What will your typical day look like?

As a Senior Manager in Deloitte's Technology Strategy & Transformation (TS&T) practice, you will lead enterprise architecture engagements for government and public-sector clients. You will work closely with senior executives and technology leaders to clarify business priorities, assess current environments, and define practical target architectures, operating models, roadmaps, and governance approaches.

You will provide senior oversight across complex programs, shape high-quality client deliverables, manage risks and dependencies, and guide multidisciplinary teams from strategy through execution. Your public-sector experience will help teams navigate government decision-making, procurement, security, policy, and delivery environments while keeping recommendations focused on measurable outcomes.

Beyond client delivery, you will help grow the GPS enterprise architecture portfolio by building trusted relationships, identifying opportunities, supporting proposals, and contributing reusable methods and thought leadership. You will coach practitioners, strengthen architecture capability across the practice, and help develop a high-performing and inclusive team.
