Advise and Influence Senior Leaders: Serve as a trusted advisor to CIOs, CTOs, Chief Architects, and senior executives on architectural decisions and trade-offs. Bridge the gap between business priorities and technology execution, ensuring architectures support strategic objectives. Influence, coach, and mentor client technology leaders and Bain teams to build sustainable internal architecture capabilities. Enable Transformation at Scale: Guide Bain consulting and client teams in executing architecture roadmaps, identifying risks, and embedding effective governance. Ensure architectures evolve with agile and MVP approaches while maintaining coherence, resilience, and scalability. Partner with Bain consulting teams to integrate architecture seamlessly into broader digital and business transformation programs. Advance Bain’s Reputation and Growth: Contribute to Bain’s intellectual property and points of view on architecture, core banking modernization, and emerging technologies. Help advance Bain’s reputation in the market as a leader in enterprise and financial services architecture. Support business development by bringing architecture expertise into proposals, pursuits, and client discussions. Build and sustain trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, sponsors, and architecture communities. What You'll Bring 15+ years of experience in architecture and technology leadership, with proven ability to shape enterprise, solution, and data architecture strategies. Deep expertise in Financial Services (core banking, payments, and modernization) strongly preferred. Exceptional candidates with fewer years of experience but outstanding impact in modern architecture and transformation will also be considered. Demonstrated track record advising senior business and technology leaders on complex, large-scale transformation programs. Strong technical depth in domains such as cloud, data, AI, security, operational resilience, APIs, and event-driven design. Mastery of architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, ITABoK) and fluency in modern practices such as cloud-native and AI-enabled architectures. Exceptional communication and influencing skills; able to bridge business strategy and technology execution with clarity. Recognized as a contributor within the architecture or technology community, with experience sharing expertise and perspectives.
