-       Ability to implement standards and push to ensure best practices across development groups
-       Ability to develop root cause analysis for any and all problems related to architecture, code and production issues
The Opportunity                                                                                
The Enterprise Application Architect will play a technical leadership role in the development of an enterprise architecture discipline at The Organization.  In this role, the enterprise application architect is responsible for setting the architectural vision, documenting and communicating standards and assisting in the development and alignment of technology staff with respect to the application viewpoint. The enterprise application architect plays a key role in defining the overall direction, guidance and definition of an enterprise's architecture to effectively support the technology strategy and vision.  In this role you will act as a visionary by defining the future state application architecture to support the business vision, a collaborator and consensus-builder to facilitate the selection and prioritization of the prescribed solutions, and a steward for the Enterprise Architecture standards, guidelines, and best practices.
The Enterprise Application Architect provides technical leadership by conceptualizing and formally describing how to structure applications and how software components interact and integrate. This position leads the definition, creation, and implementation of robust and scalable software architectures to support sustainable development. You must balance practical considerations with architectural vision to achieve the greatest benefit to the environment. Work ranges from conceptual and strategic to tactical.

When you are not partnering with project teams you will be responsible for leading the cross-functional teams to implement new enterprise-level application services. As member of the Enterprise Architecture team, you share the in the responsibility for defining, challenging and supporting EA standards and decisions.
