As a Senior Advisor IT Architecture, you design IT solutions to meet the business needs of large-scale projects or programs using Desjardins Group’s architecture targets and shared platforms. You ensure consistency with the organization’s structure, as well as current and future needs, and ensure that new elements are compatible with existing architecture. You lead and influence the organization’s business partners and stakeholders on innovative, complex strategic initiatives related to solution architecture. Your initiatives require extensive, in-depth expertise across several IT fields, including data, applications, security and infrastructure. You make recommendations on IT development and implementation strategies that comply with architecture targets.
