Job Application for Director, Enterprise Architecture & Technology Governance at Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions

New

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a Director, Enterprise Architecture & Technology Governance which is the enterprise design authority responsible for defining and governing technology architecture standards across infrastructure, networking, security, applications, integration, data/platform services, and enterprise systems. This role establishes the architectural principles, reference patterns, review processes, and decision governance needed to ensure technology investments are secure, resilient, scalable, supportable, and aligned with business strategy.

This leader owns the enterprise architecture operating model, including the Architecture Review Board (ARB), architecture standards, exception management, and design decision governance. The role evaluates current-state architecture, defines target-state roadmaps, and serves as the final escalation point for cross-domain design decisions and technical tradeoffs.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in hybrid enterprise environments spanning network architecture, Zero Trust design, application/platform architecture, ERP/integration landscapes, and modern engineering guardrails for cloud and AI-enabled development. Experience with OCI is preferred, but deep expertise in one specific cloud platform is not required.

Responsibilities:

Enterprise Architecture Strategy & Governance
Define and maintain enterprise architecture strategy, principles, standards, and reference architectures. Establish and operate the architecture governance model, including ARB processes, decision frameworks, and exception management. Ensure consistent application of standards across all major initiatives.
Architecture Review, Design Authority & Decision Governance
Lead architecture review processes across infrastructure, network, security, application, and platform domains. Act as the final escalation point for complex design decisions, validating alignment with enterprise standards, resilience, security, and long-term technical integrity.
Network, Security & Zero Trust Architecture Standards
Define and govern enterprise standards for networking, segmentation, hybrid connectivity, and Zero Trust architecture. Ensure consistent application of identity-centric access models, least-privilege connectivity, and secure access patterns across all environments.
Application, Integration & Platform Architecture Oversight
Establish and enforce standards for application architecture, integration patterns, platform services, and ERP environments. Guide modernization approaches, secure development practices, and architecture patterns that support scalability and maintainability.
Executive Advisory & Cross-Functional Alignment
Serve as a trusted advisor to IT and business leadership, communicating architectural direction, risks, and tradeoffs. Partner across infrastructure, cybersecurity, applications, and data teams to align execution with enterprise architecture standards and strategic objectives.

Required Skills and Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience, with 15 + years of leadership experience in enterprise‑level architecture.

Enterprise Architecture Leadership & Governance

Proven ability to define and enforce enterprise architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, and target-state roadmaps across infrastructure, networking, security, applications, integration, and enterprise platforms.
Demonstrated experience operating and governing formal architecture processes, including Architecture Review Boards (ARB), technical design reviews, and architecture decision management.
Ability to evaluate current-state architecture, identify inconsistencies and technical debt, and define pragmatic modernization strategies aligned to business outcomes.

Cross-Domain Architecture Expertise

Deep, practical understanding of enterprise IT ecosystems, including hybrid infrastructure, cloud platforms, networking, security architecture, application platforms, ERP environments, and integration patterns.
Experience defining standards across multiple domains and ensuring alignment between infrastructure, security, and application architecture decisions.
Strong ability to operate at both enterprise and solution levels, ensuring consistency while enabling delivery teams.

Network & Zero Trust Architecture

Strong experience defining enterprise networking principles, segmentation strategies, and connectivity models across hybrid environments.
Expertise in Zero Trust concepts including identity-centric access, least-privilege enforcement, segmentation, continuous authentication, and secure remote/third-party access.
Ability to translate security and networking strategy into enforceable architecture standards and design patterns.

Application, Integration & Modern Engineering Architecture

Experience defining enterprise standards for application architecture, platform services, integration patterns, and secure software development practices.
Working knowledge of modern development approaches including APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture, CI/CD, and platform engineering.
Ability to define guardrails for AI-enabled application development, data access patterns, and secure integration of emerging technologies.

Architecture Decision Authority & Executive Influence

Demonstrated ability to act as final architectural authority for cross-domain design decisions, including risk tradeoffs and standards exceptions.
Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical decisions into clear business impacts and recommendations.
Ability to influence outcomes across a matrixed organization without direct operational control.

Preferred Technical Experience:

Experience working in environments leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle enterprise platforms, or comparable large-scale enterprise ecosystems.
Familiarity with enterprise-scale data platforms, analytics environments, and AI/ML solution architectures.
