The Opportunity:

The Enterprise Architect will bring strong cross-domain expertise, strategic thinking, and executive presence. This is not just a governance-only role. You will BE a strategic leader, facilitator, and a diplomat—someone who can influence CXO-level stakeholders and remain deeply involved in execution. You will work across domains to lead enterprise-wide architecture decisions that prepare us for scalable data and AI modernization.

• Design and evolve enterprise-level semantic data models, including logical and conceptual models, ontologies, and domain definitions

• Partner with product, engineering, data, and AI teams to ensure data supports reporting, analytics, and AI use cases

• Provide strategic guidance on data modeling techniques (3NF, dimensional, Data Vault, RDF/OWL) and drive adoption of best practices

• Provide feedback that directly shapes the next generation of AI models

• Knowledge of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) workflows and tools for deploying, managing, and monitoring AI models in production

• Ensure scalable and interoperable semantic layers across data platforms (e.g., Lakehouse, Knowledge Graphs, Data Warehouses)

• Actively participate in design, discussions, and delivery—not just governance—with hands-on engagement

• Ensure data is structured and ready to support our AI initiatives.

• Review AI-generated code to ensure it is accurate, efficient, and high quality.

• Stay current on AI and data trends to help the organization evolve.

Compensation:
