• Provide technical architecture support for the definition and evolution of the enterprise resilience and failover architecture.
• Assess the current resilience and failover architecture across relevant applications, platforms, infrastructure and dependencies.
• Identify architectural bottlenecks, single points of failure, recovery constraints and cross-site dependency risks.
• Develop target-state resilience and failover architecture options aligned with rapid recovery objectives.
• Evaluate technical options and trade-offs covering availability, recoverability, operability, complexity, cost and implementation risk.
• Work with Enterprise Architecture, Technology Platforms, DR/Operations, Cyber Security and application owners to validate architecture assumptions and requirements.
• Produce architecture artefacts and recommendations for governance review; operational implementation and DR test execution remain with the accountable platform and operations teams.
Required Skills
• Strong architecture experience in enterprise resilience, disaster recovery, high availability and failover design.
• Knowledge of active-active, active-passive, multi-site and multi-region architecture patterns.
• Ability to assess end-to-end application, infrastructure, network, data, integration and cloud dependencies.
• Experience defining RTO/RPO-aligned architecture and analysing recovery failure modes.
• Strong stakeholder facilitation, technical option assessment and architecture documentation skills.
• Experience in regulated financial services or similarly critical environments is strongly preferred.
Key Deliverables
• Current-state resilience and failover architecture assessment.
• Documented architecture risks, bottlenecks, dependency gaps and prioritized remediation considerations.
• Target-state resilience and failover architecture covering applications, platforms, infrastructure and critical technology dependencies.
• Technical options paper with trade-offs, recommendation and implementation dependencies.
• Architecture roadmap and transition considerations for the agreed target state.
• Governance-ready architecture pack, architecture decisions and recommendations supporting target-state approval and implementation planning.
