- Develop and manage data integration between HOPEX and other authoritative systems, including ServiceNow, Entra ID, HR and Financial systems, to ensure a single, reliable source of truth for architectural data.
- Enforce EA data governance by creating and maintaining modeling standards, meta-model and meta-data practices, naming conventions, and governance (roles, access, and validation rules) within the architecture repository.
- Administer the day-to-day technical health of the platform, overseeing configuration changes, workflow development, dashboard creation, user access, and release/upgrade cycles.
- Collaborate with solution architects to ensure the consistency and quality of architectural models, verifying interdependencies and tracing requirements to maintain auditability.
- Coordinate with domain specific architects to manage strategic portfolios within HOPEX, including applications, technologies, data, and projects, to align IT investments with strategic objectives and support modernization roadmaps.
- Produce executive-level dashboards, reports, and scenario models to support strategic analysis, guide investment planning, and inform leadership decision-making on topics like application rationalization and risk mitigation.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Master's degree in relevant technical or engineering discipline.
- 10+ years of experience in IT service delivery, with a strong preference for experience within DoD or other federal government agencies.
