About The Position

The Enterprise Architect is a business-minded technology leader within ETS responsible for defining the enterprise technology direction that enables Manhattan’s business strategy and transformation priorities across multiple Internal departments - including Marketing, Sales, CXO, HR, R&D, and ETS.
This role works across internal business functions and ETS teams to understand strategic needs, identify enterprise technology implications, define target-state architectures, establish architectural principles and standards, and guide major technology decisions across platforms, applications, integrations, data, and infrastructure.
The Enterprise Architect should consistently ask: “How do we meet today’s business need in a way that also makes Manhattan’s technology ecosystem simpler, more reusable, and better positioned for the future?”
This is a pragmatic and technically credible role which. The Enterprise Architect is expected to actively participate in strategy, solutioning, architecture, and major transformation initiatives—not operate solely as a governance or documentation function.
