About the Role
The Program Architect serves as the single point of accountability for architecture across a large-scale ADMS transformation program. This is a high-impact, mission-critical leadership role requiring deep expertise at the intersection of grid operations, real-time systems, and enterprise transformation. The position drives end-to-end technology strategy, architectural decisions, and execution discipline across a multi-year, multi-vendor initiative.
The Program Architect is accountable not only for maintaining architecture integrity but for ensuring delivery outcomes such as grid reliability, outage reduction, system resilience, and operational scalability. You will act as the final decision authority for all program-level architectural trade-offs, ensuring every choice aligns with measurable business and operational results.
The Mission
The ADMS transformation program delivers a modern, integrated grid operations platform combining outage management (OMS), distribution management (DMS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). This initiative is a cornerstone of grid modernization, driving improved situational awareness, reliability, and scalability of distribution operations.
The program spans real-time grid monitoring and control, outage detection and restoration, network modeling and analytics, and DER integration and orchestration. It integrates with GIS, AMI, EMS, and enterprise systems to create a cohesive ecosystem for grid management.
Day in the Life
In this role, you will translate enterprise architecture strategy into actionable and enforceable program architecture, defining technology investment direction and challenging internal and vendor-driven roadmaps. You will serve as the primary architectural advisor to the CIO/CTO, executive steering committees, and program leadership, driving decision-making in high-impact, ambiguous situations.
Your work involves critically evaluating and challenging vendor solutions, designs, and delivery approaches to prevent over-customization and ensure long-term platform sustainability. You will lead the design of real-time, event-driven, and high-availability architectures supporting SCADA and grid operations, ensuring alignment across IT/OT boundaries.
You will also identify and mitigate systemic architectural risks across a multi-system, multi-year program, leading architectural recovery efforts for at-risk components. Your focus extends to ensuring the architecture is deployable, operable, and production-ready, defining patterns for resilience, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and observability to support go-lives and phased rollout strategies.
