The Technical Architect provides architectural leadership and guidance in their assigned business area, aligning solution development efforts with the broader architectural vision and roadmap.

A Technical Architect’s skills and knowledge must include multiple domains (Application/Solution architecture, Technical/Infrastructure architecture, Information/Data architecture), and experience with relevant implementation technology, platforms, and tools.

As a leader, a Technical Architect is expected to influence the assigned organization and work independently with senior business and IT leaders, while acting as a mentor and role model within the development teams.

The Technical Architect is accountable for successful implementation of architecture in their assigned organization/teams, which requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work with developers of differing skill levels, and the ability to recognize, surface, and resolve architectural issues in a collaborative manner.

Other Related Responsibilities:

In coordination with the Enterprise Architecture COP, the technical Architect may be called on to analyze technology industry and market trends to determine their potential impact on the business and the enterprise architecture, which will help evolve the Enterprise Architecture Vision and Runway.
