Occupation

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/enterprise-architect

An Enterprise Architect sits at the intersection of business and technology, designing how an organization's IT systems, applications, and data align with overall business strategy, usually reporting to a CIO or CTO in large enterprises. The role relies on structured enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF to guide systems integration decisions and long-term IT strategy across business units. Because the work touches nearly every department, strong stakeholder management and increasingly cloud architecture expertise are essential to gain buy-in and keep technology roadmaps coherent.
