Enterprise / Solution Architecture Lead (Cloud / Platform) - Africa at KPMG

Position Summary

• The Enterprise / Solution Architecture Lead is a Senior Manager-level role responsible for ensuring that all major KPMG T&I engagements are correctly designed, technically sound, and structured for repeatable, scalable delivery - before contracts are signed.

Academic/ Professional qualifications and Experience:

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.

• TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture certification preferred.
• Minimum 10 years of technology experience, with at least 5 years in enterprise or solution architecture roles within a consulting or systems integration context.
• Proven experience designing and reviewing architectures for large-scale cloud migration, platform modernisation, or digital transformation programmes.
• Familiarity with African market delivery constraints and infrastructure environments.
