Architecture Consultant

Requisition Number: 202975

External Description:

The Architecture Consultant is highly consultative and first seeks to understand the customer’s business, information, and application requirements. Based on those requirements, the Architecture Consultant will participate in the design and development of an architecture that will be aligned with the client’s business objectives. While an Architecture Consultant is not expected to be a business process engineer, they should have enough context in the business drivers to continuously communicate the business impact to both the IT and business constituents throughout the process.

 

The Architecture Consultant brings broad and specific technical knowledge and applies it to the solution development for a specific customer. The development of a client-specific architecture is a highly interactive and iterative process, moving from requirements and concept documents to detailed system design documents. The Architecture Consultant must be a strategic and innovative thinker who finds the right approach for the unique situation while still adhering to a solid set of architecture principles and advocated positions. An Architecture Consultant should not be tied to any one solution alternative, but should consider a full range of alternatives. To support their activities, the Architecture Consultant should be able to leverage standard design documents and Analytic Architecture materials by understanding how they can be customized and applied to the specific situation. The Architecture Consultant should make use of the Teradata Solution Methodology (TSM) to scope and define projects and implement project deliverables. The Architecture Consultant should participate in the development of TSM to make improvements where needed.

 

The Architecture Consultant defines a target goal state and the requirements to achieve the goal state from the current environment. This role will combine technical ability, business acumen, and an excellent understanding of industry standards and technology trends. The Architecture Consultant will be an integral team member, build relationships with clients (both business and IT), and demonstrate architecture concepts and details. The Architecture Consultant may be the Project Tech Lead on a project. The most senior Architecture Consultants will be asked to provide peer reviews of the architectural approach of other architects to ensure a good solution and as an opportunity to provide continuous mentoring of other Architecture Consultants.
