Duration: Fulltime

Position Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced Lead Business Architect to lead business transformation, workflow modernization, and AI-enabled operational improvement initiatives. This is a senior, hands-on role requiring the ability to bridge business strategy, technology, and operational execution while working with business leaders, technical teams, product teams, and cross-functional stakeholders.
The ideal candidate combines deep Business Architecture and transformation experience with practical expertise in AI, Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) platforms, workflow design, prototyping, data architecture, and enterprise technology. This individual should be comfortable moving between strategic leadership and hands-on solution design, simplifying complex business problems and translating them into scalable, technology-enabled solutions.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead Business Architecture and business process transformation initiatives, including development of future-state operating models and workflows.
  • Assess current business processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, automation opportunities, and opportunities for end-to-end optimization.
  • Lead discovery sessions with business stakeholders and translate business needs into scalable workflow designs, prototypes, and actionable technology roadmaps.
  • Use AI and emerging technologies to accelerate discovery, streamline operations, automate manual activities, and improve decision-making.
  • Develop and refine journey maps, microjourneys, business blueprints, and workflow prototypes using LCNC platforms.
  • Conduct hands-on configuration and prototyping on LCNC/COTS platforms to demonstrate and validate proposed solutions.
  • Partner with business SMEs to transfer knowledge and enable greater ownership of business processes, workflow configuration, reusable components, and business architecture.
  • Establish and promote standardized, reusable, and scalable business capabilities across business domains.
  • Collaborate with engineers, product teams, IT leadership, executives, and other stakeholders to translate business strategy into technical roadmaps and implementable workflow capabilities.
  • Provide strategic direction for AI-enabled and automation-driven operations.
  • Identify data, integration, and backend requirements and communicate technical-enablement needs to IT teams.
  • Promote reuse, cost-benefit analysis, risk-based decision-making, and appropriate standardization versus customization.
  • Provide senior-level troubleshooting, gap analysis, and recommendations for process and operational improvement.
  • Mentor and guide other Business Architects and cross-functional team members.
  • Influence stakeholders and business leaders through strong communication, strategic thinking, and knowledge of emerging technology capabilities.
Required Qualifications
  • 15+ years of professional experience leading Business Architecture, business transformation, or comparable enterprise transformation initiatives.
  • Strong experience with AI, automation, emerging technologies, and modern approaches to business process optimization.
  • Demonstrated experience leading business discovery sessions with real-time workflow configuration and prototyping.
  • Hands-on experience creating journey maps, microjourneys, business blueprints, and workflow prototypes using LCNC platforms rather than relying solely on traditional documentation.
  • Lead Business Architect / Business Architect certification in at least one applicable COTS/LCNC platform, with working knowledge of additional platforms. Relevant certification include:
    • Pega Certified Business Architect (PCBA)
  • Demonstrated experience leading or managing cross-functional teams and enabling business stakeholders/customers.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, influencing, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • 10+ years of experience in data engineering/design, including development of backend scripts and queries using relational databases such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Working knowledge of AWS, Pega, Salesforce, MuleSoft, and Palantir Foundry/AIP.
  • Strong understanding of software development processes, technical standards, and industry best practices.
  • Demonstrated experience in hands-on technical leadership or technical management, preferably within a consulting or contractor environment.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work within defined schedules and deadlines.
  • Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Computer Science or equivalent CS-focused bachelor's degree.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Private-sector experience with an enterprise transformation or product-oriented mindset.
  • Experience modernizing complex, legacy business processes.
  • Experience working across multiple LCNC/COTS platforms rather than being limited to a single technology.
  • Experience working across business, IT, data, and product organizations.
  • Experience implementing AI-enabled workflow automation and operational transformation.
