Architecture roles can focus on enterprise roadmaps, solution decisions, application portfolios, or technical standards. Look for the decision scope and stakeholder responsibilities described by the employer.
Role overview: This guide covers Enterprise architect responsibilities and related dictionary examples. Related titles and scope vary by employer; use the role description to identify the work this position owns.
Dictionary skills to compare
These are examples from the built-in dictionary, not a list of skills required for every job. Compare them with the wording of the specific posting.
These dictionary examples are grouped by the kind of work they describe. Use the job posting and your own evidence to decide which belong on your resume.
Describe the systems and constraints considered, the options evaluated, and your contribution to the decision. Link a framework name to work where you actually applied it.
Connect architecture to delivery
Explain how a design or roadmap informed implementation, governance, or migration. Avoid suggesting that a diagram alone demonstrates ownership of an enterprise transformation.
Technical competencies
Enterprise Architect work commonly includes architecture decision, roadmap, or solution design, but ownership varies by employer. Use examples tied to the scope described in this guide and the specific job posting.
Explain business and technical constraints considered in an architecture decision.
Describe options and trade-offs and how affected teams reviewed the recommendation.
Connect target-state or governance work to delivery plans and accountable owners.

Resume writing guidance
Prioritise skills that appear in the actual posting and that you can support with work, study, or projects.
Demonstrate each important skill through a task, your contribution, and evidence rather than a keyword-only list.
Use a keyword naturally in context; do not repeat it to manipulate screening systems.
Describe your proficiency and ownership honestly, including the limits of your exposure.
Tailor examples to the responsibilities and technologies in each job description. A keyword match does not guarantee ATS selection.
