Executive Director, Data Architecture

We are seeking a Sr.Leader (Architect) to work across delivery pods within a segment, partnering closely with segment technology leads, senior engineers, and product teams to ensure systems are designed and built correctly.

This is a hands-on architecture and engineering role, not a governance or review-only position. The role exists to ensure architectural decisions are grounded in real implementation constraints, carried through into code, and result in systems that perform reliably in production.

You will work, day to day with delivery pods to shape designs, review and write code where needed, and resolve complex technical issues. You will be involved early in design discussions and remain engaged through build, release, and production operation.

You will step in on complex integrations, performance issues, failures, and incidents, helping teams stabilize systems and improve them based on real production behavior.

You will operate across multiple pods within a segment, influencing design and delivery through hands-on contribution, technical review, and earned credibility rather than formal authority., At S&P Global, we are committed to fostering a connected and engaged workplace where all individuals have access to opportunities based on their skills, experience, and contributions. Our hiring practices emphasize fairness, transparency, and merit, ensuring that we attract and retain top talent. By valuing different perspectives and promoting a culture of respect and collaboration, we drive innovation and power global markets.
