  • Cross-Domain Leadership: Provide technical and strategic direction to solution architects, domain architects (Applications, Integrations, Automations, Cloud, AI, Data, Security, Infrastructure), and delivery teams on complex, cross-functional programs.

  • Stakeholder Alignment: Collaborate with senior leaders, and ITLT (IT Leadership Team) members, and business Ops leaders to articulate the value of architecture and align technology investment decisions with organizational priorities.
  • Communication: Clearly articulate and present complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Mentorship: Mentor and coach other federated architects and technical staff on best practices, strategic thinking, and the application of architectural standards.
