At Zions, this role operates at the "sweet spot" of scale: we are a premier $90B+ western regional bank facing complex, enterprise-level engineering challenges, yet nimble enough that a talented architect will see the direct, tangible impact of their decisions. You will own the foundational target-state architectures across our business, data, application, infrastructure, and security domains. Building upon that foundation, you will act as a strategic partner to our business executives—translating long-term business goals into dynamic technology roadmaps, modernizing our technology governance to be an enabler rather than a blocker, and safely driving our enterprise AI strategy. Key Responsibilities: Enterprise Architecture Foundation & Practice: Develop, maintain, and mature target-state architectures and strategic roadmaps across business, data, application, infrastructure, and security domains. Define core architectural principles, integration patterns (e.g., API-led, event-driven), and technology standards to ensure scalable, resilient, and standardized solutions across the enterprise. Manage baseline architectures to actively identify and reduce technical debt, driving continuous application portfolio simplification and rationalization. Guide the technical design of complex solutions, ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture standards and seamless integration across transactional, analytical, and core banking systems. Enablement-First Governance: Lead and participate in Architecture Review Boards (ARB) and Technology Strategy Boards, enforcing compliance to technology and regulatory standards. Actively modernize and simplify Zions' Technology Governance. Respect the critical nature of our regulatory environment while evolving our review frameworks into an "enablement-first" model that uses automated guardrails and playbooks to accelerate delivery teams. Business Architecture & Strategic Alignment: Partner directly with executive business leaders to define capability models and perform value stream analysis. Act as a trusted advisor in portfolio management and investment prioritization, ensuring our technology spend is ruthlessly aligned to our highest-value business capabilities. Guide enterprise sourcing strategies, objectively evaluating market solutions against internal capabilities to maximize investment value and operational agility. Optimize executive-level decision-making by embedding rigorous trade-off and risk analysis into the architectural discipline, ensuring leaders have clear visibility into the long-term impacts of technology investments. Innovation & AI Strategy: Govern the enterprise adoption of emerging technologies, including Generative and Agentic AI. Establish the architectural boundaries, data privacy guardrails, and integration patterns necessary to safely deploy AI in a highly regulated environment. Continuously monitor industry trends and emerging platforms, evaluating their potential value to Zions' digital transformation. Qualifications: Professional Experience & Technical Foundation: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Technology Management, or a related field. 8+ years of proven experience in enterprise architecture, solutions architecture, or IT leadership, with a strong track record of designing complex, enterprise-scale systems. Deep, hands-on understanding of modern architectural paradigms, including cloud computing (AWS/Azure), CI/CD, microservices, containerization, and data lake modernization. Demonstrated ability to produce strategically focused written content, architectural artifacts, and formal presentations for technical and non-technical audiences. The Mindset & Soft Skills: Executive Gravitas & Translation: Proven ability to sit with business leaders, understand their operational goals, and translate those objectives into a coherent technology strategy without relying on technical jargon. Diplomatic Disruption & High EQ: Strong emotional intelligence to challenge legacy thinking, negotiate conflicting priorities, and drive transformation through influence and collaboration rather than mandates. Comfort with Ambiguity & Systems Thinking: The ability to connect dots across highly siloed departments, resolve conflicting requirements, and bring order to complex business and technical challenges. Nice to Have Experience: Experience in banking or other financial services sectors (e.g., knowledge of core banking systems such as TCS BaNCS, FIS, Fiserv). Working understanding and certifications in related frameworks such as TOGAF and BIAN. Experience using formal EA repository software (e.g., BizzDesign, Orbus).
