Lead Enterprise Architect

DLF is looking for a Lead Enterprise Architect with strong ERP and Finance knowledge to shape and drive the future of our global ERP and application landscape as part of a major business transformation program.

DLF is seeking an experienced Enterprise ERP Architect to define, govern, and evolve our global ERP architecture and ensure alignment with our business strategy.
