Senior Director, Technology Integration – Enterprise Architecture

Role Overview

• Provide strategic leadership to accelerate technology integration and platform modernization by enabling teams with clear guardrails, reusable patterns, and automated governance.
• Operate as an enterprise-wide architecture ‘force multiplier’—empowering domain and platform teams to deliver safely at speed while converging on a cohesive target-state.
• Serve as the architecture integration leader for M&A, translating deal intent into executable transition states, sequencing, and platform convergence outcomes.
• Focus on the integration of capabilities into the Bank’s core and digital ecosystem, establishing repeatable integration playbooks, canonical interfaces, and transition states that reduce risk while increasing time-to-value and synergy.
• Drive measurable outcomes—faster delivery cycles, reduced complexity, TCO and improved resiliency—so the Bank can operate with challenger-bank agility in a regulated environment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of banking experience and 5–10 years in enterprise architecture, gained within financial services or consulting environments.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype and operationalize architecture decisions—using spike solutions, reference implementations, and experimentation to quickly test assumptions, quantify trade-offs, and inform executive decisions in fast-moving integration programs.
• Proven experience leading M&A integration architecture (pre-close planning through Day‑1/Day‑100 and beyond), including platform convergence, data/domain integration, cutover strategy, and decommissioning—ideally in regulated financial services and/or consulting-led environments.
• Expertise across architecture domains such as cloud, data analytics, APIs/integration, security, infrastructure, digital channels, and core banking platforms.
• Strong understanding of NFRs including reliability, performance, scalability, disaster recovery, and security.
• Ability to design and govern complex multi‑platform ecosystems.
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to simplify complexity and influence senior decision‑makers.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and develop architects—building shared standards, improving architectural decision quality, and scaling consistent practices across a federated organization.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to facilitate cross‑functional alignment.
• Strategic mindset paired with operational awareness.
• Architecture certifications such as TOGAF, SAFe Architect, or cloud architecture certifications are an asset.
