A day in the life
The Business Architecture role is part of the Transformation & Operational Excellence function and supports Prologis’ company-wide strategic transformation across Leasing, Customer Logistics & Development, Essentials, Energy, and Data. The role translates strategic intent into actionable business architecture, including OKRs, roadmaps, capabilities, processes, data, operating models, and organizational design. This position partners with business-line leaders, FP&A, IT/Data, transformation teams, and customer executives to create a coherent enterprise view that supports cross-business integration and value delivery.

- Build the analytical case for capabilities to build, buy, integrate, or retire; advise program leads on sequencing; and contribute to business cases through cost modeling, risk assessment, and margin optimization.
- Establish and maintain architecture standards, taxonomies, repositories, templates, naming conventions, configuration baselines, and governance practices that preserve decision history and support consistent adoption.
- Engage customer executives and technical leaders to understand business and IT transformation priorities, identify automation and AI opportunities, and present architecture roadmaps, risks, achievements, and priorities during business reviews.
