• Review and approve solution designs for automation projects before development begins.
• Guide development teams on scalable, secure, and maintainable automation architecture.
• Identify technical risks early and define mitigation strategies.

Deployment & Delivery Oversight

• Oversee the successful deployment of automations from development through production, including testing, release management, and rollback planning.
• Partner with DevOps/platform teams to ensure CI/CD pipelines support automation deployments.
• Monitor post-deployment performance and reliability of automated workflows.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Business Analysts, Process Owners, and Developers to ensure requirements translate into sound technical designs.

• Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure automations meet data governance and regulatory requirements.

Leadership & Mentorship

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to automation developers and solution architects.
• Lead architecture review boards and design review sessions.
• Represent automation architecture in enterprise IT governance forums.

Salary Range: $150,000 - $170,000
