Manager, Enterprise Architecture

Job Purpose

The Manager, Enterprise Architecture supports the Enterprise Architecture Director in defining and evolving Maaden’s enterprise architecture across IT, OT, Data, AI, and digital platforms. This role translates the enterprise architecture vision, principles, and standards into practical domain and solution architectures. The Manager acts as a trusted architectural partner to domain and platform teams, ensuring alignment with enterprise direction, interoperability standards, and roadmaps. The focus is on consistency, integration, and execution, rather than setting overall enterprise strategy.

Key Accountabilities

• Support Enterprise Architecture Direction: Contribute to the development and maintenance of enterprise architecture principles, standards, and reference architectures. Translate enterprise architecture vision and roadmaps into actionable guidance for domain, platform, and solution architects. Ensure architectural designs across data, AI, OT, and core systems align with defined enterprise standards.
• Govern Architecture Alignment: Participate in architecture reviews led by the Enterprise Architecture Director or Architecture Review Board. Identify risks related to fragmentation, duplication, or unmanaged technical debt and escalate where appropriate.
• Enable Cross-Domain Integration: Apply defined integration patterns and reference architectures across platforms and systems. Support end-to-end interoperability across IT, OT, data, and digital environments. Collaborate with integration, data, and platform teams to ensure scalable and reusable solutions.
• Partner with Domain and Platform Teams: Work closely with Domain Architects, Platform Architects, and engineering teams to support solution design. Act as a point of coordination between delivery teams and enterprise architecture governance.
• Architecture Documentation and Communication: Develop and maintain architecture artifacts, including diagrams, standards, and design guidelines. Communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and constraints to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
