Job description
The InfoSphere Architect leads/manages all aspects of the delivery of Public Sector BAO Solutions and related components, interfaces, conversions, HW/SW oversight (selection/sizing/configuration recommendation and execution) and deliverables.
The InfoSphere Architect understands business challenges and translates them into requirements/solutions.

The InfoSphere Architect will also review/qualify/integrate business requirements into the solution; determine the different models types needed for a project such as Atomic and Semantic; support/lead in the development of Data Integration architecture and overall Data Integration design of a project; approve the various artifacts; ensure enforcement of standard enterprise data element names, abbreviations, characteristics, and domains during the lifecycle of a project; and approve many of the project deliverables in order to ensure compliance with Architectural Standards.
Consultants will be located in an IBM office in the metropolitan area or at an IBM client site.
Generally projects and clients are within the Metro area and require very limited travel outside of the local area. However, some projects do require up to 100% travel for an extended period of time that is generally less than 1 year. Consultants are required to be flexible with their ability to travel and cannot refuse projects due to travel.
