• Set standards for availability, performance, resiliency, and disaster recovery.
• Evaluate products and designs for security, lifecycle risk, and total cost of ownership.

Solution Design & Governance

• Lead architecture assessments and solution designs for complex infrastructure and cloud initiatives.
• Produce diagrams, design documents, decision records, and implementation roadmaps.
• Review vendor proposals against enterprise standards. Provide guidance from planning through operational handoff.

Innovation & Cost Optimization

• Evaluate infrastructure as code, automation, AI-enabling infrastructure, and emerging platforms.
• Recommend consolidation, cost optimization, and technical debt reduction.

Intake, Delivery & Capacity Planning

• Support a lean technology intake process that assesses architectural impact and prioritizes demand.
• Use CMDB data to understand assets, dependencies, and change impacts, and promote data quality.
• Manage architecture backlogs and decisions in Jira, using sound project management practices.
