This role works directly with our Corporate Portfolio to understand current and future usage and demand for data management and analytics capabilities. You will be defining strategic direction for data management capabilities, including analytics, for the 'Corporate' domain (Finance, People & Culture, Legal, etc.) in alignment with the overall Technology strategy for that domain.  In doing so, the role will define supporting architectural decisions and patterns to enable effective implementation of the strategy.  Key responsibilities for the employee will be to ensure business unit stakeholder alignment, synergies with other domains (PPeCS, Network Operations & Retail) for leveraging efficiencies, and alignment with the Principal Architect for the Corporate Domain.

The role will translate this understanding into clearly defined blueprints for the evolution of data assets and supporting platforms and services with a particular focus on making data 'AI ready'.   The role will be accountable for delivering the data architecture blueprints for one or more business domains.   The blueprints will demonstrate alignment with a consistent set of Enterprise Data Architecture Principles and the Enterprise Reference Data Architecture. Additionally, the role will provide clear direction through Key Design Decisions and Architecture Patterns to guide solution architecture and delivery.
