  • Establish and govern the enterprise Build vs. Buy framework, providing rigorous Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), business alignment, scalability, risk, and vendor viability analyses.
  • Conduct architectural risk assessments and technical due diligence on third-party integrations and enterprise software investments.
  • Establish and chair/co-chair the Enterprise Architecture Review Board, setting architectural principles, standards, and compliance gates across Enterprise IT.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Certified knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or Zachman.
