What You'll Do

Business outcomes and capability architecture

• Develop and maintain business capability maps, taxonomies, and value streams in partnership with business leaders
• Translate business strategies, operating priorities and measurable outcomes into capability implications and architecture requirements
• Assess capability maturity, strategic importance, differentiation, pain points, duplication, and investment needs using common EA CoE methods
• Connect business outcomes and value streams to information, applications, integrations, technology platforms, and organizational dependencies
• Create concise, decision-ready views that make cost, risk, complexity, opportunity, and trade-offs understandable to business and IT leaders
• Domain architecture and strategic roadmaps
• Own and maintain the domain current-state, target-state, and transition architectures at an appropriate level of detail for strategic decision-making
• Develop an actionable, multi-year domain architecture roadmap aligned with enterprise strategy, the ERP Five-Year Plan and approved investment priorities
• Define transition states, sequencing assumptions, dependencies, architecture risks, and decision points required to move from current to target state
• Provide domain capability requirements and business context to Application, Data, Integration, Technology, Security and ERP architects; collaborate on integrated enterprise roadmaps
• Maintain architecture products, decisions, dependencies, and roadmaps in the approved EA repository and refresh them when business strategy, investment priorities or the technology landscape materially changes
• Some of the above responsibilities involve working within the EA team and collaborating with other CoEs
• Domain specific knowledge and industry experience is required to streamline the collaboration with BRM and business stakeholders as needed
• Working closely with the BRMs and business stakeholders to support their strategic technology needs

Investment shaping and portfolio transparency

• Provide architecture point of view (PoV) for material investments before solution or vendor commitments are made, covering target-state fit, reuse, duplication, options, dependencies, lifecycle risk, technical debt, and total-cost drivers
• Partner with BRM during demand shaping: BRM owns demand, sponsorship, value case, and outcome continuity; the Domain EA owns architectural fit, options and enterprise coherence
• Support/Partner with Portfolio and Finance to make capability gaps, architecture dependencies, lifecycle exposure and investment trade-offs visible; Portfolio and Finance retain prioritization, funding and financial-validation authority
• Identify opportunities to reuse, consolidate, modernize or retire capabilities and applications, and route recommendations to the accountable business, product, platform and portfolio owners
• Maintain a domain view of architecture-related technical debt and exceptions, including business impact, accountable owner, remediation path and review date

Architecture governance and assurance

• Apply enterprise principles, standards, reference architectures and approved patterns through early, risk-based engagement
• Determine whether proposed changes conform to the approved domain target state within delegated authority; recommend material exceptions and unresolved cross-domain decisions to the EA Design Authority or Architecture Review Board
• Document architecture decisions, conditions, risks, exceptions and expiry or review dates in the approved system of record
• Provide architecture assurance at agreed lifecycle points and verify that material decisions and conditions are reflected in solution designs and delivery evidence
• Use pre-approved patterns, proportionate review and governance by exception to improve decision speed without weakening enterprise accountability
• Collaboration, influence and EA practice development
• Serve as a trusted architecture advisor to senior business and IT leaders, framing options and recommendations in terms of outcomes, cost, risk, resilience, speed and value
• Facilitate cross-functional decisions and
