IT Business Architect
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role: "Do you enjoy partnering...". That's about the role. So we can have About the role.
- Responsibilities: The "Principal Activities and Duties" list. That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 5 years experience) plus maybe "Must have experience with:" and "Must have intermediate familiarity with:" could be considered requirements. But we also have Skills section separate. Could split: Requirements = education + years experience; Qualifications = maybe the must have experience and intermediate familiarity? But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are separate headings allowed. We need to decide.
We have content for:
- Requirements: education, years experience.
- Qualifications: maybe the "Must have experience with:" and "Must have intermediate familiarity with:" could be qualifications.
- Skills: "Minimum skills include:" list.
- Schedule: "This position is hybrid requiring in office hours." That's schedule info.
- Benefits: none.
- Pay: none.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from the posting within those sections.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting ends with risk management paragraph. That's substantive? It's about risk management responsibilities. Should we include that? It's part of duties maybe. It's not boilerplate; it's a specific responsibility. So we should include it under Responsibilities.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat same content.
Let's extract content.
First paragraph: "Do you enjoy partnering with business and IT leaders to evaluate technology options, and develop practical recommendations for strategic investments? If so, this is the position for you! This role blends business architecture, business analysis, and IT architecture practices to help the Bank develop decision-ready business cases, perform technology due diligence, evaluate costs, benefits, risks, dependencies, and implementation considerations, and support informed decision-making before significant technology commitments are made. The IT Business Architect turns complex business and technology needs into clear recommendations, investment rationale, due diligence outcomes, and visual decision aids that help leaders understand options, compare tradeoffs, and move forward with confidence. This position is hybrid requiring in office hours."
We can put that in About the role (maybe also schedule line). But schedule line is separate: "This position is hybrid requiring in office hours." Could be placed in Schedule section. However About the role could include the rest, and schedule line moved to Schedule.
Thus About the role: first two sentences? Actually we can include all except the schedule line.
Let's split:

Schedule: "This position is hybrid requiring in office hours."
Now Responsibilities: Principal Activities and Duties list (many bullet points). We need to convert each line into
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Let's list them:
- Develop, present, and maintain comprehensive business cases for strategic business and technology investments, including multi-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses, financial modeling, cost-benefit and ROI assessments, vendor comparisons, implementation considerations, resource impacts, and value realization strategies.
- Chair the Architecture Working Group (AWG), facilitate collaborative review of proposed technology solutions, coordinate input from business, architecture, security, infrastructure, application, data, and operational stakeholders, and prepare recommendations for escalation to the Architecture Review Committee (ARC) when appropriate.
- Mature the ARC Technology Due Diligence process as part of the AWG by developing, documenting, maintaining, and continuously improving intake, assessment, scoring, decisioning, exception, and approval processes that support consistent and transparent evaluation of technology initiatives.
- Develop, document, maintain, and improve repeatable business architecture, business analysis, and solution review processes, templates, artifacts, and standards that help IT practitioners consistently evaluate business needs, technology options, implementation impacts, and alignment to enterprise architecture expectations.
- Serve as a liaison between business units and Information Technology by translating business needs, process challenges, capability gaps, and technology opportunities into clear problem statements, requirements, solution options, target-state recommendations, and decision-ready materials.
- Assist IT practitioners by creating, contributing to, and improving architecture diagrams, integration views, data-flow diagrams, capability maps, process diagrams, and technology dependency diagrams that clarify system relationships, support solution design, and inform governance reviews.
- Partner with business, application, infrastructure, security, data, and analytics stakeholders to identify key data entities, data ownership considerations, authoritative sources, integration points, reporting needs, data quality concerns, and downstream impacts associated with proposed solutions.
- Develop and review conceptual data models, data-flow diagrams, integration views, information lifecycle considerations, and high-level data architecture artifacts that support technology due diligence, solution evaluation, implementation planning, and architecture governance decisions.
- Apply business architecture, business analysis, and solution architecture practices to evaluate proposed solutions for strategic alignment, business value, operational impact, implementation readiness, technology fit, dependencies, and contribution to organizational maturity.
- Bridge business and IT perspectives during planning, discovery, technology due diligence, and delivery discussions by helping stakeholders understand tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, costs, benefits, operational impacts, and decision points before significant technology commitments are made.
- Evaluate proposed technology initiatives for data architecture alignment, including data reuse, data movement, system-of-record considerations, data protection needs, regulatory or risk considerations, reporting dependencies, and opportunities to reduce data duplication or unnecessary complexity.
- Contribute to IT governance through the ARC Technology Due Diligence process by ensuring technology recommendations are well documented, appropriately reviewed, aligned to architecture standards, and supported by clear business rationale.
- All employees have the responsibility and the accountability to serve as risk managers for their businesses by understanding, reporting, responding to, managing, and monitoring the risk they encounter daily as required by Dollar Bank’s risk management program. Compliance with regulatory laws and company procedures is a required component of all position descriptions.
