• Produce and maintain architecture diagrams and models (e.g. layered hub-and-spoke domain-grouped or TOGAF-style views) to communicate current and target-state architecture.
• Ensure architecture documentation stays current as systems integrations and business capabilities evolve.

• Collaborate with Domain Architects (e.g. ERP/CRM Data Platform) to ensure consistency across domain-specific and enterprise-wide architecture decisions.
• Partner with business stakeholders to translate business capabilities and strategy into architecture roadmaps.
• Participate in solution architecture sessions to recommend best architectural approaches for given business requirements.
• Work with IT leadership security and compliance teams to ensure architecture decisions meet enterprise risk and control requirements.

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Information Systems Engineering or a related field or equivalent professional experience.
• 5 years of experience in enterprise architecture solution architecture or a closely related technology role.
• Working knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF BDAT) and the ability to apply them pragmatically rather than academically.
• Experience evaluating enterprise platforms vendors or technologies and producing clear decision-ready documentation.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences including governance boards and executive stakeholders.
• Experience with or strong working knowledge of EA repository/modeling tools (e.g. Ardoq LeanIX Orbus or similar).
