Responsibilities

• Build relationships across the business to understand their requirements, strategy and help them build product/platform roadmaps, demonstrate architecture leadership to translate business requirements into architecture blueprints, as well as innovative and practical design (both high and low level).
• Own the overall technology, architecture and design landscape of the product/platform from solutioning to delivery to adoption and sale phases.
• Potentially lead a team of architects in a portfolio or large product, set the overall technology and architecture direction and own its end-to-end delivery in a lead architect’s capacity, along with providing constant architecture governance and guidance.
• Solve complex problems in realms where solutions may not currently exist, necessitating the ideation and incubation of the new solutions/ways of working/technologies, technical feasibility and buy/build analysis, vendor product evaluations, proof of concepts (with hands-on) and presenting various options to the business with appropriate recommendations.
• Work very closely with multi-disciplinary teams (e.g. engineering, platform, infosec) to deliver the envisioned architectures and design using optimized delivery approaches, in compliance to enterprise standards, practices, policies and guidelines.
• Provide leadership in product delivery to build and consume reusable functional and technical assets. Identify, define and implement the reusable assets and standards.
