General tasks

• In collaboration with the client/stakeholders, conduct kick-off meetings to identify organizational critical success factors and Key Performance Indicators to scope the context for digital solution Architecture(s) by conducting analysis(es) of the business environments(s), external drivers and the business strategy(ies)
• Provide domain specific advice related to digital transformation during meetings, Technical Working Group sessions, or at any times as requested by the client, in support the architectural work. This may be in the form of presentations, briefings, dashboards, etc.
• Collaborate with the other enterprise and domain architects on cross functional initiatives and the identification of digitalization opportunities
• Conduct Capability Assessments to identify capability optimization focus areas, gaps, risks and the organization’s readiness for digital transformation
• Analyze the current technology environment to detect critical deficiencies and recommend solutions for improvement
• Develop an integrated view of the enterprise’s digital capabilities and processes using a repeatable approach, cohesive framework, and available industry standard techniques
• Provide high-level designs across the Digital Technology domain that could include domains such as Web and Mobile applications, Application Programming Interface (API), Content Management Systems (CMS), Client Relationship Management (CRM), Digital Asset Management (DAM) etc.
• Construct digital business models, technology roadmaps/blueprints, which may include digital capabilities, functions and processes, technology stack and organization design
• Design and develop prototypes and Proof-of-Concepts (POCs) to support proposed digital transformation architectures and confirm and quantify effort and risk associated with deployment of new solutions based on the prototypes and POCs
• Develop digital standards, best practices and digital roadmap, synchronized with the overall enterprise future state architecture
• Architect the framework and platform to support the digital transformation of applications and iterate until optimal deployment model is mature – i.e. minimize cost, complexity, risk to deploy
