About the job

We are hiring a Senior Lead Architect within the Enterprise Architecture (GT Enterprise Architecture) to drive architectural direction for major cross-firm programs at JPMorgan Chase. You will influence one or two multi-year architecture programs and help set the target state architecture, standards, and paved paths that our organizations rely on and that make adoption the easiest choice.

This is a strategic individual contributor role with broad scope but not a paper-based role. We expect you to remain hands-on, focus on our hardest technology problems, mediate between organizations that disagree on how to solve these problems, and be a trusted advisor whom leaders – especially other architects – can call when something is critical.

- Influence firm level architectural initiatives such as resilience, simplification, inventory, entitlements, or agentic development.
- Author reference patterns and narratives focused on emerging and existing technology challenges across the firm.
- Contribute to working groups and standards forums that set the bar for effective governance and help drive firmwide change.
- Mediate between organizations to converge on shared architectural target states and paved paths when localized approaches diverge.
- Stay hands-on and focus on our hardest technology problems including reviewing design and delivering code as needed.
- Influence the decisions of technology leaders across functions and help activate their organizations to adopt and champion architectural direction.
- Align architectural target states, standards, and paved paths with multi-year business strategies, operational constraints, and ongoing technology initiatives.
- Make the case for major technological investments based on architectural recommendations with clearly articulate tradeoffs (e.g., costs, risks, timelines).
Leverages enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate architecture analysis and decisioning across the product family, with human-in-the-loop validation and appropriate handling of sensitive data.

Experience delivering or driving large-scale architecture transformation programs that span multiple organizations.
Strong visual and written communication. We expect you to write strategic narratives, investment cases, and reference patterns.
Ability to work with minimal oversight, occasional checkpoints with leadership, and ownership of results across multiple horizons.
Working knowledge of financial services, our regulatory expectations, how these shape architectural decisions.
Ability to evaluate and integrate AI-enabled capabilities into enterprise-grade architectures while meeting resiliency, security, and auditability requirements.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

- Prior experience as a Lead Architect – or equivalent – at JPMorgan Chase or a comparable institution.
- Demonstrated record of delivering large-scale architectural platforms or programs that other organizations adopt.
- TOGAF, advanced architecture certifications in your technology domains (e.g., CISSP, AWS Certified SA - Pro, CDMP), or comparable credentials.
