- Rationalize function-level and shadow IT stacks by documenting current-state architectures, identifying overlap and risk, and proposing phased modernization roadmaps.
- Design and govern architecture patterns for regulated multi-environment operations, including commercial and future government-hosted systems.
- Establish principles for data zoning, system placement, and cross-environment interaction.
- Partner with Cloud & Infrastructure and Security & Compliance teams on infrastructure and security implications while focusing on system, data, and integration architecture.
- Define approved API, event-driven, and batch integration patterns between business systems, data platforms, and domain technologies.
- Guide decisions about the placement and interaction of sensitive, controlled, or regulated data and workloads.
- Provide architectural oversight for strategic programs such as ERP implementation, data platform modernization, domain onboarding, and product and engineering data initiatives.
- Establish architecture reviews, reference architectures, and reusable standards.
- Coach software engineering teams through design reviews, architecture forums, and hands-on guidance.
- Partner with the Senior Director of Enterprise Data & Architecture to establish and mature the enterprise architecture practice.

- Experience shaping enterprise technology landscapes across applications, data platforms, and integration patterns.
- Experience in regulated, security-sensitive, or government-adjacent environments with constraints around sensitive data handling, segmentation, and compliance.
- Experience with hybrid or multi-environment architectures, including commercial and government-hosted, cloud and on-premises, or otherwise segregated environments.
- Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns and trade-offs among APIs, eventing, batch movement, replication, and system coupling.
- Ability to work effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, security and compliance teams, and infrastructure leaders.
- Strong judgment, communication, and facilitation skills in ambiguous environments with competing priorities.

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Oracle ERP, SAP, or another major enterprise platform in finance, supply chain, manufacturing, or product-adjacent environments.
- Experience with modern cloud data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, or similar.
- Experience leading architecture rationalization or modernization across decentralized organizations.
- Experience in defense, aerospace, federal, or other highly controlled-data environments.
