Provide architectural leadership to establish an
enterprise -wide
Agent Orchestration and Management Control Tower. The role will define and
guide the implementation of core capabilities that enable safe, scalable and
governed delivery of AI/automation agents across a
federated operating model,
while providing a
single pane of glass for visibility, control,
assurance and intervention.
Key Accountabilities
Architecture & Strategy
Define the
target architecture, reference patterns and roadmap for the Agent
Control Tower, aligned to enterprise standards and mining operational risk
expectations.
Translate
conceptual wiring into
implementable architecture covering
platforms, integrations, governance, and runtime controls.
Agent Lifecycle Governance
Architect
and standardize agent
registration, approval, validation and policy
binding.
Establish
permission‐based
discovery and cataloging of agents and tools across business units.
Ensure
lifecycle governance is embedded into federated delivery pipelines.
Orchestration & Control
Define
orchestration patterns to enable controlled agent invocation, tool access
and inter‐agent interaction.
Establish
control points (e.g. gateways/proxies, policies, contracts) to enforce
enterprise guardrails.

Assurance & Intervention
Architect
end‐to‐end
severability for agents (telemetry, health, cost, performance).
Define
assurance workflows to detect deviation, drift or policy breaches.
Design
intervention
mechanisms (e.g. throttling, blocking, kill‐switches) with full
audibility.
Enterprise Integration
Integrate
the control tower with
observability, security, ITSM, data and cost
management platforms.
Define
canonical data and event models to enable consistent reporting and
operational response.
Federated Operating Model
Establish
architecture governance, standards, and RACI for
federated agent
delivery teams.
Coach
teams, drive adoption of guardrails, and ensure architectural integrity at
scale.
