Company Overview
A leading financial institution in Singapore, established in 1932, is on a journey of transformation to become Asia’s leading financial services partner for a sustainable future. The organization leverages technology and creativity to deliver innovative solutions, support career growth, and create lasting value for clients and communities.

Role Purpose
Lead the enterprise data and artificial intelligence (AI) architecture strategy and blueprints that govern how data is collected, secured, processed, activated, and monetised across the bank. Act as design authority across programmes to ensure solution designs conform to the target state and deliver business outcomes aligned with the enterprise architecture roadmap.

Key Accountabilities

  • Enterprise Blueprints & Roadmaps: Define and maintain the target-state Data & AI architecture (e.g., data mesh/lakehouse, streaming, analytics, MLOps, metadata/lineage) and domain roadmaps aligned to business strategy and regulatory obligations
  • Cross‑Domain Design Authority: Chair or participate in design reviews for initiatives on the Data & AI domain spanning channels, core banking, risk, finance, and compliance; adjudicate architecture decisions and manage dispensations with clear remediation timelines
  • Standards, Patterns & Reference Architectures: Publish and evolve standards for data modelling, eventing, ML lifecycle, feature stores, model risk controls, privacy-by-design, and responsible AI; drive adoption through architecture governance gates
  • Solution Guidance & Quality Assurance: Partner with solution architects and engineering leads to shape designs (batch/stream, APIs, real-time scoring, vector stores/RAG, feature pipelines) and assure conformance to blueprint pre-build, during build, and pre-go-live
  • Risk, Controls & Compliance: Embed data quality, lineage, retention, encryption, and access controls; ensure designs meet data privacy, model risk, and operational resilience requirements across jurisdictions
  • Value Realisation & Metrics: Define measurable outcomes (e.g., time-to-model, reuse of data products/patterns, cost-to-serve) and track via OKRs; inform investment prioritisation through architecture insights
  • People & Capability: Coach solution architects and engineers; curate reusable reference implementations and run patterns guilds to uplift Data & AI architecture competency across the organisation

Experience & Competencies

  • 10–15+ years in enterprise/solution architecture, with at least 6 years leading data/AI architectures at scale (streaming, batch, lakehouse, analytics, ML/GenAI)
  • Proven ownership of enterprise data platform modernisation and MLOps across multi-cloud or hybrid environments
  • Strong grasp of data governance, lineage/metadata, model risk controls, and responsible AI practices, including privacy and security-by-design
  • Hands-on expertise with major cloud data/AI platforms (Azure Synapse/Fabric/ML, AWS Redshift/SageMaker, GCP BigQuery/Vertex AI), streaming (Kafka), orchestration, catalog/lineage tools
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication across business, technology, risk, and compliance; able to influence senior leaders and arbitrate design decisions
  • Demonstrated ability to define new architectures, lead cross-domain programs, and drive adoption of standards and patterns with measurable outcomes

Expected Certifications (nice-to-have)

  • Architecture: TOGAF or equivalent
  • Cloud/Data/AI: Azure Solutions Architect Expert; Azure Data Engineer or AI Engineer (or AWS/GCP equivalents); Databricks Professional; SnowPro; DAMA CDMP
  • Security/Privacy: CISSP/CCSP or equivalent; data privacy certifications are advantageous
