Everforth ECS is seeking an Enterprise Architect to own the technical strategy and oversight of automation initiatives across the organization.

Multi-Platform Oversight
- Evaluate which platform (ServiceNow, Microsoft, RPA tools, etc.) is best suited for each automation use case.
- Ensure consistent integration patterns between platforms, including APIs, data flows, and security models.
- Prevent platform sprawl and redundant tooling by maintaining a clear view of what's built where and why.
Solution Design & Technical Oversight
- Review and approve solution designs for automation projects before development begins.
- Guide development teams on scalable, secure, and maintainable automation architecture.
- Identify technical risks early and define mitigation strategies.
Deployment & Delivery Oversight
- Oversee the successful deployment of automations from development through production, including testing, release management, and rollback planning.
- Partner with DevOps/platform teams to ensure CI/CD pipelines support automation deployments.
- Monitor post-deployment performance and reliability of automated workflows.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Business Analysts, Process Owners, and Developers to ensure requirements translate into sound technical designs.

- Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure automations meet data governance and regulatory requirements.
Leadership & Mentorship

- Lead architecture review boards and design review sessions.
- Represent automation architecture in enterprise IT governance forums.
