Enterprise Business Architect- Supply Chain and Manufacturing

We are the Enterprise Business Architecture (EBA) team—the enterprise’s connective foundation within Enterprise Architecture. Our mission is to eliminate fragmentation across business-architecture practices and deliver a single, authoritative view of enterprise business capabilities. By linking business strategy to technology execution, we shape and operationalize the Enterprise Business Architecture Foundation—anchored in the Enterprise Business Capability Model (EBCM), customer journeys, personas, and a modern enterprise meta-model. This foundation enables clearer investment decisions, stronger governance, and faster digital transformation. Operating at the intersection of strategy, design, and delivery, we align business vision, product direction, and technology outcomes into an end-to-end model that drives consistency, reuse, and enterprise-wide decision velocity.

We are building this foundation while delivering immediate value through high-impact use cases: enabling always-on, capability-driven delivery models; improving developer and platform experiences; and informing complex decisions such as M&A, build-versus-buy, and regulatory transformation. In close partnership with business, product, engineering, and data leaders, we establish shared taxonomies, connect customer journeys to capabilities and platforms, and embed outcome-based planning to unlock speed, trust, and measurable enterprise impact at scale.
