  • Drive innovation by advising clients on the adoption of emerging technologies such as AI / ML, cloud computing, IoT, and blockchain.
  • Evaluate and select appropriate technologies, platforms, and tools that meet clients’ business needs while fostering innovation and efficiency.
  • Ensure architectural designs are secure, scalable, and resilient, while also taking into account cost‑effectiveness.
  • Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead and mentor a high‑performing team of architects, consultants, and technical specialists, fostering a collaborative and results‑driven environment.
  • Provide leadership in developing architecture competency within the team, enabling them to deliver quality solutions.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, external vendors, and partners to ensure smooth delivery of architecture projects.
  • Project Management & Delivery

  • Oversee multiple architecture projects simultaneously, ensuring successful execution within time, budget, and scope.
  • Manage project risks and ensure the architecture aligns with both business requirements and IT capabilities.
  • Provide oversight during system development, implementation, and post‑deployment to ensure solutions are sustainable and meet client expectations.
  • Business Development & Growth

  • Actively participate in business development efforts, including leading architecture‑related proposals, RFP responses, and sales presentations.
  • Identify opportunities to deepen relationships with existing clients and expand service offerings to meet their evolving needs.
  • Lead go‑to‑market initiatives for enterprise architecture services, contributing to practice development and thought leadership.
  • Thought Leadership & Industry Influence

  • Serve as a key influencer in the market through public speaking engagements, whitepapers, and publications on enterprise architecture and emerging technologies.
  • Participate in industry forums and networks to stay at the forefront of architectural trends and thought leadership.
  • Contribute to the development of innovative methodologies, frameworks, and tools for enterprise architecture services within the firm.
  • What You’ll Bring

  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), digital ecosystems, data architectures, and cybersecurity frameworks.
  • Excellent client‑facing and leadership skills, with a strong track record of managing executive‑level relationships.
  • Demonstrated success in leading cross‑functional teams and managing large‑scale transformation initiatives.
  • Certifications in enterprise architecture or cloud platforms are a plus (e.g., TOGAF, AWS Solutions Architect).
