Provide architectural oversight and design review for major initiatives, from early scoping through implementation.

Integration & Platform Governance

Integration Standards:
Set and govern integration standards (API, event-driven, iPaaS, batch/EDI) so new systems connect through consistent, supportable patterns rather than one-off point-to-point links.
Vendor & Technology Evaluation:
Evaluate new vendors, platforms, and technologies (commerce, integration, data) against the existing estate and long-term strategy.

Documentation & Risk Management

Architecture Documentation:
Maintain and communicate current- and future-state architecture diagrams, data flow maps, and technology inventories for the commerce estate.

Identify architectural risk — single points of failure, unsupported integrations, technical debt — and drive remediation plans with clear priority and business justification.
