Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As an Enterprise Architect - Enabling Functions (m/f/d), you are responsible for the target architecture and roadmap for the enabling domain, ensuring that architecture decisions are compatible, standardized, and implementable.
- You do not work in isolation but as an active member of the architecture community: you work closely with the Enterprise Architect, other Domain Architects, and IT Architects to clarify cross-domain dependencies early, apply standards consistently, and provide orientation ('freedom-in-a-box') to delivery teams.
- You develop and maintain a future-proof target architecture and implementation roadmap for Enabling Functions (short- and long-term) across central business functions such as Finance, HR, and Supply Chain, with a focus on capabilities provided via core platforms like SAP and the Microsoft product suite, and ensure they serve as a living reference point.
- You establish domain-specific principles, standards, and guidelines as minimal viable architecture or guardrails ('freedom-in-a-box') that accelerate delivery and provide orientation.
- You ensure that architecture decisions align with the target architecture and architecture principles, prepare architecture artifacts in decision-ready formats and relevant committees (e.g., Project Start Architecture (PSA) maturity), and provide clear, sustainable decision-making foundations.
- You manage architecture topics within the Enabling Functions, continuously maintain the target architecture, take responsibility for the Enabling Architecture Guild, keep active communication channels open, moderate goal conflicts, and provide directive advice at the Business/IT interface without disciplinary authority, but with clarity and commitment.
- You support the target vision 'simple, digital self-service, data-driven, reliable & secure, scalable' through architectural decisions that promote standardization and end-to-end thinking; success is reflected in a well-maintained target architecture + roadmap as a reference, decision-ready artifacts based on clear principles/guardrails, early clarification of dependencies, as well as increasing standardization, fewer variants/handovers, and strengthened self-service capabilities.
