- Risk and Compliance: Ensure all architectural designs inherently comply with regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2, SOX, FedRAMP, and industry-specific standards) and address technical risks like security vulnerabilities and scalability limitations by partnering with InfoSec, Internal Audit, Legal and Privacy teams
Design and Guidance
- Blueprint Creation: Create, document, and maintain essential architectural artifacts and models (e.g., using frameworks like TOGAF or Archimate) to provide a holistic view of the enterprise.
- Complexity Reduction: Identify and drive initiatives to rationalize the existing application portfolio, reduce technical debt, and simplify the overall IT landscape to improve agility and reduce costs.
- Cross-Domain Leadership: Provide technical and strategic direction to solution architects, domain architects (Applications, Integrations, Automations, Cloud, AI, Data, Security, Infrastructure), and delivery teams on complex, cross-functional programs.
Stakeholder Management and Communication
- Stakeholder Alignment: Collaborate with senior leaders, and ITLT (IT Leadership Team) members, and business Ops leaders to articulate the value of architecture and align technology investment decisions with organizational priorities.
- Communication: Clearly articulate and present complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Mentorship: Mentor and coach other federated architects and technical staff on best practices, strategic thinking, and the application of architectural standards.
