The Enterprise architect role is specifically focused on core 'Enterprise Architecture' as well as Solutions Archtiecture:

Enterprise Architecture - That is defining future state architecture, the roadmap to get there and filling the gaps (build/buy, integrate, productionize and enable the development organization to use the technologies).

Solutions Architecture - We mean architects deployed to projects from concept thru delivery to define the technology solution, assist the delivery team in being successful with the technologies (thru hands on mentoring) and governance (enforcing the enterprise architecture standards).
