Enterprise Architecture Lead

Red Cloud seeks an Enterprise Architecture Lead to support immediate client operations.

Issaquah, WA (Hybrid)

The Enterprise Architecture Lead will define how our client’s future-state technology, processes, and operating model should evolve. Working in partnership with the Product / Business Road mapping Lead, the Architecture Lead assesses technical feasibility, complexity, dependencies, process impacts, scalability, and future-state design considerations. Beyond roadmap planning, the role establishes architecture principles, target-state operating models, governance processes, and design review mechanisms that ensure modernization investments advance our client’s long-term business and technology strategy rather than recreating legacy solutions.

• Build and maintain future-state solution, process, and operating model designs.
• Develop technical sequencing criteria and architecture roadmaps.
• Define architecture standards, principles, and governance processes.
• Conduct design reviews and future-state alignment assessments.
• Establish target-state support models and operational structures.
• Identify process, technology, and organizational impacts of future-state designs.
• Partner with roadmap, delivery, and readiness teams to ensure scalable and sustainable solutions.

• 10+ years in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, business architecture, or process transformation leadership.
• Experience supporting large-scale modernization, ERP, digital, or platform transformation initiatives.
• Expertise in operating model design and process architecture.
• Strong facilitation, governance, and executive advisory skills.
• Experience balancing business priorities with technical realities and long-term strategy.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into business decisions and roadmap recommendations.
