Digital Performance Architect
About the role
JOB DESCRIPTION:
MAIN PURPOSE OF THE ROLE:
The Senior Digital Performance Architect defines and engineers the performance architecture of the Digital Solutions Group (DSG). This role establishes how value, quality, predictability, efficiency, and AI-driven cost structures are measured across product, engineering, operations, partnerships, and AI initiatives.
The role enables empowered teams to operate autonomously within clear, data-driven guardrails by embedding outcome-based measurement models and eliminating fragmented or redundant reporting. This position is foundational to DSG’s transformation toward outcome-driven performance management.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and maintain the DSG Performance Architecture spanning outcome models, delivery metrics, operational health, financial value realization, and AI cost transparency.
- Define and standardize KPI frameworks across product domains, TPO structures, and practices.
- Establish enterprise-wide measurement standards, data lineage principles, and governance models.
- Engineer scalable metric logic and performance visibility systems that reduce manual reporting.
- Enable the shift from feature-based delivery to outcome-driven performance management.
- Embed engineering flow and predictability metrics aligned with modern digital standards (e.g., DORA).
- Drive transparency and performance visibility that reduces dependency on informal networks and individual “hero” execution.
- Embed cost-to-value visibility models that connect engineering activity to margin impact and financial outcomes.
- Establish AI cost governance frameworks including model usage, token consumption, and infrastructure efficiency tracking.
- Integrate predictive analytics to proactively identify performance risks and margin impacts.
- Ensure metrics drive empowerment and clarity, not bureaucracy, by simplifying performance visibility.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and AI CoE to align performance guardrails.
- Provide structured performance insights and recommend metric-driven interventions to leadership.
- Operate as a cross-functional authority on performance architecture across DSG.
