You will lead governance, drive platform modernization, and ensure alignment with business strategies in a banking/financial services context. The role requires extensive experience, strong frameworks knowledge (TOGAF, ArchiMate), and fluent English.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in IT with at least 4 years in enterprise architecture.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field; TOGAF or comparable certification is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience defining target architectures and multi-year roadmaps for large, heterogeneous application landscapes and getting them adopted.

• Excellent structuring, writing and presentation skills; fluent English.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the enterprise target architecture (business capabilities, application, data, integration and technology layers) and the transition roadmap towards it.
• Build and keep current the application portfolio and capability heatmap; identify redundancy, technical debt and modernization candidates with a quantified business case.
• Own architectural principles, standards and reference architectures, and operate the governance process that applies them: intake, review, exceptions and decision records.
• Provide the architectural framing for portfolio planning: sequencing of BPR programs, platform investments and the core database migration readiness track.
• Run technology radar and lifecycle management: what we adopt, what we contain, what we retire, and by when.
• Assess vendor and low-code platforms against strategic fit, total cost and lock-in, and present recommendations to the Architecture Committee and executive management.
• Coach solution architects and delivery leads on enterprise-level thinking and act as the architectural voice in strategic planning forums.
• Experience with core banking modernization or with large database and platform migrations.
• Knowledge of banking regulation and its architectural implications (data residency, outsourcing, business continuity).
• Exposure to AI governance topics: model lifecycle, AI platform architecture, responsible AI controls.
