Business & Information Architecture:

Support significant decisions: Partner with business and product leaders to clarify intended outcomes, evaluate viable alternatives, and make material dependencies, risks, costs, assumptions, and tradeoffs visible before major commitments are made.

Lead Business Architecture:

Connect strategy and business outcomes to capabilities, value streams, operating models, initiatives, and investments, and develop practical target direction and transformation sequencing.

Lead Information Architecture:

Clarify important business-information concepts, ownership, authoritative sources, quality expectations, lifecycle, information flows, protection, and reuse.

Identify enterprise consequences across domains:

Surface duplication, fragmentation, dependencies, and opportunities to appropriately reuse existing capabilities, information, products, applications, platforms, technologies, and services. Provide enterprise context for significant technology and platform decisions: Collaborate with DTO, Solution Architects, and Technical Leads while preserving detailed solution-design and delivery accountability.

Engage early and proportionately:

Support significant decisions and established architecture or governance forums with the level of analysis appropriate to the significance and consequences of the decision.

Maintain decision-relevant architecture knowledge:

Use SAP LeanIX and other appointed repositories, models, roadmaps, diagrams, and architecture views to support decisions rather than documentation for its own sake. As a Principal Enterprise Architect, you are expected to: Operate across multiple business and architecture domains and identify enterprise implications that may not be visible within an individual product, function, or delivery team. Serve as a trusted architecture advisor to senior business, product, and technology leaders on significant decisions, investments, and transformations. Lead complex and ambiguous engagements where the problem, desired outcome, ownership, dependencies, or viable alternatives may not yet be clear. Influence significant decisions through expertise, analysis, facilitation, relationships, and recommendations rather than formal decision authority. Establish direction, mentor others, and advance Business Architecture, Information Architecture, and decision-oriented Enterprise Architecture practices. Business domains may include Dealer-facing digital products and services, Truck Sales, Parts Sales, Service Contracts and Support, Product Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, and other commercial or aftermarket areas based on business priorities. The role works across domain boundaries and with Truck Brands and Volvo Group where decisions have broader enterprise implications. Who are you? The Principal Enterprise Architect
