Job Description

VP, Architecture

JDPA LIMITED

• Own Enterprise Architecture: Consolidate the disparate architectural conventions of acquired entities into a single set of enterprise standards, reference architectures, and playbooks. • Publish NorthStar Principles: Define, publish, and maintain the NorthStar technical principles—covering front-end frameworks, back-end services, authentication, data platform, and CI/CD—and keep them current as technology evolves. • Drive Enterprise Technology Decisions: Lead enterprise-level technology choices (e.g., AI tooling, UI stack, CIAM, data platform) with clear rationale, and ensure consistent adoption across all engineering teams. • Promote shared component libraries, common patterns, and a consistent look, feel, and engineering experience across all JD Power products. • Lead Enterprise Architecture Team: Build, mentor, and direct a small, high-caliber team of enterprise architects responsible for cross-cutting and enterprise-scope initiatives. • Lead the Architect Guild: Lead the guild of architects embedded within engineering teams under the SVP of Engineering—setting their charter, raising their capability, and aligning their work to enterprise standards while preserving team autonomy. • Establish a federated (hybrid) governance model that balances local team ownership of system-level decisions with enterprise consistency on cross-cutting concerns. • Develop architecture talent, define career paths and expectations for architects across the organization, and grow the bench of senior technical leaders. • Design and run a two-tier architecture review process: product-specific reviews led by embedded architects, and enterprise-level reviews led by the enterprise architecture team. • Stand up and lead an architecture council—comprising enterprise, embedded, and TechOps architects—to evaluate initiatives of enterprise scope and resolve cross-cutting design decisions. • Integrate architecture review into the quarterly planning cadence, with clear triggers, standardized review artifacts, and a documented path for escalation from team-level to enterprise-level review. • Centralize architecture review artifacts and decisions (e.g., ADRs) so that rationale is transparent, discoverable, and reusable across the organization. • Partner closely with the SVP of Engineering, the VP of Infrastructure, TechOps, and Security to ensure architecture decisions are practical, secure, and operable. • Provide executive leadership with clear visibility into key architectural decisions, technical risk, and standards adoption across the engineering organization. • Influence engineering teams toward sound architecture through clarity, credibility, and collaboration rather than mandate alone.

Job Requirements

  • 15+ years of progressive experience in software engineering and technical architecture.
  • 5+ years in a VP or Sr. Director architecture leadership role with responsibility for enterprise-wide standards.
  • Demonstrated success leading and developing teams of architects, and influencing engineering organizations toward consistent standards.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise across modern application architecture, including front-end frameworks (e.g., React), back-end services (e.g., Node.js, Java), and API design.
  • Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake) and medallion/lakehouse data architecture.
  • Experience selecting and standardizing enterprise capabilities such as authentication/CIAM (e.g., Auth0, SSO), CI/CD (e.g., GitLab) with DORA instrumentation, and AI/LLM tooling.
  • Proven success establishing architecture review processes, governance councils, and decision frameworks (e.g., ADRs) in complex, multi-team environments.
  • Track record of defining architecture in multi-entity or post-acquisition environments where consolidation and consistency are required.
  • Solid experience with company and team transformation (especially with PE backed enterprises).
  • Strong conviction about, and practical experience with, AI-assisted development tools and agentic engineering workflows.
  • Exceptional communication and influence skills, with the ability to align engineering leaders and provide strategic counsel to the C-suite.
  • Experience operating in private equity-backed or high-growth environments balancing growth with engineering efficiency.
  • Experience in data-intensive or analytics-driven businesses, particularly automotive, financial services, or information services sectors (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
