The role is responsible for working with a variety of business and IT clients to provide assessments, designs and advice as necessary in a lean, value-driven organization.

The successful candidate will support the Director, Enterprise Architecture to mature QuadReal’s data-based AI capabilities, and will help unlock value through data-driven explainability.

Assist with modernizing and maintaining EA communication channels (e.g. SharePoint site) and collaboration workspaces. Contribute to the innovation process (idea generation, capture, triage, prioritization and delivery) and assist stakeholders with innovation initiatives. Perform configuration, coding and testing as required to support innovation prototypes and proof-of-concepts. Ensure timely, successful execution of experiments and prototypes. Work collaboratively with external partnerships that may support or accelerate QuadReal’s innovation efforts.
