Enterprise Architect

A leading infrastructure and transportation group is seeking an Enterprise Architect to serve as the design authority across three core pillars: Data Engineering, Application Development, and ERP (JD Edwards), as well as the integration landscape connecting them. This strategic role establishes target-state architectures, integration patterns, and governance frameworks, bridging local execution with global group IT strategy. Depth in at least one pillar with the technical breadth and curiosity to cover the rest is required. RESPONSIBILITIES Architecture & Standards: Establish target-state architectures, reference models, and design patterns across Data, AppDev, and ERP domains. Publish "golden paths" to streamline delivery. Integration & Governance: Define integration strategy (APIs, event-driven/batch patterns, service buses, master data flows). Own enterprise data governance, data domains, policies, and quality standards. AI & Self-Service Governance: Design governance models for AI agents, machine consumers (identity, entitlements, auditability), and citizen-developed/low-code business solutions. Architecture Assurance & Advisory: Chair architecture reviews, lead build-vs-buy evaluations, and sequence technical debt remediation into practical roadmaps without micromanaging delivery. Influence & Alignment: Maintain technology watches to evaluate innovations, publish Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and align local standards with parent group digital functions.
