We believe in the power of play to bring people together and create lasting memories. Our team members share a passion for innovation, storytelling, and creating joy for fans of all ages. The Lead Enterprise Architect is a senior leadership role that provides enterprise-wide architectural direction and guides cross-domain technology decisions. The role sets and governs enterprise architecture standards and guides major cross-domain technology investment decisions in partnership with architecture, engineering, and business leaders, focusing on architectural direction, alignment, and trade-offs rather than hands-on solution design or implementation. This role works in close partnership with domain architects and engineering leaders, setting architectural guardrails and decision frameworks that teams use to design and implement solutions, while maintaining enterprise-wide coherence. As technology initiatives span multiple platforms and domains, architectural decisions increasingly require enterprise-level trade-offs. This role exists to guide those decisions early, establish clear decision practices, and ensure technology investments align to a coherent long-term direction.
