- Define and maintain architecture principles patterns guardrails and decision logs.
- Work closely with Business IT Operations GRC and Security stakeholders to ensure architecture governance supports delivery not just documentation.
- Guide domain SMEs (Security Data Integration Solution) and ensure their work is aligned to the overall architecture.
- Run and facilitate architecture and design workshops both remotely and on-site (mainly Casablanca).
- Support 1-2 pilot projects to go end-to-end through the new EA workflow during the first phase of the engagement.
- Coach internal architects and analysts so that the client can operate and own the EA capability after the initial phases.

- Background working in project-heavy industries such as engineering construction energy utilities manufacturing or similar.
- Strong stakeholder skills able to work credibly with CIO Heads of IT GRC Security and business leaders.
- Comfortable working in hybrid mode (remote on-site visits to Casablanca and occasionally to London).
- Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal).
- Able to travel internationally for short on-site trips as needed.
Nice to have

- Experience with Microsoft 365 / Azure / SAP / project portfolio tools.
- French language skills and/or experience working with Francophone or North African clients.
- Prior consulting experience in a client-facing role.
Benefits

- Competitive compensation package with scope for long-term collaboration on follow-on phases and other engagements.
- Direct access to Intelance leadership and the chance to help shape our EA practice and methods.
If you are a hands-on Enterprise or Solution Architect who enjoys building practical architecture operating models rather than producing shelfware wed love to hear from you.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief introductory call followed by a practical case discussion with the Intelance team.
