Job Description

The Enterprise Architect is the most senior customer-facing architecture role within Oracle and is critical to the relationship between the customer and Oracle. The Enterprise Architect acts as a bridge between the needs of the customer to the solutions and services that Oracle may bring to bear to deliver value to the customer. The Enterprise Architect provides leadership within Oracle across the various lines of business to ensure that Oracle’s value offerings to the customer are feasible, consistent, effective and aligned to the customer need. The primary role is to inspire business transformation by aligning an organization's industry-specific strategic objectives with its operating model, process and capabilities. EA work to disassemble opportunities for transformation into phased, value-based recommendations.

The Enterprise Architect has the broadest knowledge of all IT architects, covering all layers of the architecture, all functional domains and across many industries. Enterprise Architects possess deep knowledge of business process, value chains and capabilities across various business functions. They work with clients to assess where process and capabilities are today, and which ones must be matured in order to meet organizational strategy.

The Enterprise Architect will typically not have deep skills in any specific area, but will work with deep domain and product experts where necessary.

The Enterprise Architect will work closely with the customer at very senior level within the customer organisation - typically, CIO, Chief Architect or CTO - to build a strong strategic architecture relationship with the customer. This is usually realised through regular and frequent meetings with the customer - for example within the construct of an architecture board. Whilst the focus will likely be on the customer’s use of Oracle products and services, the aspiration is to build sufficient trust with the customer such that Oracle’s products are considered at the earliest point of the customer’s decision making. The Enterprise Architect will also work with other LoB architects to build a complete high- level architecture that covers all aspects necessary to deliver success to Oracle and the customer.

As the senior role in the architecture community, the Enterprise Architect must also lead beyond a single opportunity. The Enterprise Architect will lead on architecture re-use through the capture of these large-scale architecture designs and their evangelising within Oracle. This includes not only direct re-use in future architecture opportunities, but also the use of those solutions in business development, services proposition development, future product direction.

Provides direction and specialist knowledge in applying the technology/application to client business. Facilitation of customer product/application understanding through presentations demonstrations and benchmarks; provision of support throughout the sell.
