PERMANENT ENABLEMENT ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT Location: Quincy, MA ~ Hybrid 3 Days SUMMARY
As the Process Design and Enablement Architect, you will lead IT architecture’s strategic design and governance of the Architecture practice. Your role will be pivotal in modernizing architecture internal processes and driving impactful transformations through effective collaboration with the Architecture Leads, business leaders, and IT leadership.
In this process-focused role, you will craft visionary roadmaps, establish policy to support internal processes, compliance requirements, and governance workflows. You, in conjunction with Architecture Leadership will set the strategic architectural direction. Your scope will include refining processes to ensure consistency across all architecture output, engagement, and process. This role will also facilitate incremental improvement of how Architecture manages our work – refining templates, Architecture tools, a focus on data quality, reviewing standards, exceptions, and gaps in strategy are all examples of ways to achieve incremental improvement. A strong security mindset will be essential to ensure that all architectural decisions and implementations prioritize protecting our data and systems.
This position demands a balanced blend of technical expertise and leadership qualities. Strategic thinking, decisive action, and a passion for innovation are essential to ensure the architecture function effectively bridges business needs with technological advancements.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Enablement Enterprise Architect is responsible for designing and delivering architecture solutions within the technology platforms. This role requires a balance of technical expertise and behavioral skills, such as effective communication, problem-solving, and decision-making. The individual will also have accountability for ensuring solutions comply with security and regulatory requirements.
Enterprise Process Architects are specialists within our Technology Enablement Platform, focusing on technology-driven Enablement practices. As domain experts, they develop standards, patterns, and decision frameworks that guide architectural and engineering practices. Their primary mission is to equip the architecture and engineering community with deep technical expertise, establish technical standards, and ensure the organization builds resilient, stable, predictable, and scalable solutions that support and enhance operational excellence.
Leadership
Lead small architecture projects or sub-teams, providing guidance and direction to junior team members.
Influence the architecture community by actively participating in and contributing to discussions on best practices and innovative solutions.
Design and oversee the development of scalable and future-proof IT solutions that deliver on business objectives.
Reference Architectures, Models, Standards, and Patterns

Decision Frameworks: Create decision frameworks, including use cases and decision trees, to guide the selection of appropriate patterns and standards across various scenarios.
Implementation Guides: Develop comprehensive implementation guides or detailed user manuals to instruct the architecture community on the correct application of standards and patterns. These guides—sometimes referred to as "how-to" or "survival guides"—serve as practical resources to support solution design and implementation.
Risk, Compliance, Security
Ensure that solutions comply with security, privacy, and regulatory requirements through robust architectural governance.
Proactively assess risks and ensure that architecture designs mitigate them effectively.
Stay abreast of emerging technological trends and integrate them into the IT roadmap.
