As the Lead Architect for Investment Management (IM) Strategy, you are a trusted business and technology partner responsible for translating IM strategy into outcome-driven target state architectures, sequenced roadmaps, and delivery-ready solution guidance across Capital Group's investment management ecosystem. This role spans Investment Group, Front Office, and Back Office technology, focusing on high-impact initiatives and partnering closely with business leaders, portfolio architects, and engineering teams to shape direction and deliver coherent, end-to-end designs.

You lead with the business problem and desired outcomes, deconstructing complexity across capabilities, workflows, data, and integrations to inform pragmatic technology solutions. You balance architectural rigor with execution, earning trust through clear rationale, transparent tradeoffs, and consistent follow-through. Comfortable operating across both strategy and design detail, you proactively identify cross-initiative dependencies, surface risks and opportunities, and guide teams to align and adjust early through a strong architectural point of view.

• Lead portfolio architecture for defined IM capability area(s), starting from business outcomes and operating needs, and translating them into capability led target state architectures and multiyear roadmaps that delivery teams can realistically execute.
• Create and maintain domain-wide architecture viewpoints (current and target state, "from-to" evolution, dependencies, and sequencing) that make cross-portfolio impacts and tradeoffs visible- including shared capabilities, enterprise integration patterns, and data needs- enabling confident, timely decision making across business and technology stakeholders.
• Partner with leadership to ensure architecture direction remains aligned to evolving business priorities while maintaining coherence across the broader technology landscape.
• Act as the connective layer across major initiatives, ensuring designs across programs collectively move toward a coherent architecture- highlightingoverlaps, gaps, tensions, and sequencing implications and influencing delivery paths accordingly.

• Research, design, and guide cross functional solutions to complex business problems by prioritizing business value, delivery feasibility, and risk reduction, producing multiple viable alternatives, creating detailed point of views with clear recommendations (e.g., buy vs. build, automation/AI opportunities, etc.), and documenting tradeoffs with pragmatism and transparency.
• Define and validate non-functional requirements (resiliency, performance, security, operability, scalability) and ensure they are explicitly incorporated into solution designs and delivery plans.
• Guide teams by starting from the business outcome and problem statement, then decomposing needs into data, integration, and technology patterns that enable lifecycle/workflows, including phased approaches.
• Stay sufficiently close to delivery to validate assumptions, unblock teams, and ensure architectural intent is preserved through implementation.

• Apply the architecture…
