| Harvard University Information Technology (HUIT) is a community of Information Technology professionals committed to delivering service and technological solutions in support of teaching, learning, research and administration. We are recruiting an IT workforce that has both breadth in their ability to collaborate and innovate across disciplines – and depth in specific areas of expertise. HUIT offers opportunities for IT professionals to learn and work in a unique technology landscape and service-focused environment. If you are a technically proficient, nimble, user-focused and accountable IT professional who also connects with the importance of collaborating well in a team environment, we are looking for you! Reporting to the Senior Director of Harvard Enterprise Architecture, the Enterprise Architect will work with solutions architects and technologists across the University to help drive the definition and alignment of common technology principles and standards in support of academic, research, and administrative computing. The successful candidate has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the technology strategy of the Harvard IT community through collaboration, engagement, roadmap development, and innovation. The EA will consult with IT teams across the University — both HUIT and in Harvard’s schools — on tough technology problems or in areas that need greater alignment and collaboration. In doing so, the EA will focus on clear business outcomes and value for the organization. An essential requirement for this role is the ability to listen to multiple stakeholders, research and analyze effective options, effectively communicate solutions, and then drive alignment through virtual team structures to deliver successful outcomes for the university. This role will also help produce and facilitate the creation of EA advisories — guidance, best practices, recommendations, and reusable patterns — for the benefit of the Harvard IT community. The EA will also be an advocate for the distribution and adoption of these advisories to other IT teams. The EA will help facilitate and participate in the Harvard Architecture Review Group - a sub-group of HUIT’s Senior Leadership Team focused on peer-level architecture review, direction-setting, and rapid technology decisions. The role will help create multi-year technology roadmaps and strategy — through ongoing collaboration with other IT departments, through industry knowledge, and through focused innovation in support of Harvard’s IT objectives. The EA will be a presence in the higher education community and an advocate for both inter-operability and the creation and the re-use of reference architectures at Harvard. Working Conditions In light of the global pandemic, all interview and onboarding activity for HUIT will be conducted via telephone & Zoom video conferencing. Temporary work from home arrangements will be required for this position through June, 2021, and it is not yet known when traditional on-campus work will resume. Additional detail will be provided to candidates during the interview process.
