About the position

The position involves a comprehensive approach to designing solutions that align with business needs while ensuring that the technical and functional aspects are well-integrated. The role requires mapping existing systems and processes to identify any gaps or design flaws that may hinder operational efficiency. A future-forward perspective is essential, focusing on minimizing technical debt and ensuring that solutions are sustainable and scalable. This involves not only understanding current technologies but also anticipating future needs and trends in the industry. In addition to solution design, the role emphasizes the importance of defining and maintaining standards across the organization. This includes developing and documenting technical and functional patterns, as well as best practices that guide the delivery teams. Effective communication is key, as the individual will be responsible for enforcing these standards and bridging any gaps in communication between teams. The goal is to ensure consistency and alignment in the solutions being developed, particularly those emerging from the Enterprise Architecture team. Aligning functionality with technology is another critical aspect of the role. The individual will need to make informed decisions about which problems can be effectively solved with specific technology platforms. This requires a deep understanding of both the business challenges and the technological landscape. The selection and introduction of new technology is a significant responsibility. The individual will identify when existing technologies are inadequate and lead the New Technology Process (NTP) to address these gaps. This includes implementing selected technology platforms and driving their adoption within delivery teams, ensuring that the transition is smooth and that teams are equipped to leverage new tools effectively. Strategic planning is also a vital component of the role. The individual will develop long-term business capability and technology plans that encompass all areas of IT. Advocacy for these plans with Product Owners and Management is essential to ensure alignment with organizational goals. Additionally, rationalizing applications by consolidating duplicate business functionalities into single products will be a key focus, enhancing efficiency and reducing complexity within the IT landscape.
