Senior Solutions Architect

We have an opportunity for a Senior Solutions Architect to join our Solutions Architecture team in the United States, reporting to the Senior Director - Enterprise Architect. The Senior Solutions Architect owns the overall architecture for a set of projects and business capabilities and translates strategy, requirements, and constraints into coherent solution designs that span enterprise applications, AI, data and integration, cloud, infrastructure, identity and security. This role ensures solutions are fit for purpose, aligned to target state, and governed from concept through delivery and conformance. The role requires strong technical depth across Enterprise IT platforms and architecture patterns, but it is not a primary software engineering role.

Be a Contributor - What You'll Do

• Lead the design and strategy of project, capability, platform, and solution architecture across front-office, middle-office, and/or back-office functions, supporting initiatives and projects from early planning through design and delivery
• Build an end-to-end capability-centric technology landscape to connect capability models, value-streams, processes, and domain architectures into a cohesive architecture stack in both current and various target state formulations
• Develop contextual, conceptual, component, and physical architecture views that place the solution in both business and technical context ensuring appropriate functional and non-functional requirement coverage as well as orienting the implementation scope and approach and account for strategy, risks, issues, and urgent constraints that affect delivery decisions
• Develop and maintain capability-level roadmaps that sequence platform, solution, and architectural evolution in alignment with business priorities, dependencies, and target-state outcomes
• Own and evolve the standards and patterns library across architecture domains (AI, integration, data, infrastructure) and non-functional control requirements (security, compliance, regulatory, etc.). Partner with the architecture community to develop these standards and patterns and maintain them over time
• Support architecture governance through high-level design reviews, design conformance, decision management, risk identification, and exception handling
• Identify opportunities for reuse, simplification, modularity, automation, and zero-touch experiences within and across capabilities, applications and technologies
• Build effective partnerships across business, product, engineering, platform, security, data, and delivery teams to drive aligned solution outcomes
• Communicate architectural direction, tradeoffs, dependencies, and risks clearly across executive, leadership, delivery, and technical stakeholders
• Demonstrate strong executive functioning through roadmap management, issue resolution, design coordination, and disciplined follow-through across initiatives
• Maintain strong technical expertise across architecture patterns, integration approaches, platform considerations, and non-functional design requirements

Be Prepared - What You Bring

• 10 or above years of experience in solutions architecture, sales engineering, consulting, network engineering, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, or a related technical
