Technical Architect provides architectural leadership and guidance in their assigned business area, aligning solution development efforts with the broader architectural vision and roadmap. A Technical Architect’s skills and knowledge must include multiple domains (Application/Solution architecture, Technical/Infrastructure architecture, Information/Data architecture), and experience with relevant implementation technology, platforms, and tools. As a leader, a Technical Architect is expected to influence the assigned organization and work independently with senior business and IT leaders, while acting as a mentor and role model within the development teams. The Technical Architect is accountable for successful implementation of architecture in their assigned organization/teams, which requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work with developers of differing skill levels, and the ability to recognize, surface, and resolve architectural issues in a collaborative manner.

• Architecture Leadership: The Technical Architect translates business strategy, the Architecture Vision, and the Architecture Runway into business area solutions, architectures & implementable features.  The Technical Architect will drive the technology vision within their business/application area, evaluate new technologies and external products for their applicability to their specific project or roadmap requirements. This includes taking an opportunistic approach for the inclusion of the enterprise’s Architecture Runway components into the incremental development plans (PI, or Program Increment Planning) of their assigned teams and applications.  This must balance business needs and R&D needs, ensuring pragmatic use of development resources while enabling the business to achieve their goals in an economical, scalable, and supportable way. The Technical Architect will establish and maintain technology standards for their applications and drive technical designs to consensus and approval, as necessary. The Technical Architect will also participate in the Enterprise Architecture COP, allowing them to support the creation and evolution of enterprise architecture, including an Architectural Vision, Architecture Runway, and governance processes.
