Job summary

Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions seeks a strategic, hands-on Director of Enterprise Architecture to set and execute the architectural vision across Arrow's global IT estate.

The role leads a hub-and-spoke EA model, guiding standards and translating them into delivery through domain/BU architects. You will drive ERP/CRM consolidation, cloud and data architectures, and portfolio governance to optimize technology spend.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of IT experience with 5+ years leading Enterprise Architecture at a large, multi-business-unit enterprise.
• Proven track record running an application rationalization program with measurable portfolio reduction.
• Hands-on experience with ERP and/or CRM consolidation at scale - Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, or comparable.
• Deep fluency across cloud (Azure/AWS), integration (API, iPaaS, event streaming), and data architecture.
• Proven ability to build and lead distributed EA teams (US + international); experience working across time zones in a global IT org.
• Track record influencing C-suite stakeholders and presenting architectural trade-offs in business terms.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.

Responsibilities

• Set the architectural North Star. Own Arrow's enterprise-wide reference architecture spanning applications, data, integration, and platforms - aligned to Global Components, ECS, ArrowSphere, and corporate functions.
• Operate the hub-and-spoke model. Lead the central EA team and shape dotted-line accountability with domain/BU architects across Global Components, ECS, ArrowSphere, and shared services.
• Lead application rationalization. Inventory the application portfolio, score each on business value / cost / risk, and drive a credible 15-20% reduction in the maintained app count over the next benchmarking cycle.
• Drive Oracle modernization and ERP/CRM consolidation. Partner with the BUs to define our ERP and CRM strategy.
• Govern major investments. Chair the Architecture Review Board; ensure new initiatives fit a coherent target state, not a collection of point solutions.
• Publish capability maps and roadmaps. Maintain authoritative business capability maps, target architectures, and technology roadmaps that leadership uses to make investment decisions.
• Build the practice. Lead and grow a team of enterprise, solution, and domain architects; raise the bar on architectural artifacts (capability models, technology standards, integration patterns, reference designs).
• Inform the next benchmark. Quantify architectural impact (apps retired, platforms consolidated, technical debt burned down) in terms that show up in next year's ITFM submission.
