• Leads the architecture of a portfolio of products for the Prevention division (i.e. occupational health and safety) that factors technology investments and risks, while also eliminating unnecessary complexities and inefficiencies across the portfolio.

• Contributes to IT's technology governance by ensuring that the use of information and technology generate business value, while mitigating any risks that might arise from selected technology solutions.
• Collaborates frequently to anchor and embed system design, by supporting product owners and subject matter experts in decision making, as well as guiding delivery teams in design-related disciplines and practices that foster an open exchange of ideas.

Requirements:

• 9 to 12 years of directly-related experience, with a minimum of 6 years of experience in a role requiring the definition of business application portfolios and/or the design of large-scale enterprise software systems.
