- Partner with delivery leadership to:
- + Define scope and solution approach
- + Identify risks and dependencies
- + Drive key technical decisions
- Ensure all non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, availability, security) are met at enterprise level.
- Engage with senior stakeholders to align business objectives with technical strategy.
- Clearly communicate architectural vision and decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Lead technical discussions with vendors, partners, and system integrators.
- Contribute to strategic initiatives, proposals, SoWs, and transformation programs.
- Drive adoption of emerging technologies, including AI/ML, cloud-native, and data platforms.
- Promote security-by-design and best engineering practices across all solutions.
- Mentor and develop internal architecture and engineering capabilities.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in solution architecture and technical leadership roles.
- Proven experience leading architecture for large-scale, enterprise transformation programs.
- Strong balance of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery expertise.
- Deep expertise in:
- + Cloud and hybrid infrastructure architectures
- + Data platforms and advanced analytics
- + Enterprise integration patterns and APIs
- + AI/ML solutions at scale
- + Data centre and air-gapped environments
- + Security architecture and governance (security-by-design)
