Job description

One of our firm’s clients is searching for a senior technology leader to define what the organization’s technology environment should become—and build the roadmap to get there.

Reporting directly to the CIO, the Enterprise Architect will shape the firm’s end-to-end architecture strategy across cloud, infrastructure, enterprise applications, cybersecurity, data, analytics, AI, integrations, and emerging technology.

This is more than an architecture role.

It’s an opportunity to influence enterprise investment decisions, reduce technical debt, enable responsible innovation, and create a three-to-five-year transformation roadmap with lasting organizational impact.

What you’ll lead:

• Enterprise architecture strategy, standards, and governance
• Current-state, target-state, and transition architectures
• Multi-year technology and modernization roadmaps
• Cloud transformation, resiliency, and business continuity
• Application modernization, SaaS platforms, APIs, and integrations
• Enterprise data architecture, analytics, and AI enablement
• Security-by-design, Zero Trust, privacy, and compliance
• Evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies

You could be a strong fit if you bring:

• 15+ years of progressive technology and architecture leadership
• Experience leading large-scale transformation in complex enterprises
• Deep expertise spanning cloud, infrastructure, applications, cybersecurity, data, analytics, and AI
• A track record of designing target-state architectures and practical modernization roadmaps
• The judgment to balance innovation, operational needs, investment priorities, and risk
• The executive presence to advise senior leadership and influence decisions across the organization

If you can translate business strategy into a scalable, secure, and forward-looking technology vision, we’d love to connect.
