Sr. Enterprise Architect

Enterprise Architect (Remote – LATAM) 12 months perm contract. Must work Eastern hours
Position Overview
We are seeking a senior Enterprise Architect with proven experience working within Fortune 100 companies and a demonstrated track record of driving large-scale technology transformation across complex, matrixed organizations.
This is not an entry-level enterprise architecture role — we are looking for someone who has operated at the highest levels of large enterprise environments, partnered directly with executive sponsors and C-suite stakeholders, and led cross-functional technology teams through significant modernization programs.
Candidates must be fluent in English (B2+ or higher, both written and spoken). The ability to communicate clearly and confidently with executive leadership and technical teams in English is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
The ideal candidate has spent meaningful, sustained time (3+ years in key roles) at Fortune 100 or large-scale enterprise organizations — not primarily in consulting engagements or small-to-mid-size shops — and brings the depth of experience that comes from navigating the scale, governance, and complexity of major enterprises.
They can speak with authority and in detail about enterprise architecture frameworks, technology roadmaps, governance processes, and how large organizations align technology strategy to business outcomes.
This role bridges business strategy and technology execution, ensuring that enterprise systems, infrastructure, applications, data platforms, and cloud environments evolve in a scalable, secure, and integrated manner. The Enterprise Architect is responsible for designing target architecture frameworks, establishing enterprise technology standards, and ensuring new initiatives integrate effectively within the broader technology landscape.
