Architecture Senior Advisor at 091 Cigna Health & Life Ins. Co. in Bloomfield, Connecticut

Job Description:

A Solution Architect ("Senior Advisor" is responsible for ensuring the existence of a holistic solution for a given project or effort.  This typically results in artifacts describing the ’blueprint’ against which the project is executed, i.e. the applications, systems, integration points, processes, and infrastructure involved in (or impacted by) the solution.

The Solution Architect must ensure the solution is understood and can be carried-out by the teams who must deliver its contents.  This includes identifying the appropriate teams and their role in delivering the solution, as well as resolving their questions, issues, and concerns regarding the solution.  Moreover, the Solution Architect makes certain the solution takes into account the guidelines, constraints, and overall strategic direction set by Enterprise Architecture, Security (CIP), and Infrastructure planning (IT Ops).  This aspect of the role requires the Architect to know when and how to engage those teams, to collaborate with the teams in order to formulate a solution, and - when needed - to undergo the various review processes imposed by those teams.

Solution Architects are involved in all phases of the project lifecycle, from project inception (setting of an approach) through testing and implementation.  They are advisors to the Solution/Release Train Engineers, contributors to requirements, overseers of design, and responders to issues arising from testing and production support.  Often, they serve as representatives of the project and its solution to various stakeholders, business partners, and senior leadership.

A Solution Architect Senior Advisor is capable of leading a small team of Solution Architects within a particular project, acting as team leader and point-of-contact to the project team.  Solution Architecture Senior Advisor must be capable of contributing to the project planning process, and advises project managers regarding scoping issues, risks to plan, and general plan structure.  Finally, a Solution Architect Senior Advisor advises business partners regarding solution options, often helping to shape scope in the process.
