Job description

Group Chief Enterprise Architect

The Chief Enterprise Architect is responsible for establishing, leading, and institutionalizing the Enterprise Architecture practice across AlGihaz Group Holding and its subsidiaries. This is a Group-level leadership role, accountable for ensuring that business strategy, operating model transformation, enterprise platforms, data, integrations, cybersecurity, and digital initiatives are shaped into one coherent enterprise architecture. The role exists to prevent fragmented technology decisions, duplicated systems, disconnected data structures, uncontrolled low-code expansion, and local optimization at the expense of Group-wide value. The Chief Enterprise Architect must turn Enterprise Architecture into a practical management discipline that improves decision quality, reduces complexity, strengthens standardization, and accelerates enterprise reinvention.

This is not a documentation role and not a pure solution architecture role. It is a senior leadership position responsible for architecture governance, enterprise design authority, cross-platform alignment, and long-term enterprise integrity across a complex, project-driven, multi-entity organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and lead the Group Enterprise Architecture charter, scope, methods, operating model, and management rhythm.
• Establish architecture as a trusted enterprise function that supports strategy, transformation, and delivery decision-making.
• Create a clear architecture model covering business, applications, data, integration, technology, and security alignment.
• Build and lead a high-caliber architecture team and operating framework suitable for a multi-entity group.
• Provide enterprise-level architectural oversight across Oracle Fusion and adjacent enterprise platforms.
• Ensure architecture integrity across Finance, Procurement, Projects, integrations, reporting, data, and platform interlocks.
• Drive application rationalization and modernization across fragmented legacy and point solutions.
• Define architecture guardrails for low-code and no-code platforms such as DronaHQ.
• Work closely with the CISO to ensure architecture decisions align with enterprise security and resilience requirements.
• Support enterprise reinvention, integrated project management, manufacturing excellence, and business model transformation through architecture leadership.

Requirements

• Bachelor?s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• Master?s degree in Business, Technology, Architecture, or related field preferred.
• Recognized architecture certification strongly preferred, such as TOGAF.
• Additional qualifications in business architecture, data, cloud, cybersecurity, or transformation are advantageous.
• 18+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, enterprise technology leadership, or large-scale transformation architecture roles.
• Proven leadership in building or running an Enterprise Architecture function in a large, complex organization.
• Strong experience in multi-entity, diversified, or group structures with federated or hybrid operating models.
• Demonstrated experience in Oracle-centered enterprise environments.

Work Arrangements

• Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
• Type: Full-Time
