Enterprise Architect - onsite

Westerville, Ohio client seeking a strategic and technically accomplished Enterprise Architect to serve as the senior architectural authority across the GDPO organization, defining and governing the enterprise technology blueprint that aligns business strategy with IT execution across all digital platforms and engineering functions. This individual contributor role in a lead capacity is responsible for establishing and maintaining the enterprise architecture across four core domains — business architecture, application architecture, data architecture, and technology architecture — ensuring that the digital ecosystem operates as a coherent, scalable, and future-ready platform.

• The Enterprise Architect will provide architectural oversight across the portfolio of enterprise platforms and will serve as the architectural bridge between executive leadership and technical teams.
• This role operates within the Digital organization and plays a foundational role in advancing the client's Operational Excellence and Customer Focus & Innovation strategic priorities by ensuring that technology investments, integration patterns, AI capabilities, and platform decisions are architecturally sound, strategically aligned, and capable of scaling across the enterprise.
• As the enterprise's chief architectural voice, this role requires both strategic vision and hands‑on technical depth — translating business objectives, digital transformation initiatives, and emerging technology opportunities into actionable architecture roadmaps, reference architectures, and governance frameworks that guide all downstream engineering decisions.
• The Enterprise Architect will define and enforce technology standards, design patterns, and architectural guardrails across the organization, while maintaining deep awareness of GPDO's modern front-end tooling ecosystem — including JavaScript (JSX), React 19, Tailwind CSS 3, shadcn/ui, and Lucide React — built on React Context + hooks for state management, Craco for build tooling, and Yarn as the package manager.
• This role will champion the adoption of enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF and Archi Mate, evaluate and guide the strategic integration of Generative AI, Large Language Models, and AI-driven automation into the enterprise technology landscape, and partner with AI architects, integration engineers, data architects, platform engineers, and business leadership to ensure the client's architecture is resilient, secure, governed, and positioned for long-term competitive advantage.
• This position is based on site in Westerville, OH headquarters, with occasional domestic and international travel as needed.
