Responsibilities:

• Partner with business stakeholders, product owners, engineers, and vendors to translate business requirements into architecture options and approved solution designs.
• Produce and maintain architecture artifacts such as solution blueprints, capability maps, application interaction diagrams, data flows, interface specifications, and transition roadmaps.
• Define integration and data patterns across CRM, CPQ, product catalog, OM, billing, provisioning, service assurance, and related enterprise platforms.
• Review business, functional, and technical designs to ensure compliance with approved architecture and non-functional requirements including resilience, security, observability, and supportability.
• Support delivery governance, impact assessments, platform evaluations, and architecture reviews across change initiatives in the EBG domain.
