• Enabling delivery through the definition of methodologies, approach, team structure, and supporting technologies that enable successful transformation across an engineering lifecycle.
• Shaping policies, principles and standards, aligning IT transformation to these in an organisational/enterprise context, in order to deliver efficiently.
• Ensuring full lifecycle traceability of stakeholder requirements, supporting project planning with accurate assumptions, and simplifying complexity for senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with TOGAF and Archimate or similar

Employment is subject to satisfactory BPSS and SC security clearance which requires 5 years continuous UK address history at the point of application. Travel to client sites and Logiq offices will be required.
