Our client is seeking an Enterprise Architect / Sr. Business Analyst to support a Department of Defense agency’s information systems portfolio. The role centers on analyzing enterprise business requirements, modeling information systems and data flows, coordinating with functional business units, and identifying opportunities to improve enterprise-level systems through emerging technologies.
Who You Are
You see enterprise architecture as the bridge between an agency’s mission and the information systems that enable it. You think in terms of portfolios, capabilities, and business processes – not just technology – and you know how to translate between stakeholders who speak in mission outcomes and teams who speak in system specifications. You are fluent in EA methodologies and modeling tools, and you bring the analytical rigor and communication skills to document complex systems clearly and advocate for improvements that matter. You take initiative without being asked and want ownership of the firm’s trajectory, not just your deliverables.
