We are looking for an IT Architecture Manager with strategic vision, strong technical expertise, and proven leadership ability to define, govern, and evolve the organization’s technology architecture. This role is responsible for aligning technology capabilities with business objectives, ensuring that platforms, applications, data, infrastructure, and integration standards support growth, operational efficiency, security, and innovation. The ideal candidate will combine business acumen, deep knowledge of modern architectures, and experience coordinating cross-functional teams in complex environments undergoing digital transformation.
The IT Architecture Manager will work closely with business leaders, development, infrastructure, security, data, and operations teams to design sustainable and scalable technology roadmaps. This person will assess the current state of the technology ecosystem, identify gaps, risks, and opportunities, and propose frameworks, principles, and standards that enable consistent decision-making across the enterprise. The role will also play a key part in technology selection, legacy system modernization, cloud adoption, and the definition of service-oriented, event-driven, or microservices-based architectures according to business needs.
Beyond architectural definition, this position requires strong influence and communication skills to translate complex technical concepts into clear recommendations for executive and non-technical audiences. The selected candidate will establish governance mechanisms, review strategic initiatives, validate solution designs, and ensure compliance with security, performance, resilience, interoperability, and regulatory requirements. This person will also promote best practices in documentation, component reuse, technology lifecycle management, and application portfolio rationalization.
We are seeking someone with experience leading teams or communities of architects, encouraging collaboration across departments, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. It is important to have sound judgment to balance innovation with pragmatism, as well as the ability to prioritize technology investments based on business value, total cost of ownership, and risk. This position offers the opportunity to directly influence the company’s technology direction, participate in high-impact initiatives, and build a robust enterprise architecture that enables long-term digital transformation. If you are passionate about designing scalable, secure, and business-aligned technology ecosystems, this opportunity may be an excellent fit for you.
