It's an exciting time to join Fisher Investments! We're continuing to invest in the future of our firm's technology and information security. Our business is growing internationally, which emphasizes the need to build an unparalleled global team that inspires future scale through strategic solutions, innovation, mentoring, and tight-knit teamwork. We help support our firm's diverse businesses, and we are excited to continue solidifying that foundation as we add more accomplished technologists to our team. The Opportunity: The Enterprise Architect (Salesforce) plans portions of the enterprise architecture environment, develops architectural principles and standards, and promotes alignment of technology to our needs. You will have a particular focus on the architecture and design of cloud platforms to support Sales and Client Service groups in running a large wealth management firm with a global presence. As a technical expert, you will partner with our internal technology teams, our partners, third-party vendors, and implementation partners. Your experience will help us build our technology transformation program and create multi-year roadmaps to align enterprise-wide solutions to Fisher's priorities. You will also survey the technology landscape and guide the evolution of the current environment to support future capabilities and requirements. You will report to the Vice President of Enterprise Architecture as a member of our team of experienced Enterprise Architects. The Day-to-Day: Define and oversee the adherence to enterprise architecture principles and standards across portions of applications, infrastructure, and information security. Define the architecture and lead the selection of important platforms (both cloud and on-premises), products, and vendors to be used for programs across the enterprise. Ensure the architecture of applications and systems (especially cloud-based data and integration architecture, with Salesforce FSC as a foundation, for Sales and Client Service functions) is consistent with enterprise needs, and check how application solutions are used to meet those enterprise needs. Lead technology and business teams to evaluate current technology solutions and plan, design, and coordinate multi-year roadmaps for all applications and support activities. Survey the technology landscape to identify systems and solutions that align with firm strategy while collaborating with executive leadership to recommend, implement and maintain appropriate technology solutions. Function as SME to Technology Business Services, Infrastructure and Operations, Information Security, 3rd party vendors, and implementation partners. Facilitate optimization of current state architecture during the transformation to future state architecture. Develop POCs to facilitate architectural decisions and provide guidance to implementation teams. Support problem-solving with pragmatic architectures and implementation approaches. Tailor presentations and conversations to the appropriate audience: business stakeholders, technical executives, or developers.
