Who we are looking forThe Enterprise Architect is a senior technology leader responsible for defining, governing, and realizing the organization's enterprise architecture across Business, Data, Application, and Technology/Platform domains. This role ensures strategic business objectives are translated into cohesive, implementable architectures that are secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective. This individual collaborates closely with business and process leaders and technical teams to deliver measurable outcomes. The role brings to bear artificial intelligence (AI) to improve architectural analysis, accelerate decision-making, and improve execution efficiency-while ensuring responsible and compliant AI adoption.
What you get to do- Business Architecture
- Define, maintain, and communicate capability maps, value streams, process models, and organizational impact assessments.
- Align architecture plans with business outcomes, benefits, and important metrics; ensure traceability from strategy to delivery.
- Data Architecture
- Establish enterprise data principles, domain models, integration patterns, governance frameworks, and data quality standards.
- Architect data platforms supporting analytics, AI/machine learning, and real-time decisioning (e.g., streaming, event processing).
- Define data ownership, stewardship, lineage, privacy, and security practices with data leaders and compliance teams.
- Ensure data designs enable responsible AI (model governance, bias monitoring, explainability, and auditability).
- Application Architecture
- Define target-state application architecture emphasizing modularity/replaceability, interoperability, scalability, and lifecycle sustainability.
- Promote API-first, AI-native, cloud-native, event-driven, and reusable component patterns; guide microservices boundaries and domain design.
- Technology Architecture
- Create blueprints for platforms/solutions, infrastructure, integration layers, and cloud environments (hybrid/multi-cloud as applicable).
- Ensure patterns support DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), observability, automation, resilience, and security-by-design.
- Lead platform and vendor evaluations aligned to principles, requirements, total cost of ownership (TCO), and business value.
- Governance and Standards
- Establish and maintain enterprise architecture policies, standards, reference architectures, patterns, models, roadmaps, and guardrails.
- Lead architecture review boards and initiative checkpoints; implement compliance and handle exceptions responsibly.
- Provide structured guidance on build-vs-buy decisions, risk trade-offs, and technical debt management.
- Embed zero-trust, security-by-design, and regulatory requirements (privacy, audit, industry standards) into architecture patterns.
- Conduct threat modeling and resilience planning; define strategies for continuity, disaster recovery, reliability, and supply-chain security.
- Build roadmaps using current and target models driven from impact and gap analysis activities.
- Translate roadmaps into actionable implementation plans, epics, and achievements with clear acceptance criteria and measurable business value.
- Rationalize the application portfolio; eliminate redundancies, reduce technical debt, and lead modernization/migration paths.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Use AI tools to model dependencies, identify risks, estimate impact, and optimize designs; apply AI for architectural telemetry and pattern detection.
- Employ generative AI to accelerate documentation, standards creation, scenario modeling, solution design assistance, and governance workflows.
- Define architectural patterns and guardrails for responsible enterprise AI, including data requirements, MLOps, model lifecycle, and compliance.
- Execution Optimization
- Drive innovative realization approaches to shorten cycle time.
- Guide delivery teams through design, build, and release; make timely architectural decisions and remove blockers.
- Track execution against architecture objectives; identify deviations and lead corrective actions to restore alignment without sacrificing throughput.
- Validate post-implementation outcomes to confirm design intent, security/compliance, and time-to-value realization.
- Champion methods, tools, and architectures that continuously reduce time-to-market.
- Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leadership on modernization, platform strategy, and enterprise capability evolution.
- Mentor architects, engineers, analysts, and product leaders to elevate architectural maturity and delivery excellence. Ability to unify teams and drive effective and efficient decision making through the mastery of influence.
- Foster a culture of transparency, shared problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
What you bring to the Team- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
- 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in enterprise, solution, data, application, or platform architecture.
- Pragmatic application of EA frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman).
- Solid understanding of business systems (ERP, MES, CAD, PLM, QMS, etc.), cloud platforms, distributed systems, integration frameworks, and modern application design.
- Strong understanding of AI/ML, data architectures, and modern security frameworks.
- Consistent track record to lead and realize large-scale transformation or modernization initiatives with measurable outcomes.
- Outstanding communication, facilitation, and collaborator leadership skills across corporate and technological audiences.
- Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid architectures.
- Exposure to product-centric operating models, focused build approaches, and platform engineering.
- Experience in regulated government or global enterprise environments.
- Experience in manufacturing environments and processes.
- Familiar with Lean manufacturing processes.
