Enterprise Architect

Position Description:

Lead the successful delivery of strategic initiatives at the heart of a dynamic, innovation-driven organization!

CGI Montreal is seeking an Enterprise Architect to lead a major ERP and business process transformation program spanning the areas of Finance, Manufacturing, Procurement, and several corporate functions. While the program already benefits from strong product governance and an experienced delivery team, we are looking for an enterprise architect who can bridge business objectives, operational needs, and technology directions to build a cohesive and sustainable enterprise vision.

This role is intended to help our clients answer the following strategic questions:

• How do the Finance and Manufacturing functions fit into the future operating model?
• How do ERP initiatives support this vision?
• How can this vision be communicated effectively to senior leadership?

This is a pragmatic, results-oriented role with strong execution involvement, combining responsibilities in enterprise architecture, business architecture, solution strategy, and transformation leadership. If you enjoy analyzing complex challenges, influencing decisions, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, CGI offers you an exciting opportunity to make a tangible impact on the success of our clients.
