Job description

Last updated: 2 days ago Full-time

The client is looking for a business architect who steps in once an initiative has been prioritized, before it becomes a project. The work consists of framing the need, estimating its value, benefits, impacts and scope, then informing the decision on how the initiative should proceed. The role sits within a business analysis centre of excellence, which makes the line with business analysis thin: the distinction lies in the timing of the intervention (upstream, decision support) and in the nature of deliverables (business architecture, not detailed requirements). The experience threshold is high: ten years of relevant experience, including five in business architecture within transformation programs. Knowledge of insurance or of data and AI is described by the client as an important asset.

Target candidate: a business architect with at least five years of practice in transformation programs, used to turning a prioritized initiative into a value analysis and a decision-ready recommendation. The resume shows concrete business architecture deliverables, ideally modelled in Enterprise Architect, along with an understanding of organizational and strategic context; experience in insurance or in data and AI puts the candidate at the top of the list.
