Why Tokio Marine Holdings? 

Tokio Marine Holdings (TMHD) is a $55bn international insurance group with businesses across more than 40 countries. Our Group Companies vary considerably in size and shape and operate in a federated model which is diverse, entrepreneurial, and close to their markets. However, they all share a common commitment to excellence, trust, and long-term value creation.

The Global Enterprise Architecture (EA) team works alongside Group Company (GC) architects and senior leaders to build maturity, enable collaboration, and drive shared innovation across our global architecture community. Joining TMHD means contributing to this journey: helping our businesses grow through well-designed, well-connected, and future-ready architectures. 

About the Opportunity

At a global level, you will help direct collaboration and best practice through participating in the Global EA Subcommittee and global working groups, and through engaging with GC architects and executives to translate strategy into actionable architecture outcomes. This role blends influence, expertise, and enablement - balancing global direction with local autonomy.

• Provide mentoring, coaching, and informal guidance to GC architects and contributors to strengthen the global EA network
