Description Vacancy:

Ad-interim Area Architect Engineering Journey

Your responsibilities:
Take responsibility for the business architecture in area Engineering Journey of tribe Tech4Engineering. This area is responsible for delivering the “one central place” for all engineers in the bank, dubbed Nexa, as well as for IT Service Management. Many products are in active development. To mention a few:
• IT Service Management is in the middle of being migrated from the end of life Service Manager 9 (on-premises) to HaloITSM (in the cloud). This is priority number one for the area.
• The Configuration Management System (CMS) collects and relates data on IT assets from several sources, including the old and new CMDBs. The CMS is realized on top of the bank’s Global Data Platform, on Azure.
• Nexa Portal is a Backstage-based portal environment, combining and offering detailed information on squads and the applications they own, actionable insights on compliance and vulnerabilities, services that can be ordered, and much more.
• Nexa Intelligence builds on top of the CMS and adds information from our virtual organizational structure, where engineers are working in squads, in areas and in tribes. This layer exposed relevant, contextual data to Nexa Portal.
• Priority number two for the area is co-creation, where we allow teams across the bank to contribute to both the Nexa Portal and Intelligence in a variety of ways while we remain in control of both platforms, which requires that we organize ourselves to support that, both technically and operationally.

You will (functionally) lead the solution architecture team in the area. This team consists of 6 solution architects. Each architect is linked to one or more squads in the area to guide and oversee the work in these squads in line with the target architecture and area purpose. The solution architecture team needs your guidance to ensure they deliver the right things, at the right time, in the right way.

You will be part of the area triangle, where business (the area lead), tech (the tech lead) and architecture (you) together set and steer on realizing the vision for the area and the Engineering Journey for the bank as a whole.

Furthermore, you will be part of the Engineering business architecture team, consisting of 10 business architects working in this domain. The team is led by the lead business architect for Engineering and Data & Analytics, who is also acting as tribe architect for Tech4Engineering. You will report to him.

Requirements for the role:
• Master’s Degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
• At least 10 years of work experience with at least 4 years of experience in the field of Architecture.
• Strong leadership qualities with the ability to influence and guide stakeholders across various teams.
• Conceptual thinking: a strong conceptual thinker, capable of translating high-level strategies into practical solutions.
• Fully proficient in English required; Dutch also preferred.
