## About the Role

The team is looking for a highly experienced Enterprise Architect who is committed to remaining in an EA role., 8-10+ years of Enterprise Architecture experience
Experience participating in Architecture Review Boards (ARBs)
Broad enterprise architecture expertise across technologies and business functions
Working knowledge of AI and experience supporting AI-related initiatives
Strong academic credentials
The communication skills and executive presence to work effectively with Business Relationship Managers and other senior stakeholders
A consultative, service-oriented mindset
This is not an AI-only role. The architect will be assigned to AI initiatives but must be capable of managing the full breadth of Enterprise Architecture responsibilities.
Candidates do not need to have come up through a development background; dedicated and well-rounded EA experience is preferred.
LeanIX experience is not required.
Avoid candidates whose experience is primarily solution architecture, software development, or AI engineering without substantial enterprise-level architecture ownership.

## Description

The FY27 vision is to establish a clear charter of Enterprise Architecture services that begins at the earliest stages of the SDLC. Enterprise Architects should be engaged from the outset, helping shape direction and prevent teams from having to piece together solutions or retrofit architectural guidance later.
The leader has a servant's heart and wants the team's culture to reflect that same service-oriented mindset. The right candidate will view Architecture as a strategic partner to the business, not simply a governance or approval function.
