Duties and Responsibilities

The Enterprise Architect II is a senior-level role that involves leading IT architecture's strategic design and governance across technology platforms. This role defines and drives technology roadmaps, influences enterprise strategy, and fosters innovation. In this role, behavioral skills such as leadership, decision-making, and strategic thinking are critical to success.

Enterprise Platform Architects are specialists within our Technology Enablement Platform, focusing on technology-driven domains. As domain experts, they develop standards, patterns, and decision frameworks that guide architectural and engineering practices. Their primary mission is to equip the architecture and engineering community with deep technical expertise, establish technical standards, and ensure the organization builds resilient, stable, predictable, and scalable solutions that support and enhance operational excellence.

Leadership:
  • Lead cross-functional IT teams to establish a high-performing, service-driven culture focused on architecture excellence.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level architects, driving the development of next-generation IT talent within the organization.
  • Act as a change agent, challenging the status quo to improve business performance, productivity, and innovation.
IT Solution Architecture:
  • Design enterprise-level architecture solutions that are commercially viable, scalable, and aligned with long-term business strategies.
  • Steer the overall architecture governance, ensuring solutions adhere to enterprise standards, market trends, and security compliance.
IT Architecture Target State and Roadmaps:
  • Define and manage architecture roadmaps for technology platforms, ensuring alignment with global IT strategies and enterprise goals.
  • Provide strategic input to senior leadership on IT investments and portfolio management, ensuring architecture roadmaps are fully integrated with business objectives.
Reference Architectures, Models, Standards, and Patterns
  • Define and Maintain Standards: Develop and maintain architecture standards, reference models, guidelines, and patterns relevant to your area of responsibility. Collaborate with the architecture governance team to ensure these standards remain current and aligned with organizational needs.
  • Decision Frameworks: Create decision frameworks, including use cases and decision trees, to guide the selection of appropriate patterns and standards across various scenarios.
  • Implementation Guides: Develop comprehensive implementation guides or detailed user manuals to instruct the architecture community on the correct application of standards and patterns. These guides-sometimes referred to as \"how-to\" or \"survival guides\"-serve as practical resources to support solution design and implementation.
Risk, Compliance, and Security
  • Architectural Governance: Lead the architectural governance process to ensure all solutions adhere to security, privacy, and regulatory requirements, aligning with organizational standards and best practices.
  • Risk Awareness and Mitigation: Champion a culture of risk awareness and proactive mitigation, embedding security and compliance considerations into every architecture decision.
Innovation & New Technology:
  • Stay abreast of emerging technology trends and integrate them into the IT roadmap.
  • Work with third-party vendors to align their innovation roadmaps with the organization's strategy.
Financial Management:
  • Align architectural decisions with financial budgets, ensuring that total cost of ownership (TCO) is controlled and minimized- measuring the impact of architecture decision on CapEx and Run Cost (OpEx)
  • Ensure technical debt is managed, informing the software lifecycle process including Gartner TIME and 6Rs.
Required Qualifications
  • Extensive experience in IT architecture leadership, strategy development, and governance.
  • Strong influence and decision-making skills with proven success in guiding complex IT transformations.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or related fields; advanced certifications (e.g., TOGAF, ITIL) are preferred.
