• Partner with cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, and product teams to deliver secure, scalable solutions.
• Govern architectural decisions by reviewing and approving solution designs across initiatives.
• Integrate architecture practices with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes including build, test, validation, and deployment.
• Lead modernization programs covering legacy decommissioning, interoperability improvements, and technical debt reduction.
• Define integration patterns for identity services, device posture validation, and collaboration access management.
• Maintain architecture documentation and knowledge repositories using Confluence or similar tools.
• Embed architecture work into tracking tools like Jira through epics, stories, and tasks.

• Manage architecture exceptions with structured documentation and risk evaluation processes.
• Mentor architects and senior engineers while communicating strategy to both technical and executive stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership effectively.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Prior experience in roles such as enterprise architect, principal architect, or senior solution architect.
• Demonstrated expertise in defining enterprise architecture vision, technology frameworks, and governance structures.

Technical Expertise

End User Computing (EUC)

• Define endpoint strategies and design overall device architecture.
• Apply modern endpoint management tools and enforce device-level policies.
• Understand device trust, compliance frameworks, and identity-driven access within Zero Trust environments.

Identity & Access Management

• Hands-on experience with enterprise identity platforms, including Active Directory and modern cloud-based identity solutions.
• Strong knowledge of authentication and authorization standards like SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and directory services.
• Design identity architectures for both workforce (B2E) and customer-facing (B2C) systems.
• Expertise in identity governance, risk-based segmentation, and scalable identity frameworks.

Zero Trust Security

• Deep understanding of identity-centric security models, least privilege principles, and continuous validation.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to align architecture with enterprise-wide risk and security strategies.

Collaboration Platforms

• Manage and govern enterprise collaboration ecosystems effectively.
• Integrate collaboration tools with identity lifecycle and access management systems.
• Apply platform configuration standards, governance frameworks, and access control approaches.

Architecture Governance & Tools

• Implement architectural frameworks, maintain decision logs, and develop reference models.
• Familiarity with documentation tools such as Confluence.
• Work with task and workflow management tools like Jira.

• Align governance practices with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Relevant certifications in identity management, cybersecurity, cloud platforms, endpoint management, or enterprise architecture.
• Demonstrated experience leading architecture across large-scale global environments and multiple business domains.
• Proven track record in delivering enterprise modernization and standardization programs.
