This role is an internal ISG Architecture development and enablement role, focused on building and evolving architecture governance, risk, and analysis tooling used by ISG Architecture and its partner teams across Super Departments.

The “Forward Deployed” aspect refers to deep, hands‑on engagement with internal stakeholders and architecture processes, not client products or external delivery. The outputs of this role are internal tools, platforms, patterns, and governance mechanisms, not customer‑facing applications.

This role exists to help the architecture function adapt governance to the speed and volatility introduced by GenAI, while remaining audit‑safe, principled, and scalable.

Must Have

Build small services, scripts, CLIs, and internal utilities

Comfortable with REST APIs, JSON, async workflows

Can connect backend logic to lightweight UIs, notebooks, portals, or CLIs

Systems and data integration mindset

Pull data from APIs, documents, tickets, repositories, and architecture artifacts

Combine structured, semi-structured, and unstructured inputs

Secure handling of credentials and sensitive internal data

Expected

Heavy, responsible use of AI coding assistants

Robust human‑in‑the‑loop discipline

Reviews and validates AI‑generated output

Uses AI to accelerate thinking and execution, not replace judgment

Pragmatic use of LLMs for governance enablement

Surfacing governance signals and inconsistencies

Assisting with evidencing and analysis, not making autonomous decisions

Architecture, Governance & Risk Awareness

Elevated

Solid understanding of: Architecture principles, standards, patterns, and guardrails





The intent behind governance controls:

Where flexibility is appropriate

Where evidencing and rigor are non‑negotiable

Adaptive Governance & Risk Thinking

Awareness of multiple risk dimensions relevant to GenAI

Model and data risk

Security and privacy

Vendor dependency and lock‑in

Regulatory and audit sensitivity

Able to reason about risk‑based governance, including

Team and capability maturity

Scale and blast radius

Novelty versus precedent patterns

Designs tools that

Surface risk signals early

Escalate only when defined thresholds are exceeded

Governance Tooling & Enablement Responsibilities

Build and evolve internal architecture tooling that supports:

GenAI intake, triage, and readiness assessment

Architecture pattern alignment and deviation detection

ADR creation, analysis, and comparison

Architecture evidencing and audit support

Exception tracking and learning loops for governance improvement

Governance is delivered through

Tooling and automation

Embedded guardrails “not through heavyweight process alone.”

What Makes This Role Distinct

Embedded within ISG Architecture, not a delivery team

Uses engineering to scale governance capability

Enables many internal partner teams without owning external products

Continuously adapts governance mechanisms to GenAI’s pace of change

What This Role Is Not

Not a delivery or implementation role

Not traditional centralized architecture review only

It is an internal architecture enablement and development role, focused on making governance faster, smarter, and more adaptive through engineering
