As Enterprise Architect You Will

• Play a key role in the strategic planning on domain, product line and product level by establishing a technology and information strategy and roadmap that enables a portfolio to support current and future business capabilities connecting the business and IT strategy
• You are a Lean Portfolio Governance member and provide inputs to portfolio prioritization decisions
• You drive the design, engineering, reuse of applications or patterns, which includes the creation of Enabler Epics for the architectures that comprise the solutions in a portfolio; ensuring a continuous flow of value and improving the time to market
• You have a focus on reusable technology and information to maintain the architectural runway leveraging a composable architecture (i.e. creating reliable easy to compose and consume components)
• You drive the continuous improvement of the quality of products within your domain, the research and examination of new technologies including the feasibility assessment that provide insights on the scalability and cross domain usage
• You support the development of lean business cases and monitor the domain, product line and products for new demands;
• Put a strong focus on the enabling the flow and access on information and manage the information security in the domain, product line and products you are supporting in order to optimize the information and data sharing across the enterprise
• You follow a lean-agile governance approach in support of agile teams, enabling decentralized decision making to balance between intentional architecture and emergent design, promoting architecture practices such as recording architectural decisions and architectural assessments.
• You manage the evolution of the domain IT Landscape and ensure it enables the business strategies.You document and maintain the current and future / desired IT landscape in collaboration with solution architects of the domain, product line, products you are supporting
• You guide and coach implementation teams and solution architects on the technical architecture implementation activities, particularly for new and/or shared solutions
• You continuously collaborate across and among all architecture groups ) and product teams to adjust and evolve architecture guardrails (including architecture principles, reference models; patterns, decision frameworks), architecture practices and metrics (e.g. enabling flow and business outcome).
• Perform the leadership, facilitation, analysis and design tasks required to ensure that information systems are designed and evolve appropriately
