SUMMARY:
Lead the enterprise architecture moving delivery management capability into Targetprocess

POSITION INFO:

Enterprise Delivery Systems Architect

Targetprocess Portfolio Governance & Jira Cloud Enterprise Integration

Role Purpose

The Enterprise Delivery Systems Architect will be responsible for leading the architectural design, governance and migration strategy for the organisation's enterprise delivery ecosystem, with a strong focus on consolidating portfolio-level strategic visibility, delivery governance and enterprise reporting capability into Targetprocess.

This role is critical to ensuring the structural integrity of the delivery ecosystem supporting core IT, Digital Commerce, Media, Rewards, FinTech and related technology domains across Africa's largest retail technology estate.

The successful candidate will define how portfolios, programmes, value streams, governance structures, reporting models and executive visibility are enabled through Targetprocess, while ensuring effective integration with Jira Cloud Enterprise and Jira Plans for PI-level planning and team-delivery execution.

The role requires a senior architect who can operate across enterprise agile delivery, platform migration, delivery telemetry, reporting integrity, governance design and cross-platform integration architecture.

Target-State Context

The organisation is evolving its enterprise delivery tooling landscape to create clearer separation between team execution, PI-level planning and portfolio-level governance.

The target state is as follows:

• Jira Data Center is being migrated to Jira Cloud Enterprise.

• Jira Cloud Enterprise, including Jira Plans, will remain the platform for PI-level planning and team-delivery execution.

• Targetprocess will operate as the portfolio-level platform for strategic traceability, enterprise visibility, governance and executive reporting.

• Targetprocess will integrate with Jira Cloud Enterprise to provide trusted, accurate and governed roll-ups across portfolios, programmes, value streams, initiatives and delivery execution.

• Clear source-of-truth boundaries must be established to avoid duplicate administration, reporting inconsistency and delivery friction.
