Description
Objective of this Scope of Work

An end-to-end perspective across CSD, GSMD, CMD and
BSTD, considering how C3 and other

relevant initiatives integrate and come together, is required. The services of an Enterprise

Architect are required to oversee and facilitate the delivery, modelling, alignment, quality

assurance and sign-offs of all appropriate enterprise architecture deliverables as well as a

roadmap for the C3 programme. A coherent and holistic Enterprise Architecture approach needs

to be followed to ensure an end-to-end perspective is taken across CSD, CMD, GSMD and


BSTD


The Enterprise Architect will be accountable to deliver EA to support cross-functional, multi phase, and multi-project change initiatives for the C3 programme - EA to support Portfolio.

Other parties responsible for contributing to architecture deliverables will include domain architects and solution architects.

The Enterprise Architect will work under the guidance and direction of the Enterprise

Architecture division and the leadership of the Lead Enterprise Architect, in collaboration with

the other architects assigned to the programme as well as within the EA division, and work

closely with the Programme Manager, Project Managers, the Business Analysts, and the

Business End Users to deliver the Enterprise Architecture for the C3 Programme

In this context, the Enterprise Architect will deliver the necessary artefacts for the C3 Programme

according to the business Enterprise Architecture approach and standards, which is based on the

TOGAF. The artefacts will also be modelled in the business Repository according to the EA

metamodel, following the ArchiMate modelling notation.
