About the role

This role will be the foundation of an Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice focused on aligning

technology across a complex enterprise environment. You ll be the founding Enterprise Architect

standardizing how tools and services work together, starting with customer-facing ( front-of-house )

applications, then expanding to back-end domains.

What you ll do

  • Stand up a lightweight EA practice: a function that is streamlined, agile, and directly focused on

solving specific, high-priority business problems.

  • Map current/target state and publish a capability model and reference architectures (integration,

data, identity, endpoints).

  • Tame duplication and set standards / prescriptive patterns across different technology domains.
  • Align siloed IT units and practices and facilitate solution reviews that balance autonomy with

enterprise coherence.

  • Prioritize front-of-house apps for consistency and usability and sequence back-office modernization.
  • Build the EA team: identify roles, convert federated experts into a community/guild.
  • Ensure that the organization's enterprise architecture and cybersecurity strategy align with its

overall business vision and risk tolerance.

  • Partner with Marketing/CRM teams to show fluency in business processes and elevate service

experience.

  • Produce actionable roadmaps with KPIs and create a capabilities document and service catalog that

guides investment.

What you ll bring

  • 15+ years in enterprise/solution architecture within large, federated orgs.
  • Proven experience starting or maturing an EA practice and driving adoption across diverse

stakeholders.

  • Hands-on with different technology domains - collaboration stacks, endpoint management

platforms, integration/API platforms, data flows, identity access management, infrastructure, etc.

  • Strong communicator and facilitator; comfortable translating strategy into prescriptive guardrails

and patterns.

  • Familiarity with capability mapping and pragmatic use of frameworks (e.g., TOGAF) without over-

engineering.

  • Nice to have: exposure to advanced computing, CRM/marketing tech, and GRC (Governance, Risk

and Compliance) in Public Sector.
