You will define target-state architecture and integration principles for an acquired entity, evaluate technology alignment, identify rationalization opportunities, and shape future-state operating models. This is a senior architecture and governance role - not an application-development or infrastructure-admin seat.

• Define target-state architecture and integration principles for the acquired entity.


• Evaluate current-state technology alignment against the enterprise architecture and integration strategy.


• Identify application and platform rationalization opportunities.


• Design future-state operating models spanning business, application, and integration layers.


• Establish and apply architecture governance across integration workstreams.


• Partner with technology, business, and integration stakeholders to drive architecture decisions.


• Produce clear architecture artifacts that support executive decision-making and program execution.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of enterprise architecture, technology strategy, or integration-architecture experience.


• Proven experience defining target-state architecture for complex enterprise environments.


• Hands-on experience with integration architecture across multiple systems and platforms.


• Demonstrated experience with application rationalization (assess, retain, retire, replace, or consolidate).


• Strong architecture governance experience.


• Ability to evaluate technology alignment and recommend future-state operating models.


• Excellent communication skills with technical and executive stakeholders.


• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (no sponsorship now or in the future).

Preferred Qualifications

• Healthcare, life-sciences, or other regulated-industry architecture experience.


• Prior M&A / post-acquisition integration architecture experience.


• Familiarity with TOGAF or comparable enterprise-architecture frameworks.
