Coface seeks an EA-Functional Architect to design and maintain business and functional architectures for multiple domains, ensuring alignment with Coface's enterprise framework. You will translate strategic objectives into current and target state models, collaborate with sponsors, CIOs and architects, and drive roadmaps with governance throughout the initiative lifecycle.

Ideal candidates bring 10+ years IT experience, strong TOGAF knowledge, and fluency in French and English.

Qualifications

Master's level (Bac+5) in IT, engineering or related discipline.
TOGAF or equivalent architecture certification is an advantage.
Fluent French and English, written and spoken.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain the current-state and target-state architecture for assigned domains, capabilities, programs and initiatives.
Translate business strategy, operating-model changes and functional requirements into capability maps, functional decompositions, application impacts and transition states.
Contribute to the medium- and long-term IS roadmap by identifying target capabilities, application evolution, dependencies, sequencing, decommissioning opportunities and architecture risks.
Partner with business stakeholders, product owners, BT business domain managers and regional CIO teams to clarify needs, frame options and ensure alignment between local delivery and Group target architecture.
Work continuously with Technical and Data Architects so that functional intent, technical feasibility, security and data design are coherent and traceable.
Review project and product architectures throughout the lifecycle; assess compliance with target architecture, standards and principles, and provide clear recommendations, conditions or escalation points.
Prepare architecture committee material and decision records; document significant assumptions, trade-offs, exceptions and remediation actions, and follow them through closure.
Identify overlap, duplication, functional gaps, obsolete components and shadow IT within the assigned scope; propose rationalization and convergence opportunities that improve agility and reduce complexity and cost.
Contribute to the definition and adoption of enterprise architecture principles, methods, templates, standards, reference models and reusable functional patterns.
Maintain complete, accurate and usable architecture content in the enterprise architecture repository (Ardoq), including ownership, relationships, lifecycle, roadmaps and the evidence supporting key decisions.
Contribute to architecture metrics and reporting, including roadmap progress, standards compliance, application rationalization, technical debt and architecture risks within assigned scope.
Maintain knowledge of Coface's strategic plans, business processes, regulatory environment and technology landscape, and bring relevant market and technology insights into architecture recommendations.
Support selected strategic assignments such as IT strategic planning, transformation studies and IT due diligence for M&A cases, subject to appropriate confidentiality and NDA requirements.
