Enterprise Architect

This is the most senior technical lens on the entire enterprise — and it's pure governance, not hands-on engineering. You'll own enterprise-wide standards for IT infrastructure architecture, high availability, and resilience across a large hybrid and multi-cloud estate: assess what exists, judge what's proposed, surface what's at risk, and drive the organization to the right outcome — as a reviewing authority on the Architecture Review Board and the governance lead for mergers and acquisitions.

What you'll d

• oGovern current-state and proposed designs across backup, networking, compute/storage, cloud, and high availability — producing structured gap analyses and clear, actionable recommendation
• sSit as a reviewing authority on the Architecture Review Board; lead infrastructure due diligence for M&A and divestitures, assessing inherited environments and integration ris
• kOwn enterprise architecture standards and governance frameworks for HA, resilience, and technology lifecycle — aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, SOX, and GDP
• RTranslate deep technical assessments into executive reports, risk scorecards, and remediation roadmaps for senior leadership and governance bodie
• sPartner with infrastructure, cloud, network, security/CISO, and application teams to drive redesigns and embed governance into change and deliver
• yShape vendor and technology decisions from a standards and risk perspectiv
