What You'll Do

• Business outcomes and capability architecture
  • Develop and maintain business capability maps, taxonomies, and value streams in partnership with business leaders.
  • Translate business strategies, operating priorities and measurable outcomes into capability implications and architecture requirements.
  • Assess capability maturity, strategic importance, differentiation, pain points, duplication, and investment needs using common EA CoE methods.
  • Connect business outcomes and value streams to information, applications, integrations, technology platforms, and organizational dependencies.
  • Create concise, decision-ready views that make cost, risk, complexity, opportunity, and trade-offs understandable to business and IT leaders.
• Domain architecture and strategic roadmaps
  • Own and maintain the domain current-state, target-state, and transition architectures at an appropriate level of detail for strategic decision-making.
  • Develop an actionable, multi-year domain architecture roadmap aligned with enterprise strategy, the ERP Five-Year Plan and approved investment priorities.
  • Define transition states, sequencing assumptions, dependencies, architecture risks, and decision points required to move from current to target state.
  • Provide domain capability requirements and business context to Application, Data, Integration, Technology, Security and ERP architects; collaborate on integrated enterprise roadmaps.
  • Maintain architecture products, decisions, dependencies, and roadmaps in the approved EA repository and refresh them when business strategy, investment priorities or the technology landscape materially changes.
• Investment shaping and portfolio transparency
  • Provide architecture point of view (PoV) for material investments before solution or vendor commitments are made, covering target-state fit, reuse, duplication, options, dependencies, lifecycle risk, technical debt, and total-cost drivers.
  • Partner with BRM during demand shaping: BRM owns demand, sponsorship, value case, and outcome continuity; the Domain EA owns architectural fit, options and enterprise coherence.
  • Support/Partner with Portfolio and Finance to make capability gaps, architecture dependencies, lifecycle exposure and investment trade-offs visible; Portfolio and Finance retain prioritization, funding and financial-validation authority.
  • Identify opportunities to reuse, consolidate, modernize or retire capabilities and applications, and route recommendations to the accountable business, product, platform and portfolio owners.
  • Maintain a domain view of architecture-related technical debt and exceptions, including business impact, accountable owner, remediation path and review date.
• Architecture governance and assurance
  • Apply enterprise principles, standards, reference architectures and approved patterns through early, risk-based engagement.
  • Determine whether proposed changes conform to the approved domain target state within delegated authority; recommend material exceptions and unresolved cross-domain decisions to the EA Design Authority or Architecture Review Board.
  • Document architecture decisions, conditions, risks, exceptions and expiry or review dates in the approved system of record.
  • Provide architecture assurance at agreed lifecycle points and verify that material decisions and conditions are reflected in solution designs and delivery evidence.
  • Use pre-approved patterns, proportionate review and governance by exception to improve decision speed without weakening enterprise accountability.
• Collaboration, influence and EA practice development
  • Serve as a trusted architecture advisor to senior business and IT leaders, framing options and recommendations in terms of outcomes, cost, risk, resilience, speed and value.
  • Facilitate cross-functional decisions.
