We pledge to make Prudential a place where you can Connect, Grow, and Succeed. In our transformation journey ahead as a group, we intend to build loosely coupled but tightly aligned components that are built expecting to be reused while anticipating change. We need to converge our varied workloads to common applications and solutions across the group. All applications need to adopt common services, platforms, architectural principles, and design patterns. We need to create framework for multi cloud adoption and migration. Build cloud suitability framework for workloads. Provide design for cloud implementation and automate software integration and deployment, provision infrastructure as a code. Engineering teams then design and build new capabilities & features, they need to begin with an end-state vision of how their applications and infrastructure will operate within this architecture and, then, engineer them accordingly. This sets a common set of parameters and tools for technology provides a consistent approach to security and reliability. In addition, Architectural agility has a causal relationship with potential strategic and operational benefits. The Enterprise Architecture team is responsible for enabling the above ambition and guiding the design and development of architecture framework and policies which guide our technology landscape for the group encompassing business, infrastructure, data, application and security architecture, that meet current and future enterprise business strategy. This role requires the candidate to have curate & apply depth of knowledge to help the Enterprise architecture team deliver the above. In addition, the role will focus deeply on: Asia, Africa geographies to guide their future architecture roadmap. Multi-cloud infrastructure with regards to policy and design framework. Work closely with GBS Business Design Lead, Chief of GBS and Functional Leads to establish new standards and develop target architectures for GBS Conduct architecture assessments and define target state solutions Provide the technical scope, defining and driving the best solution to meet the technical performance, scalability, flexibility, operations and capability needs of Functional teams Support the technology solutioning and estimating in proposals, planning and pricing Develop long-term technology strategies centered on business objectives Identify services that will improve performance, enhance support, and increase capabilities Envision and develop the long-term architectural direction, with emphasis on platforms/ Product reusable components. Formulate the Group Infrastructure policy and multi cloud framework and design, in conjunction with other domain architects representing Digital, Data, AI, Engineering, Security, operations and Local Business Units.   Build future state architecture to encompass business strategy with design consideration of convergence, modernization, cost efficiency, business functionality, interpretability, cloud native design, resilience, security and future proofing.   Build an ongoing view on emergent market landscape for technology
