Responsibilities:

Strategy, Solutioning & Leadership

• •Engage clients as a trusted advisor, connecting business goals, strategic priorities, and enterprise architecture into a direction that everyone from engineers to executives can act on.
• •Run strategy and planning workshops that drive real alignment, not just attendance. You surface what matters, cut through the noise, and get stakeholders moving.
• •Evaluate emerging technologies with a critical eye, separating signal from hype and translating what is real into clear and actionable recommendations
• •Drive innovation and best practice adoption across transformation strategy and modern EA frameworks by setting the standard.
• •Think in costs, impact, and value across people, process, and technology.

• •Provide architectural oversight across all platforms, upholding best practices, risk standards, and governance guidelines even when it is easier not to.
• •Conduct high-level design reviews, assess the current-state architecture without flinching, and define migration paths for existing and new platforms with clarity and rigor.
• •Drive governance and data governance, establishing the standards, patterns, and guardrails that keep complex programs from drifting.
• •Build and maintain reference architectures across enterprise platforms, data, applications, and integration layers, including guiding principles, standards, and usage guidelines that teams can actually use.
• •Collaborate with enterprise, practice, and client architects to create reusable standards and patterns, and avoid reinventing what is working.
• •Make complex things understandable by creating contextual and conceptual models that cut through complexity for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• •Map and manage interdependencies across application, information, and technology domains. In a program of this size and complexity, that visibility is everything.
• •Understand how AI and automation capabilities fit into the broader enterprise architecture and what it takes to govern and operationalize them responsibly.

Practice Contribution

• •Show up for the practice, as well as the client. Contribute to proposals, solutioning, and the evolution of our EA offerings.
• •Serve as a resource and informal mentor to Practice Architects on the team.
