Leads solution architecture across complex initiatives through requirements analysis, architectural leadership, and oversight of architecture outcomes across delivery phases.
Designs solution architectures for large or complex programs—including application, integration, data, and platform designs—in alignment with enterprise strategies, standards, and target-state roadmaps.
Develops and governs architecture patterns for APIs/integration, event/messaging, security, resiliency, and cloud adoption; ensures reuse and consistency across the portfolio.
Defines data architecture guidance (logical and physical models, canonical data structures, data domains, master/reference data, and lifecycle approaches) to support operational and analytical use cases.
Provides architectural leadership for data platforms and ecosystems, such as data warehousing, data lakes/lakehouses, analytical platforms, streaming architectures, and cloud-native data services.
Establishes best practices for data modeling, data integration, data quality, metadata management, lineage, and retention—ensuring data is reliable, well-governed, and fit for downstream analytics and automation.
Partners with business, product, engineering, and analytics teams to ensure architectures support reporting, regulatory, operational, and advanced analytics needs, including developing reference architectures and reusable patterns.
Advises delivery teams on architectural tradeoffs, solution options, platform capabilities, and engineering practices; supports alignment on implementation approaches and technical standards.
Ensures non-functional requirements are addressed (scalability, performance, resiliency, observability, maintainability, security, privacy, and regulatory compliance), and applies appropriate architectural tactics to meet them.
Aligns architecture with risk, governance, and control partners, ensuring solutions comply with enterprise security, privacy, data governance, and regulatory expectations.
Communicates effectively with stakeholders to analyze business requirements, data needs, and processes; produces architecture recommendations that align business strategy with technology capabilities.
Drives enterprise systems thinking, maintaining a broad understanding of application, infrastructure, integration, and data architectures and how they collectively enable business capabilities.
Explores emerging technologies (e.g., cloud-native services, modern integration approaches, data/analytics platforms, and AI-enabled capabilities) and develops pragmatic viewpoints on where they create value and where they introduce risk.

Requirements

Significant experience in solution architecture across application, integration, platform, and data domains in large-scale enterprise environments.
Strong understanding of business architecture concepts, business capability mapping, and aligning technology solutions to business outcomes.
Demonstrated ability to produce and govern architecture artifacts such as:
o target-state architectures and roadmaps
o solution designs and integration patterns
o reference architectures and reusable standards
o decision records and risk/controls alignment documentation
Strong knowledge of integration patterns (API-led connectivity, event-driven architecture, messaging, batch/file transfer where needed), and platform considerations for scalability and resiliency.
Solid understanding of data architecture and data management practices (modeling, data quality, lineage, metadata, retention, and governance).
Working knowledge of cloud architectures and cloud-native services, including security and operational considerations.
Strong consulting, communication, and stakeholder management skills; ability to drive alignment across diverse teams and leadership levels.
Strategic mindset paired with delivery pragmatism—able to shape direction while supporting execution.
