Enterprise Architect M&A Integration

We are looking for an Enterprise Architect with hands-on experience supporting Merger & Acquisition (M&A) integration programs. This is not a technical integration architect role, it is a business-focused enterprise architecture position that bridges business capabilities, applications, technology landscapes, and integration strategies following acquisitions.

You will work closely with business and IT stakeholders to assess current-state environments, define target-state architectures, support Day 1 and TSA Exit planning, and create integration roadmaps that enable successful business transformation.

This role is ideal for someone with 2–5 years of Enterprise Architecture experience (or 5–10 years in Solution/Application Architecture with strong Enterprise Architecture exposure) who enjoys operating at both strategic and execution levels.

• Support Enterprise Architecture activities across M&A integration programs.

• Assess current-state application and technology landscapes.

• Define target-state architectures and integration roadmaps.

• Document application portfolios, technology inventories, and architecture artifacts.

• Perform application rationalization and identify consolidation opportunities.

• Map business capabilities to supporting applications.

• Facilitate architecture workshops with business and IT stakeholders.

• Support Day 1, TSA Exit, and long-term integration planning.

• Collaborate with business, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data teams.

• Review solution designs for alignment with Enterprise Architecture standards.

• Identify integration risks, technical debt, and dependencies.

• Maintain architecture repositories and governance documentation.

• Produce executive-ready architecture assessments and recommendations.

• Support successful delivery of integration initiatives with project teams and partners.
