HP•Spring, TX

1d•$174,050 - $278,450

About The Position

The Enterprise Technology Costing Architect owns the end-to-end enterprise technology architecture for Costing. The role translates the approved Costing business solution blueprint into an integrated, scalable, secure, and sustainable architecture spanning applications, data, integration, platforms, and downstream systems. It ensures technology decisions across SAP S/4HANA, SAP PaPM, data platforms, integration technologies, analytics, and downstream solutions form a coherent enterprise architecture. The architect protects architectural coherence, enterprise standards, reuse, scalability, and long-term technology sustainability, and provides architecture assurance from solution design through implementation, deployment, and transition to run. The role partners closely with the Costing Business Solution Architect, Enterprise Architecture, Digital teams, solution and platform architects, technology owners, and implementation partners. The position provides end-to-end technology architecture leadership throughout the Costing Transformation, challenges partner and vendor designs, evaluates alternatives and innovations, and maintains technical continuity from architecture through detailed design, build, deployment, and run. The role impacts multiple functions and influences long-term strategic direction across multiple disciplines or areas of HP, and develops new methods and techniques that affect multiple disciplines and work groups.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain the end-to-end target technology architecture and technology roadmap for Costing.
Translate the approved business solution blueprint and required business capabilities into the target technology architecture.
Define how applications, platforms, data, integrations, and downstream systems work together as an enterprise costing technology ecosystem.
Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture principles, security requirements, and technology standards.
Lead architecture reviews and technology design decisions that materially affect the end-to-end Costing architecture.
Own the target application and system architecture across the Costing technology landscape.
Determine how approved Costing capabilities should be enabled across SAP S/4HANA, SAP PaPM, analytics, data platforms, integration platforms, and supporting or downstream applications.
Drive architectural reuse and rationalization, avoiding unnecessary duplication and technology fragmentation.
Evaluate technology options for architectural fit, scalability, maintainability, reuse, and enterprise sustainability.
Assess emerging technologies, including AI and automation, where they can enable the approved Costing business solution.
Own the architecture for costing data movement, storage, integration, and consumption.
Define end-to-end integration architecture, interface patterns, and technology dependencies across ERP, Supply Chain, Product, Finance, data platforms, and downstream systems.
Ensure the architecture supports required data quality, traceability, reconciliation, and auditability.
Partner with business and data owners to ensure the technology architecture supports defined business information requirements and semantics.
Establish and apply architecture principles, standards, patterns, and technology guardrails for Costing.
Ensure solution designs comply with the approved enterprise technology architecture.
Lead or challenge decisions that alter the Costing technology architecture, integration model, platform strategy, or technical standards.
Manage architectural risks, technical debt, and architecture exceptions.
Provide architecture assurance throughout detailed design, build, testing, deployment, and transition to run.
Prevent technology decisions across SAP, PaPM, data, integration, reporting, and downstream systems from creating fragmented architecture.
Identify cross-system dependencies and architectural impacts early in solution design.
Ensure individual solution and platform designs collectively deliver the approved end-to-end business solution.
Work with Enterprise Architecture and relevant technology owners to resolve cross-domain architecture decisions.
Provide end-to-end technology architecture leadership throughout the Costing Transformation.
Challenge implementation partner and vendor designs against the approved business solution, enterprise architecture, and long-term technology strategy.
Evaluate partner-proposed solution alternatives and innovations for technical feasibility, architectural fit, enterprise reuse, scalability, and sustainability.
Ensure the company retains long-term architectural ownership rather than allowing architecture to become vendor-defined.
Maintain technical continuity from architecture through detailed solution design, build, deployment, and run.
