As a key leader within the IT organization, you will bridge the gap between business strategy and technology execution. You will evaluate emerging technologies, define architectural standards, and guide cross-functional teams through complex digital transformations. The ideal candidate is a big-picture thinker who can equally roll up their sleeves to solve complex integration challenges.
Key Responsibilities:

Business Alignment: Partner with leadership and business units to translate corporate strategy into technical requirements and long-term IT roadmaps.
Technology Evaluation: Continuously scout and evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., cloud innovations, AI/ML, automation) to drive operational efficiency and competitive advantage.
Governance & Compliance: Establish and enforce architectural standards, design patterns, and policies across all IT projects to ensure compliance, security, and minimization of technical debt.
Design, Integration, & Delivery
Cross-Domain Integration: Design complex, scalable integration solutions that seamlessly connect legacy systems with modern cloud-native architectures.
Risk & Security Management: Collaborate with information security teams to ensure the enterprise architecture inherently mitigates cybersecurity risks and complies with industry regulations.
Technical Advisory: Provide expert consultation to product managers, solution architects, and engineering teams during the design and implementation phases of major initiatives.
Vendor Management: Evaluate third-party software, platforms, and services to ensure compatibility with enterprise standards and strategic direction.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
Experience: Minimum of 8–10 years of experience in IT, with at least 3–5 years specifically in an Enterprise Architect or principal solution architect role.
Proven Track Record: Demonstrated experience leading large-scale enterprise transformations, cloud migrations (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and legacy system modernizations.
Technical Skills
Architectural Frameworks: Deep familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF, Zachman, or FEAF.
Cloud & Infrastructure: Expert knowledge of cloud-native designs, microservices architecture, APIs, containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), and hybrid cloud environments.
Data & Integration: Strong understanding of master data management (MDM), data warehousing, event-driven architecture, and modern integration patterns.
