• Establish a common data model, taxonomy, and standards for critical IT domains, including financial, forecasting and planning data, financial plan versus actuals, IT support and incident management, enterprise architecture, IT service catalog, enterprise capabilities, code, programs and projects, and execution backlog.
• Design and drive agentic AI frameworks and enabling architecture that support cross-domain natural language inquiries, conversational experiences, and chatbot-based access to trusted BoIT data.
• Define the semantic, metadata, and integration foundations required to enable AI agents and natural language interfaces to interpret, retrieve, and relate data consistently across architecture, finance, planning, support, portfolio, and execution domains.
• Partner with stakeholders across enterprise architecture, finance, planning, service management, portfolio management, and engineering teams to align definitions, ownership, quality rules, and data flows.
• Drive end-to-end mapping of relationships across business objects, systems, and processes to improve traceability between strategy, investments, services, applications, capabilities, delivery, and operational outcomes.
• Define and implement standards for data quality, stewardship, metadata, lineage, and lifecycle management across the BoIT ecosystem.
• Identify current-state gaps, redundancies, and inconsistencies across tools and repositories, and shape a pragmatic roadmap toward an integrated future state.
• Translate business and operational requirements into architecture-aligned data and tooling solutions that improve visibility, governance, reporting, and AI-enabled discoverability.
• Enable executive and operational reporting by improving the consistency and accessibility of enterprise data related to planning, financials, support, architecture, and execution.
• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions, decision forums, and governance reviews to build consensus and accelerate adoption of standards and tools.
• Support the evolution of enterprise standards, architecture artifacts, and tool capabilities that strengthen interoperability across the IT landscape.
