About the role
Enterprise Architecture Senior Architect Career Architecture Title: IT Principal Architect, Enterprise Architecture Role Title: Senior Architect, US Employer Enterprise Architecture POSITION SUMMARY As a Senior Architect supporting US Employer Enterprise Architecture , you will help shape architecture across a portfolio of business and technology domains. You will connect business strategy, capabilities, information, applications, platforms, and operating models into a coherent enterprise direction; align domain initiatives to target states; and develop value-based roadmaps that balance near-term delivery with long-term simplification, resilience, and growth. In this role, you will partner broadly across Enterprise Architecture, Technology, Product, Operations, Data, and US Employer business teams to influence decisions, align stakeholders, and bring clarity in ambiguous and fast-changing environments. You will work with domain leaders to shape capability roadmaps, identify cross-domain dependencies, and sequence investments that improve business outcomes, technology agility, and operational effectiveness. You will bring an outside-in perspective on market, healthcare, and technology trends while helping teams converge on practical, value-driven architecture choices. This role requires strong influence and innovative problem-solving to translate business needs into technology strategy and architectural direction.

QUALIFICATIONS • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering or related field, advanced degree a plus • 8+ years of experience in a software engineering, infrastructure, or architecture environment • Demonstrated enterprise architecture experience delivering target-state architectures, capability maps, standards/patterns, and multi-year roadmaps (e.g., reference architectures, ca
