Vector Synergy, Norfolk, Virginia, United States, 23500
Senior Enterprise Architect Support to Nuclear Consultation, Command and Control C3 Programme
The SENIOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT will support the NUCLEAR CONSULTATION, COMMAND AND CONTROL (NC3) PROGRAMME. Location : Norfolk, VA, USA Security Clearance : NATO or National SECRET TASKINGS Collaborate with stakeholders to gather and document functional and technical information for the NC3 architecture. Translate political, strategic, and operational needs and goals into architectural views in accordance with NATO Architectural Framework (NAF) specifications and design principles. Develop and refine high-level architecture designs that outline the structure, components, and interactions of the NC3 system. Create conceptual, logical, physical, and technical views of the architecture to ensure a comprehensive understanding of its systems, components and relationships. Create architectural documentation using NAF standards, best practices, and guidelines to ensure consistency and coherence across different components of the NC3 architecture. Collaborate with other architects, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure alignment with broader NATO strategies and goals. Communicate the architectural vision, rationale, and implications to non-technical stakeholders and decision-makers. Manage the impact of architectural changes on existing systems and processes, ensuring that transitions are smooth and disruptions are minimized. Collaborate with applicable stakeholders to ensure that the architecture is validated against defined requirements and that its performance meets operational expectations. Provide training to staff and end-users to ensure proper understanding and utilization of the architecture. Deliver briefings and presentations to senior military leadership, decision-makers, and stakeholders to communicate architectural strategies and progress. Develop Mission Thread Identification which defines the various mission threads and scenarios relevant to NATO's NC3 mission. Create detailed models of mission threads using ArchiMate modeling languages and tools. Mission Thread Analysis: Identify and define the various mission threads and scenarios relevant to NATO's NC3 mission. Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to gather input and requirements for mission thread analysis. Develop detailed models of NC3 mission threads using appropriate modeling languages and tools. Assess the existing NC3 capabilities against requirements and identify gaps or shortcomings in the current architecture or processes. Provide recommendations for improvements, enhancements, or modifications to the NC3 architecture based on the analysis of mission threads. Maintain detailed documentation of mission thread analysis, including models, reports, and findings. Collaborate with ongoing validation efforts to ensure that the NC3 architecture meets the operational requirements identified in the mission threads. Establish a process for continuous monitoring and assessment of mission threads to adapt to changing operational needs and emerging threats. Communicate the results of mission thread analysis to decision-makers, technical teams, and other stakeholders. Ensure that the NC3 architecture complies with NATO policies, directives, and security standards. Essential Qualifications At least five years of demonstrable experience with hands-on development of business, application, and technology architectures. One or more certifications in recognized Enterprise Architecture methodologies and frameworks like TOGAF, Zachman, DoDAF, UAF or similar. Demonstrable ability to present complex architectures in an easy-to-understand and accessible way to non-technical audiences. Demonstrable recent experience in analysis, design, and modeling of business architecture, with particular emphasis on documenting business roles, processes, and information flows and their relations. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
