it there. The role leads discovery and documents the as-is environment with particular focus on corporate systems, document management, integration technologies, identity and data platforms and services.

From that baseline it defines the to-be enterprise architecture required to deliver the vision of the most technologically advanced mining company in the world. This is a hands-on role. The ideal candidate is excited by thought leadership and driving architecture maturity, and is equally ready to pick up the pen and help us get the basics right. We are a visible sponsor of safety. WAY OF WORKING This role works across two speeds at once: the pace of a start-up building new capability, and the rigour required to run large, complex operating organisations.

With the operating organisations Works alongside business, IT and operational teams to understand how the estate really runs today not just how it is documented. Builds trust through discovery, then turns that understanding into standards and change the organisations adopt and own. With Skiffra product and engineering teams Ensures enterprise architecture requirements and standards are reflected in Skiffra's product implementation playbooks, so every deployment lands on a consistent, supportable foundation.

With technology partners and vendors Operates as an informed client: reviews partner designs and recommendations, tests their assumptions and holds them to the agreed standards. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Discovery and as-is architecture - Lead discovery across the operating organisations and document the as-is environment, including capability mapping. - Initial focus on, but not limited to, the information systems and technical architecture of corporate systems (ERP, finance, HR, procurement, supply chain), document management, integration technologies, identity and data platforms and services.

Mining applications and operational technology to follow as required. - Map enterprise services and capabilities and applicable as-is technical landscape. To-be architecture - Collaborate to define the future-state vision of the most technologically advanced mining company in the world and translate into desired end-state architecture bridging AI, automation and data readiness. - Identify roadmap activities required to progress from current to future state.

Strategy and roadmap - Contribute to technology strategy and roadmap creation, translating architecture choices into business outcomes, cost and risk. - Prioritise initiatives so foundational work and transformational work progress together. Standards and adoption - Drive the definition of enterprise standards, principles and reference architectures. - Lead their implementation and adoption into the operating organisations, including governance and a clear exception process.

Skiffra Implementation - Provide input into Skiffra product implementation requirements. REQUIRED EXPERIENCE - 10+ years in enterprise, solution or domain architecture, including leading enterprise-wide architecture work. - Experience in technology roadmap and strategy development. - Proven experience running discovery and documenting as-is environments in large, complex organisations. - Experience defining to-be architectures and transition roadmaps that were adopted and delivered. - Experience defining enterprise standards and driving their adoption across multiple business units or organisations. - Broad knowledge of corporate systems, document management, integration, identity and data platforms. - Comfortable working at pace in a start-up or transformation environment with ambiguity and competing priorities. - Familiarity with OT systems and the IT/OT boundary (desirable, not mandatory). - Mining, resources or heavy industry experience (desirable).

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE Corporate systems - ERP (e.g. SAP), finance, HR, procurement and supply chain - Maintenance and work management (e.g. work orders, asset management) - Application portfolio management and rationalisation Document and information management - Enterprise content and records management (e.g. SharePoint, OpenText) - Engineering and technical document control - Information governance, retention and classification Integration technologies - API management, middleware and integration platforms (iPaaS, ESB) - Event-driven and messaging architectures - Integration standards, patterns and reference architectures Identity platforms and services - Enterprise identity and access management (e.g.

Microsoft Entra ID) - Single Sign-On, federation, MFA and RBAC - Identity governance and Zero Trust principles Data platforms and services - Data architecture, data warehouses, lakes and lakehouses - Master data, data governance and data quality - Central versus regional data models, multi-tenancy and data access controls OT systems (desirable) - IT/OT integration, edge compute and network segmentation - Industrial control systems, historians and SCADA Architecture practice - Architecture frameworks and methods (e.g.

TOGAF) - Architecture repositories and modelling tools - Architecture governance, review boards and exception management PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - TOGAF certification (preferred) - Cloud architecture certification (Azure, GCP or AWS) (desirable) - Tertiary qualification in IT, engineering, computer science or related field SUCCESS PROFILE - Excited by thought leadership and driving architecture maturity, and equally willing to pick up the pen and get the basics done. - Moves comfortably between big-picture vision and detailed as-is documentation. - Thrives in a fast start-up environment while respecting the realities of large, complex operating organisations. - Builds credibility with business, IT and operational stakeholders, and turns standards into adopted practice. - Strong communicator who translates architecture choices into business outcomes, cost and risk. - Curious about mining and operational technology, and motivated by building the most technologically advanced mining company in the world.
