• Evaluate vendor SaaS and company-managed cloud deployment options, including security, resiliency, integration, observability, support, and operational readiness impacts.
• Review end-to-end solution architecture and vendor or SI deliverables across application, data, integration, infrastructure, security, deployment, and operations.
• Guide integration design by reviewing interfaces, APIs, events, messaging, dependencies, secure data exchange, and edge-system readiness requirements.
• Guide data design by reviewing data models, source-to-target mappings, canonical structures, data ownership, and downstream dependencies.
• Lead architecture governance, design reviews, approvals, exception handling, and documentation.
• Partner with security, infrastructure, application, data, operations, and business teams to resolve cross-domain architecture decisions.
• Negotiate with vendors and the SI on technology solutions, integration standards, deliverables, and design quality.
• Advise program leadership on architecture risks, tradeoffs, investment priorities, and emerging technologies.
