Principal Enterprise Architect, Strategic Initiatives - ERP Program

Description

The Principal Enterprise Architect Strategic Initiatives is the architecture owner for the companys largest multi-year business transformation programs starting with the cloud ERP program replacing legacy ERP and boundary systems region by region in waves. The role owns the end-to-end architecture of the initiative: the target state the integration and data architecture that connects the ERP core to warehouse transportation labeling plant master data and finance systems and the current-state architecture of every release and wave. It is the architecture voice in the programs steering and design forums and the counterpart to the system integrators. The role is hands-on: it keeps the architecture current reviews designs settles cross-workstream conflicts and produces the roadmap options leadership decides on.

• Own the end-to-end architecture of the initiative: the ERP core the boundary applications (warehouse transportation labeling plant and quality master data tax banking EDI) and the integrations and data flows between them across order-to-cash source-to-pay plan-to-produce and record-to-report
• Maintain the current-state architecture for every release and wave version-controlled so that the process application and master-data changes from each deployment and retrofit are visible to the program the business and the architecture community
• Own the target state and transition architecture for the remaining waves and regions: what moves when what runs in parallel what retires and the global-template versus local-variant decisions
• Produce the roadmap options leadership decides on: sequence pause accelerate and consolidate scenarios with cost risk benefit and dependencies laid out for the steering committee
• Own integration and data-conversion architecture for the program: integration patterns between the cloud ERP and boundary systems conversion and migration approach master data flows and cut-over design within enterprise integration and data standards
• Review solution designs from internal teams and system integrators for conformance to the program architecture and enterprise standards and hold the integrators to it
• Own the non-functional architecture: performance resilience hypercare readiness and operability of the end-to-end flow and the remediation plan when a release falls short
• Connect the initiative to the enterprise: align with the Principal Portfolio and Practice Architects so the program reuses enterprise platforms and retires legacy systems rather than adding to the landscape
• Serve as the architecture member of the programs steering and design authority forums and the escalation point for cross-workstream architecture conflicts
• Build the bench: transfer program architecture knowledge to Solution & Domain Architects so the initiative never again depends on one person
