The Enterprise Systems Architecture (ESA) group serves as a strategic and technical leadership function within MTA IT, responsible for guiding the design, integration, and governance of enterprise-wide technology solutions. ESA oversees a portfolio of highly technical functions and software applications that are central to delivering secure, scalable, and cost-effective IT services across all MTA agencies and administrative units.

The group ensures that architectural decisions, knocks, delivery practices, and standards align with both agency-specific needs and the broader goals of the MTA enterprise. This includes managing the full lifecycle of business-facingreemua infrastructure-enabling applications, defining, and maintaining reference architecture models, and supporting investment, sustainment, or retirement decisions. ESA also oversees platforms such as network monitoring tools, configuration systems, and low-code environments that support field assets and operational continuity.

Through strategic planning, interface design, governance modeling, ESA promotes resilience, interoperability, and long-term sustainability of IT assets. The group plays a key role in mentoring teams, shaping technology vision, and enabling innovation across the MTA’s digital infrastructure, while ensuring alignment with business objectives and enterprise strategy.

Fellow will support strategic planning, architecture governance, data & analytics, and emerging-technology evaluation.

• Assist in creating or updating the MTA-wide enterprise architecture inventory: cataloguing key systems, data flows, interfaces, technical standards, or documentation gaps.
• Analyse business / technical requirements for upcoming capital-program-driven technology projects, to ensure alignment with enterprise architecture policies.
• Develop dashboards, matrices or visualisations (e.g. in Power BI) to show alignment, gaps, risks, or cost-benefit of proposed technology investments.
