Role Overview

Reporting to the Manger Enterprise Architecture, this person plays a critical role in supporting Teck’s Architecture Review Board (ARB) and broader Enterprise Architecture function.

The EA Business Analyst partners with architects, domain collaborators, business partners, delivery teams, and ARB committee members to coordinate submissions, analyze impacts, standardize documentation, and publish clear architectural decisions with defined conditions, owners, and due dates. By stewarding EA workflows, data quality, and governance processes, this role helps the organization make well‑informed, scalable, and compliant architecture decisions.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with enterprise, solution, and domain architects to ensure architecture artifacts tell a coherent enterprise story.
• Analyze trends across ARB submissions to surface systemic risks, technical debt, emerging patterns, and opportunities for simplification.
• Create and evolve dashboards and analytical views that enable leadership to understand architecture health, risk exposure, and decision throughput.
• Proactively lead data‑quality improvements, influencing teams to treat EA data as a strategic asset, not an administrative task.

Process Excellence and Continuous Improvement

• Continuously evolve ARB and EA governance processes to be lean, predictable, and value focused, balancing speed with architectural rigor.
• Leverage AI‑assisted analysis and automation to improve process efficiency, decision throughput, and the quality of architectural insights, while maintaining appropriate governance controls.
• Define and maintain standards, templates, and guidance that make it easier for teams to do the “right thing” architecturally.
• Contribute to the maturation of enterprise architecture practices, including:
• Use metrics and collaborator feedback to measure governance efficiency and drive ongoing improvement.

 Partner Engagement & Communication

• Act as a trusted partner to ARB members, architects, product leaders, and delivery teams.
• Engage with business partner to manage and triage unplanned demand.
• Support unplanned or high‑urgency requests with clarity, pragmatism, and decision‑making.
• Translate architectural outcomes into clear, audience-appropriate communications for executives, project groups, and governance bodies.
• Collaborate with ServiceNow and enablement teams to automate and streamline architecture workflows, reducing manual effort and cycle time.
• Visibility across enterprise‑wide initiatives and strategic investments.
• Opportunity to shape and mature architecture governance as a business enabler, not a bottleneck.
• A role that blends strategic thinking, architectural rigor, and organizational leadership.

• Familiarity with ServiceNow‑based intake and workflow processes is beneficial.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools; Power BI and diagramming tools (Visio / Draw.io).
• Experience facilitating and continuously improving lean, well‑defined governance processes.
• Ability to standardize templates, guidance, and artifacts to improve consistency and decision quality, without creating unnecessary process overhead.
• Exposure to automation or AI‑assisted analysis to improve governance efficiency is beneficial.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to facilitate discussions and coordinate inputs across diverse participant groups.
• Ability to serve as a reliable collaborator with architects, delivery teams, and business partners.
