Collaborate with functional leaders to build product roadmaps and create future-state visions for system architecture and business processes
Design holistic solutions that integrate structural, process, and technological changes, supporting business needs through comprehensive analysis and recommendation of options
Prioritize IT investments and backlog initiatives based on business value, impact, and strategic alignment
Provide architecture oversight and quality assurance for key projects, coaching teams on delivery methodologies such as Agile, DevOps, and test-driven development (TDD)
Serve as a key member of the Architecture Review Council to review and validate technical designs and promote best practices
Work with ENGIE NA’s broader Enterprise Architecture team to ensure alignment with enterprise-wide initiatives
Partner with senior leadership to influence budget allocations and resourcing for architecture-driven initiatives
Foster a culture of adaptability, innovation, and continuous learning within the broader IT team
