Job description

As a designer, IT architecture, you actively monitor opportunities offered by new technologies for the organization as a whole. You design components (software, data and infrastructure) to meet the needs and requirements of business projects based on architecture targets and supporting foundations. You also ensure that new components are compatible with existing ones. You lead and influence the design of detailed architecture, software and testing/implementation strategies for very large-scale, highly innovative projects and initiatives involving multiple sectors.

Coordination is critical, so you frequently interact with stakeholders working in a wide range of other fields. Interpersonal savvy is therefore essential. You lead, influence and serve as an expert advisor to your unit, senior management and decision-making bodies. More specifically, you will be required to :

• Help business partners identify and analyze needs, set priorities, and select and evaluate technology components for critical cross-sector projects
• Coordinate studies and the positioning and design phases. Recommend technology
• Develop and apply conceptual and logical models and carry out design, implementation and integration strategies
