The Principal Enterprise Architect, Strategic Initiatives is the architecture
owner for the company's largest multi-year business transformation programs,
starting with the cloud ERP program replacing legacy ERP and boundary systems
region by region, in waves. The role owns the end-to-end architecture of the
initiative: the target state, the integration and data architecture that
connects the ERP core to warehouse, transportation, labeling, plant, master data
and finance systems, and the current-state architecture of every release and
wave. It is the architecture voice in the program's steering and design forums
and the counterpart to the system integrators. The role is hands-on: it keeps
the architecture current, reviews designs, settles cross-workstream conflicts
and produces the roadmap options leadership decides on.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the end-to-end architecture of the initiative: the ERP core, the boundary
applications (warehouse, transportation, labeling, plant and quality, master
data, tax, banking, EDI) and the integrations and data flows between them,
across order-to-cash, source-to-pay, plan-to-produce and record-to-report
Maintain the current-state architecture for every release and wave,
version-controlled, so that the process, application and master-data changes
from each deployment and retrofit are visible to the program, the business
and the architecture community
Own the target state and transition architecture for the remaining waves and
regions: what moves when, what runs in parallel, what retires, and the
global-template versus local-variant decisions
Produce the roadmap options leadership decides on: sequence, pause,
accelerate and consolidate scenarios with cost, risk, benefit and
dependencies laid out for the steering committee
Own integration and data-conversion architecture for the program: integration
patterns between the cloud ERP and boundary systems, conversion and migration
approach, master data flows and cut-over design, within enterprise
integration and data standards
Review solution designs from internal teams and system integrators for
conformance to the program architecture and enterprise standards, and hold
the integrators to it
Own the non-functional architecture: performance, resilience, hypercare
readiness and operability of the end-to-end flow, and the remediation plan
when a release falls short
Connect the initiative to the enterprise: align with the Principal Portfolio
and Practice Architects so the program reuses enterprise platforms and
retires legacy systems rather than adding to the landscape
Serve as the architecture member of the program's steering and design
authority forums, and the escalation point for cross-workstream architecture
conflicts
Build the bench: transfer program architecture knowledge to Solution & Domain
Architects so the initiative never again depends on one person
