JOB ACCOUNTABILITIES Enterprise Architecture Governance & Standards • Define and own the enterprise architecture vision and multi-year roadmap spanning systems, data, and security across all domains • Establish and maintain enterprise architecture principles, standards, and reference architectures consumed by all three domain teams • Chair the Logistics Architecture Review Board (LARB) — the governance forum for all significant technology decisions across Logistics domains • Act as the final authority for major architecture decisions, trade-offs, and exceptions across the entire logistics technology estate • Approve or reject domain deviation requests from architectural standards; own the architecture governance cadence and approval rules • Define the external integration framework — how DP World Logistics platforms connect to carriers, customs systems, and trade networks Platform Architecture & Integration • Define the platform-first strategy — identify capabilities built once and reused across all three domains to prevent fragmentation • Own integration architecture standards: API design principles, event-driven patterns, async messaging, and data exchange protocols • Maintain living reference architectures: microservices patterns, deployment topologies, scalability playbooks, and resilience patterns • Own cloud architecture strategy (GCP, Azure, AWS) — including multi-cloud standards and cloud-native platform engineering practices • Define Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD architecture expectations, container orchestration standards, and observability frameworks • Track and drive remediation of platform-level technical debt across all three domains through a consolidated roadmap Logistics Data Strategy & Data Architecture • Own the Logistics Data Strategy — define the vision, architectural approach, and roadmap for how data flows across the logistics technology estate • Define the data architecture: data mesh patterns, domain data ownership boundaries, and shared data platform approach • Establish data governance standards: master data management, data quality frameworks, data lineage, and metadata management • Define streaming and batch data architecture — event sourcing, change data capture, and real-time analytics pipeline patterns • Architect the AI/ML platform: model serving infrastructure, ML Operations (MLOps) patterns, and responsible AI governance guardrails Logistics Information Security Architecture • Own the Logistics Information Security architecture standards and reference patterns applied across all logistics domain and platform systems • Define and enforce zero-trust network architecture, identity and access management (IAM), and privileged access management (PAM) • Own cloud security architecture: landing zone design, Cloud Security Posture Management, and workload security standards • Define application security architecture standards: secure SDLC, threat modelling, API security, and secrets management • Lead security architecture reviews at LARB; partner with CISO on compliance architecture (SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR) • Align with Enterprise Information security standards Logistics Operational Automation Technology Strategy • Own the Logistics Operational Automation Technology Strategy covering Robotic Process Automation (RPA), AI-driven workflows, and intelligent process automation • Define reference architectures for RPA deployments, AI-driven workflow orchestration, and human-in-the-loop automation patterns • Evaluate and standardize the automation technology stack — RPA platforms, AI/ML workflow engines, and process mining tooling • Identify high-value automation opportunities across all three domains in partnership with Domain SVPs and VP Product COE • Own the integration architecture between automation systems and core logistics platforms; govern automation decisions at LARB Architecture Team & Domain Architect Leadership • Build and lead a high-performing central architecture team: Principal Architects covering Platform, Data, Security, and Operational Automation • Own the dotted-line governance relationship with domain architects embedded in each of the domain SVP organizations • Run the architectural community of practice: standards reviews, architectural patterns library, and cross-domain architectural learning • Coach domain architects to raise architectural quality across the organization — not just govern from a central function • Act as senior technical advisor to Domain SVPs and the Logistics EVP on complex architectural trade-offs and investment decisions • Represent DP World Logistics Technology with cloud providers, strategic technology vendors, and external architecture forums QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline • Master’s degree in computer science (preferred) Experience • 24+ years in technology, with 10+ years in senior enterprise or solutions architecture roles across complex, multi-domain environments • Proven experience defining and governing enterprise architecture strategy across multi-domain or multi-product technology organizations • Track record of leading architecture governance at scale — architecture review boards, standards bodies, or equivalent governance function • Demonstrated experience building and leading high-performing architecture teams including principal-level architects • Experience in logistics, supply chain, trade finance, or freight technology strongly preferred • Hands-on experience in data architecture, AI/ML platform architecture, and operational automation at enterprise scale #LI-VG1
