About The Position

The Enterprise Architect is a senior technology leader responsible for defining, governing, and realizing enterprise architecture across Business, Data, Application, and Technology/Platform domains. The role translates strategic business objectives into cohesive, implementable architectures that are secure, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective. The Enterprise Architect collaborates with business and process leaders and technical teams to deliver measurable outcomes, using AI to improve architectural analysis, decision-making, and execution efficiency while supporting responsible and compliant AI adoption.

The role establishes architectural direction, standards, roadmaps, and governance; guides implementation and modernization; and advises senior leadership on platform strategy and enterprise capability evolution. It also mentors architects, engineers, analysts, and product leaders and fosters transparency, shared problem-solving, and continuous improvement. This is a remote role with 20% expected travel.

• 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in enterprise, solution, data, application, or platform architecture.
• Pragmatic application of enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or Zachman.
• Solid understanding of business systems such as ERP, MES, CAD, PLM, and QMS; cloud platforms; distributed systems; integration frameworks; and modern application design.
• Strong understanding of AI/ML, data architectures, and modern security frameworks.
• Consistent track record leading and realizing large-scale transformation or modernization initiatives with measurable outcomes.
• Outstanding communication, facilitation, and collaborative leadership skills across corporate and technical audiences.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree.
• 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.
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

• Define, maintain, and communicate capability maps, value streams, process models, and organizational impact assessments.
• Align architecture plans with business outcomes, benefits, and key metrics, maintaining traceability from strategy to delivery.
• Establish enterprise data principles, domain models, integration patterns, governance frameworks, and data quality standards.
• Architect data platforms for analytics, AI and machine learning, and real-time decisioning, including streaming and event processing.
• Define data ownership, stewardship, lineage, privacy, and security practices with data leaders and compliance teams.
• Ensure data designs support responsible AI, including model governance, bias monitoring, explainability, and auditability.
• 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.
• Create blueprints for platforms, solutions, infrastructure, integration layers, and cloud environments.
• Ensure architecture patterns support DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code, observability, automation, resilience, and security by design.
• Lead platform and vendor evaluations based on principles, requirements, total cost of ownership, and business value.
• 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-versus-buy decisions, risk trade-offs, and technical debt management.
• Embed zero-trust, security-by-design, and regulatory requirements into architecture patterns.
• Conduct threat modeling and resilience planning; define continuity, disaster recovery, reliability, and supply-chain security strategies.
• Build roadmaps using current and target models informed by impact and gap analysis.
• Translate roadmaps into actionable implementation plans and epics with clear acceptance criteria and measurable business value.
• Rationalize the application portfolio, eliminate redundancies, reduce technical debt, and lead modernization and migration paths.
• Use AI tools to model dependencies, identify risks, estimate impact, optimize designs, and support architectural telemetry and pattern detection.
• Use 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.
• 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 without sacrificing throughput.
• Validate post-implementation outcomes for design intent, security and compliance, and time-to-value realization.
• Champion methods, tools, and architectures that continuously reduce time to market.
• Advise senior leadership on modernization, platform strategy, and enterprise capability evolution.
• Mentor architects, engineers, analysts, and product leaders to improve architectural maturity and delivery excellence.
• Unify teams and drive effective decision-making through influence; foster transparency, shared problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
