Expert Enterprise Architect (gn) full-time / part-time (hybrid)

Do you want to play an active role in driving a company’s growth and turning big plans into reality? Then join our team! You can look forward to exciting challenges, an inspiring environment, and a work culture that combines flexibility and collaboration – with our 60/40 hybrid model and modern offices in Ratingen as a hub for ideas. As part of our team, you will take on the following responsibilities: You proactively analyze the existing IT landscape to derive both functional and technical needs for action, and you develop a target IT landscape aligned with strategic goals and the business model, including a roadmap. Building, evolving, and managing the continuous maintenance of the EAM repository, as well as establishing an application portfolio and lifecycle management, are part of your responsibilities. You support the development of structures and processes to transform the company toward a data-driven business model. This includes topics such as cloud management, master data management, and integration architecture, where you collect all architecture-relevant functional and technical data and establish relationships between them. Defining and continuously reviewing architectural principles, as well as developing processes, models, methods, and tools for EAM, along with defining software architecture standards and rules, are tasks you handle with ease. You advise and guide departments and projects (product and project teams) on architecture-related issues and support the selection and development of relevant enterprise capabilities. Additionally, you assist in selecting optimal software architecture solutions (best of breed / best in class) and lead the IT Architecture Board (ITAB) as the authoritative body for architectural decisions.
