• Lead the architecture workstream of AI Readiness Assessments, producing gap analyses and prioritized roadmaps leadership can act on.

• Establish architecture principles, standards and governance (including AI and data governance) that clients can sustain.
• Evaluate and recommend platforms (ERP, CRM, field-service, analytics, cloud) as an independent advisor, not a reseller.

• Ability to explain complex trade-offs in plain language to owners and operators.

The Enterprise Architect sets the technology direction for our clients’ operations. You will own the target-state architecture for manufacturers, logistics firms and contractors as they modernize ERP, connect operational systems and become AI-ready. You will often sit in a fractional Chief Architect seat, advising owners, executives and PE sponsors.
