Role description
Enterprise Architect is a critical role within the Consulting team. Working with a cross functional squad, an Enterprise Architect provides Technology Advisory and Solution Design services to our clients. The role also helps the consulting sales team with solution pitches. This role typically works on consulting engagements to solve complex digital problems and to define digital transformation strategies / roadmaps and solutions to help our clients realize technology enabled business value. No two engagement / clients are the same, however a typical engagement could include defining an Enterprise Architecture roadmap, leading a Technology evaluation and selection, reviewing an inflight digital transformation, or designing an approach to modernize legacy applications for a client.
A typical workday for an Enterprise Architect involves fast pace work, dealing with a variety of stakeholders, clients and consultants. You need to be someone who can deal with ambiguity; thrive on change and manage your own time effectively. We want someone that genuinely focuses on client outcomes, with a high degree of integrity. We value consultants that have a high IQ, enjoy problem solving, a willingness to serve, and have little ego. You will need to be confident presenting to both business and technology stakeholders, leading cross functional geographically dispersed teams, and have strong negotiating for outcomes skills. Above all, you should have a positive attitude, and enjoy working with consultants from a diverse range of backgrounds, on a variety of fast paced engagements.
