Responsibilities
Build, mature, and formalize the business architecture practice, ensuring every initiative is aligned to a clear roadmap
Assess internal capabilities to determine whether proposed gaps truly require new solutions or can be fulfilled by existing technologies
Prevent redundant technology purchases by identifying overlap and promoting the reuse of internal solutions
Shift the current workflow—business ? procurement ? IT—to a model where IT is engaged earlier in the process
Add structure and “spot gaps” to ensure initiatives do not bypass essential architectural tollgates
Persuasively communicate to lines of business how they should now engage with IT, and why this new model protects them, accelerates execution, and reduces rework
Act as a partner—not a blocker—by shaping solutions in terms of “how we can do this”, not “why we can’t.”
Build business trust by translating between business needs and IT capabilities with strong business acumen
Help stand up the broader business architecture organization
Contribute to meeting organizational OKRs, including reducing net-new technology purchases by ensuring proper architecture evaluation
Assist in defining what “good” looks like for a fully built business architecture practice, including processes, engagement models, and tollgates
Work closely with business stakeholders, procurement, operations, IT leadership, and architecture teams to redesign interaction models

Experience working in organizations where IT is evolving from reactive to strategic
Comfort navigating cultural and operational challenges, especially when shifting long-standing engagement patterns
Preferred
