Key Responsibilities and Focus Areas

Strategic Impact

• Partner with C-suite and business leaders on technology roadmaps.
• Support the development of a strategy or vision that aligns with organizational objectives.
• Lead the Investment Planning process (Technology Strat Plan) by:
• Gathering business drivers and demand,
• Balancing priorities,
• Defining regional technology strategy and roadmap.

Technical Leadership

• Lead end-to-end solution design for enterprise initiatives.
• Guide engineering squads through architecture reviews and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
• Own non-functional requirements, including performance, security, and scalability.
• Drive reusable architecture, design patterns, standards, and policy.
• Participate in and present at design forums to defend solution designs.
• Frame initiatives from the inception phase and provide support for Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA).

Cross-Domain Collaboration

• Mentor junior architects and senior engineers.
• Work closely with key business stakeholders—including underwriting, claims, operations, actuarial, finance, and distribution—to understand business objectives, products, and processes.
• Translate business requirements and pain points into viable solution options, clearly highlighting impacts, risks, and trade-offs.
• Participate in governance forums (such as architecture boards, design reviews, and project steering groups) to present and defend solution designs.

What You Will Do

Architecture Design & Governance

• Define and own solution blueprints for large-scale enterprise programs. Conduct architecture reviews, enforce architectural standards, and ensure that all designs comply with Chubb’s security and regulatory requirements—including GDPR, SOX, and local insurance mandates.

Cloud & Infrastructure Strategy

• Drive Chubb’s cloud transformation agenda across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. Define cloud landing zone patterns, establish FinOps guardrails, and set infrastructure-as-code standards using technologies such as Terraform and Kubernetes.

Integration & API Design

• Architect event-driven and API-first integration patterns using Kafka, MuleSoft, and REST/GraphQL APIs. Ensure seamless, secure, and scalable connectivity between core insurance systems—such as Policy, Claims, and Billing—and modern digital channels.

Data & Analytics Architecture

• Partner closely with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to design modern data architectures, including data lakes, data mesh implementations, and real-time streaming platforms. These architectures should enable advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) capabilities across the enterprise.

Security & Resilience

• Embed security by design throughout the architecture lifecycle. Implement zero-trust networking principles, robust identity & access management (IAM), strong encryption standards, and proven disaster-recovery and business-continuity architecture patterns.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Communicate complex architectural concepts clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Produce well-structured Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and present strategic architectural proposals and reviews to governance boards and executive leadership.
