What’s In It for You
You will join our international Enterprise Architecture team, operating with high visibility from the CIO. In this role, you will take ownership of landscape-shaping initiatives, collaborating closely with the IT leadership team to drive the evolution of our technology ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities:

Required Expertise
To succeed in this role, you must bring a powerful blend of deep technical mastery and sharp business acumen:
- Technical Proficiency: Proven expertise across modern technology stacks, with a strong emphasis on at least one of the following topics: Cloud Infrastructure, the SAP solution landscape, Data Architecture, and emerging paradigms such as Agentic AI.
- Domain & Business Acumen: A good understanding of functional business domains — such as Sales & Marketing, Finance, Logistics, HR, or Subscription-based business models — enabling you to effectively understand the business context of each solution you review.
You will collaborate closely with Solution Architects from each functional domain, as well as with our cybersecurity team and business stakeholders to steer solution designs and ensure adherence to Global IT’s strategy, security policies, and architecture standards.
