Director, Enterprise Architecture & Technology Governance

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a Director, Enterprise Architecture & Technology Governance which is the enterprise design authority responsible for defining and governing technology architecture standards across infrastructure, networking, security, applications, integration, data/platform services, and enterprise systems. This role establishes the architectural principles, reference patterns, review processes, and decision governance needed to ensure technology investments are secure, resilient, scalable, supportable, and aligned with business strategy.

This leader owns the enterprise architecture operating model, including the Architecture Review Board (ARB), architecture standards, exception management, and design decision governance. The role evaluates current-state architecture, defines target-state roadmaps, and serves as the final escalation point for cross-domain design decisions and technical tradeoffs.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in hybrid enterprise environments spanning network architecture, Zero Trust design, application/platform architecture, ERP/integration landscapes, and modern engineering guardrails for cloud and AI-enabled development. Experience with OCI is preferred, but deep expertise in one specific cloud platform is not required.

• Enterprise Architecture Strategy & Governance
  :
  Define and maintain enterprise architecture strategy, principles, standards, and reference architectures. Establish and operate the architecture governance model, including ARB processes, decision frameworks, and exception management. Ensure consistent application of standards across all major initiatives.
• Architecture Review, Design Authority & Decision Governance
  :
  Lead architecture review processes across infrastructure, network, security, application, and platform domains. Act as the final escalation point for complex design decisions, validating alignment with enterprise standards, resilience, security, and long-term technical integrity.

  :
  Establish and enforce standards for application architecture, integration patterns, platform services, and ERP environments. Guide modernization approaches, secure development practices, and architecture patterns that support scalability and maintainability.
• Executive Advisory & Cross‑Functional Alignment
  :
  Serve as a trusted advisor to IT and business leadership, communicating architectural direction, risks, and tradeoffs. Partner across infrastructure, cybersecurity, applications, and data teams to align execution with enterprise architecture standards and strategic objectives.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience, with 15 + years of leadership experience in enterprise‑level architecture.
• Proven ability to define and enforce enterprise architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, and target‑state roadmaps across infrastructure, networking, security, applications, integration, and enterprise platforms.
• Demonstrated experience operating and governing formal architecture processes, including Architecture Review Boards (ARB), technical design reviews, and architecture decision management.
• Ability to evaluate current‑state architecture, identify inconsistencies and technical debt, and define pragmatic modernization strategies aligned to business outcomes.
• Deep, practical understanding of enterprise IT ecosystems, including hybrid infrastructure, cloud platforms, networking, security architecture, application platforms, ERP environments, and integration patterns.
• Experience defining standards across multiple domains and ensuring alignment between infrastructure, security, and application architecture…
