<h5><br><strong>Status:</strong> Full-Time / Permanent<br><strong>Location:</strong> Remote<br><strong>Reports To:</strong> CIO <br><strong>Salary:</strong> $175,000-$220,000, dependent on experience level and skillset</h5>
<h5><strong>About the Role</strong></h5>
<p> SavATree is seeking a Head of Enterprise Architecture & Engineering to shape and build the enterprise technology backbone powering customer experience, field enablement, operational scalability, enterprise platforms, analytics, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities.</p>
<p>This role requires a full-stack enterprise mindset across enterprise applications, APIs, integrations, Azure cloud platforms, enterprise data, digital backbone capabilities, automation, engineering standards, and AI enablement.</p>
<p>This is not a pure governance or ivory-tower architecture role. The ideal candidate is a principal architect and builder – equally comfortable defining future-state direction, solving complex technical problems, partnering directly with engineers and vendors, influencing enterprise decisions, and helping delivery teams execute.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will bring experience enabling modern digital ecosystems through scalable enterprise architecture. While this role does not own digital products directly, it plays a critical role in enabling customer and employee-facing capabilities through APIs, reusable services, enterprise integrations, shared data models, identity, workflow orchestration, and scalable platform design.</p>
<p>Success requires a player–coach mindset with the ability to move fluidly between executive conversations and technical depth.</p>
