The Senior ITS Infrastructure Architect reports directly to the AVP, Cloud and Systems Services. You will provide
enterprise-level architecture leadership for secure, resilient, scalable, and cost-effective cloud, infrastructure, data, and AI-enabling
platforms. You will translate business and technology strategy into practical architecture roadmaps, standards, design patterns, and
solutions that support enterprise applications, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language model
workloads. Working across technology, security, data, operations, and business teams, the role guides solution design and delivery,
establishes governance and cloud guardrails, optimizes cost and performance, and ensures successful transition to operation while aligning
with SNHU’s enterprise architecture, security, compliance, service management, and operational standards.
