What are the responsibilities and job description for the Enterprise Architect position at Jobs via Dice?
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client is seeking experienced Enterprise Architects who can serve as strategic partners to the business while helping shape the future of enterprise technology across a large-scale, highly regulated environment.
Summary:
This is not a traditional hands-on architecture role focused solely on technology delivery. The Enterprise Architect will operate as a trusted advisor and business liaison, partnering closely with executives, business leaders, product teams, and technology organizations to align business strategy with technology enablement. The ideal candidate brings both deep technical breadth and the ability to influence, communicate, and lead across complex organizational environments.
The Enterprise Architecture organization sits at the center of innovation for the enterprise and plays a critical role in modernizing application portfolios, improving engineering practices, simplifying technology landscapes, and driving scalable digital solutions. This team is responsible for helping the organization navigate change, reduce complexity, and deliver customer-centric capabilities that support long-term strategic objectives.
Enterprise Architects are aligned to specific business capabilities and business segments, including areas such as consumer banking, small business and channel management, corporate and investment banking, compliance and legal, product fulfillment, trading, treasury, and customer-focused digital services.
This role requires someone who can move fluidly between business strategy and technical architecture - someone who understands enterprise systems, architectural patterns, governance, risk, and modern technology platforms, while also being able to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders and executives.
REQUIREMENTS:
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
Kforce is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran status, or disability status.
