Thought Machine’s mission is bold – to properly and permanently rid the world’s banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology which run natively in the cloud. What we are attempting is hard and means we need great people working together to build great technology.

We have grown rapidly in the past few years – growing our team to more than 550 individuals across offices in London, New York, Singapore and Sydney. We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Nyca Partners, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, Temasek, Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Standard Chartered Ventures, and more.

We have created a culture enabling our team to produce the best work in the industry, ensuring we have fun along the way. We’re regularly cited as having a great workplace culture and have been named the best place to work in New York City by Crain’s, for two years in a row. We are also listed in Crain’s 2022 Fast 50 – as one of the fastest-growing businesses in New York City. .

Business Architects are a global client-facing team, sitting within Thought Machine’s Client Services division. Much like Solution Architects, who consult on the technical architecture of the target state, Business Architects are a relatively small team of high-value consultants that primarily support clients during the sales and early programme delivery phases before handing off execution to the programme’s delivery teams.

• Support Thought Machine’s clients in executing their core banking modernisation programmes, which includes consulting on (but not delivering);
  • developing the Product Strategy, including product prioritisation, rationalisation, and implementation methodologies,
  • advising on delivery phasing, leading to the programme ‘spine of the plan’ for end-end delivery,
  • analysing and understanding the impact of the overall transformation programme on the business and operating model,
  • discovering as-is products, processes and data, cataloguing these so that they can be considered when designing the target state,
  • shaping the high-level to-be products, processes and data, taking a holistic view across capabilities,
  • harmonising products and processes in the legacy estate in advance of production migrations.
• Be regarded by Thought Machine’s clients as;
  • an authority on the impact of strategic business requirements on their programme strategy / solution,
  • a key strategic partner, working closely with client stakeholders to discuss goals, identify opportunities and make recommendations,
  • a credible core banking and payments SME who can work with the client to solve complex design / delivery issues and effectively innovate and compete in the market
• Support Thought Machine’s internal functions through;
  • developing a deep understanding of the client's needs from both a programme perspective and their wider organisation,
  • highlighting the value of our wider professional services offering and providing opportunities to land and expand our delivery teams,
  • providing business-related client and industry insights to Thought Machine’s Product and Engineering teams, to support them in product roadmap prioritisation and feature design.
