[Hiring] Enterprise Architecture Director @The Cigna Group

Role Description

As a Senior Architect supporting US Employer Enterprise Architecture, you will help shape architecture across a portfolio of business and technology domains. You will connect business strategy, capabilities, information, applications, platforms, and operating models into a coherent enterprise direction; align domain initiatives to target states; and develop value-based roadmaps that balance near-term delivery with long-term simplification, resilience, and growth.

In this role, you will partner broadly across Enterprise Architecture, Technology, Product, Operations, Data, and US Employer business teams to influence decisions, align stakeholders, and bring clarity in ambiguous and fast-changing environments. You will work with domain leaders to shape capability roadmaps, identify cross-domain dependencies, and sequence investments that improve business outcomes, technology agility, and operational effectiveness. You will bring an outside-in perspective on market, healthcare, and technology trends while helping teams converge on practical, value-driven architecture choices.

This role requires strong influence and innovative problem-solving to translate business needs into technology strategy and architectural direction. You will operate with high autonomy—executing from intent, not instruction—and proactively drive progress from problem framing through aligned decisions and outcomes as a trusted partner and advisor at all levels of the organization.

Depth in every domain is not required; success depends on establishing clear enterprise direction, connecting decisions across domains, and partnering effectively with domain, solution, platform, data, security, AI enablement, and operations teams.
