Director Cloud Architecture

• Define, own and continuously evolve PVH's global AWS cloud architecture strategy and target state, aligned with enterprise technology, infrastructure, cybersecurity, application and business strategies.
• Serve as the recognized enterprise authority for Cloud architecture, providing final technical direction and authoritative recommendations for material cloud architecture decisions across PVH.
• Anticipate technology, business and industry developments and translate them into strategic cloud capabilities, architectural roadmaps and investment priorities for PVH.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to senior IT and business technology leaders on cloud strategy, architecture, transformation, risk and investment choices.
• Create innovative solutions to unique, highly complex enterprise technology problems where established cloud patterns or standard approaches do not adequately address PVH's requirements.
• Translate complex technical issues into clear strategic options, recommendations and consequences for senior technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Establish enterprise reference architectures, principles, decision frameworks, standards and technical guardrails that shape cloud adoption globally.
• Determine and document architectural trade-offs across resilience, security, performance, operational complexity, cost, sustainability and delivery speed.
• Provide architectural leadership for multi-year strategic transformation programs and ensure near-term delivery decisions remain aligned to the long-term target architecture.

• Own the architectural direction for PVH's global cloud foundation and landing-zone capabilities across regions and business domains.
• Define, in partnership with Security and Network domain leaders, enterprise standards for, as example, account strategy, identity and access, networking, connectivity, DNS, logging, monitoring, encryption and security controls.
• Drive the evolution from infrastructure-centric patterns toward reusable, automated, policy-driven and self-service cloud platform capabilities.
• Define the architectural approach for multi-region resilience, disaster recovery, workload placement, service continuity and recovery patterns across critical enterprise workloads.
• Ensure global cloud foundations can support diverse regional, regulatory and business requirements without creating unnecessary fragmentation or technical debt.
• Provide senior architectural input into major technology selections, strategic partnerships and commercial decisions with material cloud implications.

• Set the enterprise architectural direction for Infrastructure as Code, policy as code, cloud automation and platform engineering, including Terraform and modern CI/CD practices.
• Identify opportunities to introduce cloud-native services, automation, AI-enabled operations and emerging AWS capabilities that materially improve PVH's technology landscape.
• Lead evaluation of emerging technologies and, where appropriate, establish new architectural patterns and adoption strategies before they become broadly standardized within PVH.
• Sponsor proofs of concept and technical experiments for high-impact or unprecedented architecture challenges and translate successful outcomes into reusable enterprise capabilities.
• Drive simplification by eliminating unnecessary manual processes, legacy dependencies and duplicated platform capabilities.
• Maintain external awareness of cloud architecture trends, emerging technologies and industry practices and translate relevant developments into PVH strategy.

Cloud Migration, Modernization & Transformation Provide enterprise architecture leadership for global workload migration and modernization into AWS, including strategic data center exit initiatives.Determine target migration and modernization approaches for complex workloads, including rehost, re-platform, refactor, retire, retain and adoption of cloud-native or managed services.Challenge migration designs that unnecessarily reproduce legacy data center constructs in AWS and define pragmatic alternatives aligned with PVH's target architecture.Resolve complex cross-domain architecture issues involving applications, networking, identity, security, data, integration, resilience, operations and regulatory constraints.Ensure transformation decisions balance immediate program objectives with enterprise architecture, long-term maintainability and avoidance of structural technical debt . Challenge vendor recommendations where they do not align with PVH's enterprise architecture, risk posture or long-term strategic objectives.Provide senior architectural input into major technology selections, strategic partnerships and commercial decisions with material cloud implications.

Embed cloud economics and FinOps principles into strategic architecture decisions and target-state designs.Provide architectural direction on material cost/performance/resilience trade-offs and challenge designs that create avoidable long-term cloud cost or commercial dependency.Partner with FinOps, Engineering, Finance and application teams to influence consumption models, service selection, lifecycle management and optimization strategy.Assess strategic technology choices for total cost of ownership, operational complexity, licensing implications and long-term business value.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Typically 12+ years of experience in infrastructure, cloud engineering, platform engineering or architecture roles.Demonstrated experience acting as a recognized technical authority for cloud architecture within a large, complex, global organization.
• Deep expertise in AWS architecture and enterprise-scale cloud foundations, with the ability to operate credibly from executive strategy through detailed technical design.
• Proven track record of defining global target-state architectures, technology strategies, enterprise standards and multi-year architecture roadmaps.Strong cross-domain expertise spanning cloud infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, identity, data, integration, DevOps, observability, resilience and operations.
• Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code, automation and modern cloud/platform engineering practices.
• Proven ability to influence senior leaders, architects, engineering teams and strategic partners across organizational and geographic boundaries without relying on direct authority.

Professional Skills

• Enterprise systems thinking with the ability to identify second- and third-order impacts across a complex global technology landscape.
• Exceptional problem-solving capability in ambiguous situations where precedent, standards or established solutions may not exist.
• Ability to move between strategic direction, architecture governance and deep technical detail while maintaining clear accountability for outcomes.
• Executive-level communication and the ability to frame complex architecture choices in terms of business value, risk, cost and strategic consequence.Strong judgment and independence, with the confidence to challenge established approaches and make difficult technical recommendations.
• Ability to build alignment across EMEA, APAC and the Americas and across multiple technology domains and strategic partners.
• Strong mentoring and technical-leadership capability, developing architects and engineers and raising the technical bar across the organization.
• Continuous external orientation with strong awareness of AWS roadmaps, cloud industry developments and emerging technology trends.
