• Experience supporting Day 1, TSA Exit, and Long-Term M&A Integration activities.
• Strong experience creating architecture artefacts including application portfolios, integration diagrams, capability maps, technology inventories, target-state architectures, roadmaps, and Architecture Decision Records.
• Experience with Enterprise Architecture tools such as Ardoq, LeanIX, Bizzdesign, or similar is preferred.
• Experience defining architectures across SaaS, cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
• Exposure to Enterprise Architecture frameworks such as TOGAF is preferred.
