About the Team:
At Invesco, our Technology organization is focused on enabling scalable growth, regulatory integrity, and innovation through strong architectural and data foundations. This team operates at the center of the enterprise, partnering closely with Technology Engineering & Infrastructure (TEI), Innovation & AI, and Security leadership to ensure alignment across all technology domains.
The group serves as the enterprise steward for architecture, data, and AI foundations, acting as both a strategic control plane and an enabler of delivery. By establishing clear standards, reusable platforms, and “paved roads,” the team enables engineering and product teams to move faster while maintaining consistency, security, and quality.
This organization operates as a force multiplier, not a gatekeeper—ensuring that architecture, data, and AI capabilities are embedded into delivery, scalable across the firm, and aligned to long-term business outcomes.
About the Role:
The Global Head of Enterprise Technology Services is a senior executive responsible for defining, governing, and continuously evolving the firmwide architecture and data foundations that enable scalable growth, regulatory integrity, and responsible innovation.
Reporting to the Chief Information & Operations Officer (CIOO), this role operates as the enterprise control plane for architecture and data, setting the north star vision, standards, and guardrails that guide technology decisions across the organization while deliberately avoiding direct domain delivery ownership.
This leader enables speed, reuse, and quality by making the right approach the easiest path for engineering and product teams. The role partners closely with Technology Engineering & Infrastructure, Innovation & AI, and Security leaders to ensure that architecture, data, and AI patterns are coherent, secure, and embedded into delivery execution.
Additionally, this role serves as a trusted advisor to executive leadership, providing clear guidance on technology risk, scalability, and investment trade-offs.
Responsibilities of the Role:
Own and evolve the enterprise architecture blueprint, including capability maps, reference architectures, and future-state technology direction across business, data, application, cloud, and security domains
Align business strategy, investment decisions, and technology execution through clear architectural trade-offs, including build/buy/retire decisions, sequencing, cost, and risk
Establish and govern architecture standards, decision rights, and guardrails to reduce fragmentation, duplication, and unmanaged risk
Chair or sponsor architecture governance forums, ensuring decisions are timely and accelerate delivery rather than slow it down
Define and own enterprise data strategy, governance, and operating model across the full data lifecycle
Ensure data quality, lineage, and regulatory compliance across all domains, supporting audit and risk requirements
Oversee enterprise data and AI platform architecture to ensure scalability, reuse, and security by design
Define and execute a multi-year roadmap toward data federation and domain-oriented data products
Serve as a trusted advisor to the CIOO, Executive Leadership Team, and business leaders across the organization
Partner closely with Risk, Audit, Legal, Compliance, and Privacy stakeholders to ensure alignment and regulatory integrity
Represent enterprise architecture and data in governance, risk, and investment forums, clearly articulating trade-offs between speed, cost, resilience, and risk
Engage externally with clients, regulators, and industry forums as appropriate
Lead senior teams across enterprise architecture, data and AI platforms, and business and information architecture
Build a culture of clarity, empowerment, and accountability, with architects embedded into delivery teams
Develop strong succession plans and leadership pipelines to ensure long-term organizational capability
Requirements of the Role:
15+ years of experience leading global technology teams across architecture, data, or engineering disciplines
Proven executive leadership experience within enterprise technology, architecture, or platform organizations
Demonstrated success operating within highly regulated environments, ideally financial services
Deep expertise in enterprise architecture across application, data, cloud, integration, and security domains
Strong experience with data platforms, governance models, and operating frameworks
Experience driving alignment between business strategy and technology execution
Strong understanding of AI, data strategies, and platform-based operating models
Proven ability to balance governance with enablement in federated delivery environments
Strong executive presence with the ability to influence across business, technology, and risk stakeholders
Experience advising leadership on technology risk, scalability, and investment trade-offs
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes
