About the Role

The Director, Enterprise Architecture and Integration owns architecture and integration across the enterprise application portfolio. The role sets integration patterns and technical standards, owns architecture decisions spanning core platforms, and manages teams focused on integration and custom application development. It combines an architecture mandate with direct team management.

Responsibilities

• Own enterprise integration patterns and technical standards across the application portfolio, and set architecture decisions that span core platforms (D365, Workday, ServiceNow, Box, M365 and related systems).
• Establish and maintain standards for application building, integration, and support, holding delivery teams accountable.
• Apply a configure-before-develop standard, making custom engineering an exception and providing architecture guidance on new solution requests and platform changes.
• Document integration and architecture boundaries historically managed informally to ensure organizational knowledge retention.
• Own the integration layer across the portfolio, including patterns, tooling, and standards for maintainability and observability.
• Set technical direction for custom application development, ensuring alignment with portfolio architecture and standards.
• Partner with platform owners to design integrations that fit the broader architecture.
• Lead and manage teams focused on integration and custom application development, including the integration and custom apps team, the Drupal team, and Azure platform engineers.
• Set priorities, manage workload, and develop team leads and engineers.
• Manage team budget and track spend against plan.
• Support the recruitment of technical staff.
• Coordinate with the Head of AI and T4P Engineering on architecture and integration boundaries between AI/engineering initiatives and the enterprise application portfolio.
• Partner with Enterprise Applications leadership to align architecture decisions with portfolio priorities and roadmaps.
• Coordinate with the data team on data architecture and integration boundaries across the portfolio.
• Coordinate with GIS and Infrastructure on shared platform boundaries, including Azure, to clarify roles and responsibilities.
• Work with the Director, AI Platforms and Digital Workplace on boundaries between the digital workplace stack and the enterprise application portfolio.
• Maintain documentation of architecture decisions, integration patterns, and technical standards.
• Ensure architecture and integration work aligns with organizational policies, data privacy requirements, and IRC’s governance frameworks.
• Surface architecture risk and technical debt plainly, and bring open questions forward.
• Establish enterprise architecture into the organization's operations and governance, defining principles, setting up review processes, and embedding decision rights.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in IT, enterprise applications, or architecture roles.
• At least 3 years in a leadership position managing a team.
• Experience setting architecture direction and technical standards in an enterprise environment.
• Ability to translate organizational needs into clear integration patterns and architecture decisions.
• Track record of managing budgets for technology work.
• Deep working knowledge of enterprise integration patterns, API management, and integration tooling across a multi-platform environment.
• Strong working knowledge of enterprise platforms such as ERP (D365 F&O), HCM (Workday), ITSM (ServiceNow), and collaboration platforms (M365, Box).
• Experience owning technical standards and holding delivery teams accountable.
• Comfort assessing build-versus-configure tradeoffs and steering work away from unnecessary custom development.
• Demonstrated experience establishing enterprise architecture governance: defining architecture principles, standing up an architecture review process, and embedding architecture decision rights into how an organization prioritizes and funds technology work.
• Hands-on background in application development and integration delivery.
• Experience leading custom application and web teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to explain architecture decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfortable surfacing open questions and risk plainly.
• Experience in a nonprofit, international development, or humanitarian sector IT environment (preferred).
• Experience coordinating architecture boundaries across infrastructure and applications teams (preferred).
• Experience with API management platforms (e.g., Azure APIM, Apigee) (preferred).
• Experience with event-driven and messaging architectures (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Kafka) (preferred).
• Familiarity with cloud-native integration tooling (e.g., Azure Functions, Logic Apps, iPaaS solutions) (preferred).
• Experience building on serverless and microservices patterns (preferred).
