Senior Manager, Architect Manager

The AWMT Architecture organization serves as a centralized enabling function that defines technology strategy, target architectures, and engineering standards to drive consistent, scalable solutions across the enterprise. The team partners closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to align technology direction with business outcomes, accelerate delivery, and reduce risk through strong governance and architectural guidance. Architecture plays a critical role in enabling innovation by evaluating emerging technologies, advancing proof‑of‑concepts, and ensuring solutions are built for resilience, scale, and reuse.

 

The Senior Architecture Manager leads a team of architects responsible for shaping and executing this vision across key domains. This role ensures the development of reference architectures, decision frameworks, and technical standards that guide product and platform teams, while also influencing complex design decisions and resolving technical risks. The leader actively promotes alignment across decentralized delivery teams, strengthens communication of architectural strategies, and drives continuous improvement of the architecture function to deliver measurable value to both clients and crew.

 

Success in this role requires an exceptional people leader who attracts, develops, and inspires top technical talent while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and growth. The ideal candidate combines strong technical acumen with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, actionable guidance for senior stakeholders. They are a continuous learner who stays at the forefront of modern architecture, cloud, data, and AI trends, and who brings curiosity, adaptability, and strong communication skills to advance AWMT’s mission and long-term strategic outcomes.
