Director IT – Enterprise Data Architecture & Integration

About the role

We are working with an established national accounting, tax, and advisory organization with a growing technology environment supporting teams across multiple offices. The firm is continuing to modernize how data moves across the organization and is looking for a senior technical leader who can take ownership of enterprise data architecture, integration strategy, and development standards. This is not a pure people-management position. The person coming into this role will serve as a true player-coach, setting architectural direction while remaining close enough to the technology to guide design decisions, solve difficult integration problems, and mentor a distributed development team.

• Opportunity to influence long-term technology architecture and platform decisions
• Lead and mentor a distributed development and automation team
• Modernize integration architecture across APIs, workflows, data pipelines, and enterprise applications

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the enterprise data architecture strategy across data models, data flows, storage platforms, integrations, and enterprise applications
• Develop a long-term data architecture roadmap aligned with business and technology priorities
• Design and oversee ETL/ELT pipelines, real-time integrations, APIs, and system-to-system connectivity
• Establish standards around data modeling, data lifecycle management, governance, quality, lineage, security, and access
• Define enterprise integration patterns using REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, event-driven architecture, and related technologies
• Lead automation initiatives using technologies such as Power Automate, Power Apps, Azure Logic Apps, Python, and PowerShell
• Own and continue maturing the firm's Software Development Lifecycle, including testing, documentation, source control, CI/CD, branching, deployment, and release practices
• Lead and mentor a distributed team of developers while serving as the senior technical escalation point for complex architecture and integration challenges

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience across enterprise data architecture, software development, data engineering, or systems integration
• Demonstrated experience designing enterprise-scale data architecture and integration solutions

• Hands-on knowledge of API and integration technologies including REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and webhooks
• Strong understanding of software development practices, SDLC frameworks, GitHub, CI/CD, automated testing, and release management
• Experience with Microsoft/Azure-oriented technologies such as Power Apps, Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, PowerShell, or Microsoft Fabric strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of Python, JSON, Node.js, or comparable development technologies
• Understanding of enterprise data governance, security, lineage, quality, and regulatory considerations
