FUNCTIEOVERZICHT

The Senior Enterprise Data Architect will play a critical role in advancing Ralph Lauren’s Enterprise Data & AI Architecture by defining, operationalizing, and actively implementing enterprise data architecture standards, reference patterns, and platform guardrails.
This role combines strategic architecture leadership with hands-on execution, partnering directly with engineering and delivery teams to design scalable data solutions, accelerate adoption of enterprise patterns, and enable data-driven transformation across ERP+, analytics modernization, and AI initiatives.
The architect will act as a practitioner-leader, ensuring that enterprise architecture principles translate into working solutions, reusable assets, and measurable acceleration in delivery.

ESSENTIËLE TAKEN EN VERANTWOORDELIJKHEDEN

Enterprise Data Architecture (Strategy + Hands-on Design)
• Define and evolve enterprise data architecture principles, standards, and target-state models aligned with RL transformation priorities (ERP+, AI, omnichannel).
• Create and contribute hands-on to conceptual, logical, and canonical data models, ensuring alignment across domains.
• Actively support domain teams in designing scalable data models and pipelines, not just reviewing them.
• Establish domain boundaries, conformed entities, and authoritative data ownership models.
2. Reference Architecture & Reusable Patterns (Build + Implement)
• Define and implement reusable reference architectures and design patterns across: 
  • Data ingestion (batch, streaming, event-driven)
  • Transformation pipelines
  • Lakehouse and semantic serving layers
• Develop working reference implementations / accelerators (e.g., templates, sample pipelines, reusable frameworks).
• Partner with engineering teams to embed patterns directly into delivery pipelines.
3. Data Product Architecture (Execution-Oriented)
• Define and operationalize the enterprise data product model, including ownership, lifecycle, and product contracts.
• Actively guide teams in building production-grade data products aligned to enterprise standards.
• Establish hands-on frameworks for: 
  • Data product onboarding
  • Trust models (data quality, lineage, SLAs)
• Enable federated architecture while ensuring enterprise-level consistency.
4. Toolchain & Platform Standards (Hands-on Governance)
• Define and enforce architecture standards across RL data platforms: 
  • Databricks (Lakehouse, Unity Catalog)
  • Microsoft Fabric (Semantic layer, Power BI)
  • SAP Datasphere / BDC
• Work hands-on with teams to: 
  • Design data pipelines and platform integrations
  • Implement governance constructs (metadata, lineage, data quality)
• Drive architecture lifecycle using LeanIX and ADRs to ensure traceability and governance compliance. 
5. Strategic Program Architecture (Embedded Delivery Support)
• Embed within key transformation programs (ERP+, Data Platform, AI initiatives) to: 
  • Translate enterprise architecture into implementable designs
  • Resolve cross-domain design challenges
• Provide hands-on solution architecture support for critical programs requiring integration across systems, data, and analytics layers.
• Ensure reuse of enterprise patterns to reduce duplication and technical debt.
6. Architecture Governance & Review (Enable, Not Gate)
• Participate in EA governance forums (EAC, LEAB, TDA).
• Perform pragmatic design reviews with actionable guidance, not theoretical feedback.
• Support: 
  • Architecture compliance reviews (ACR)
  • Exception management via ADRs
• Act as an enabler to delivery teams, ensuring architecture accelerates—not blocks—execution
