Your role in the team
- You’re passionate about innovation and digital transformation—we are too! Our IT teams play an active role in shaping business processes and contributing to group-wide projects. We don’t leave IT to others—we do it ourselves. Join us and become part of our team, bringing your expertise to one of the most beautiful industries in the world, where you’ll be responsible for:
- Strategic design: Further development of the target architecture and roadmap for our system landscape—structured by business products (e.g., merchandise and procurement, logistics, sales and stores, finance) and platform products (cloud, integration, data, security).
- Transparency & overview: Maintain the capability map and application portfolio in the EA repository (e.g., ADOIT) to provide transparency on the current and target states, as well as gaps, duplicate solutions, and dependencies.
- Guidelines & Governance: Further development of our architecture guidelines and KPIs, defining new standards, maintaining the architecture log, and overseeing compliance.
- Committee work: Preparing complex topics for the Strategic Architecture Board and chairing the committee.
- Assessment & Decisions: Evaluation of initiatives, software selections, and operating models (SaaS, cloud, on-premises) against guidelines and the target vision: reuse before buy before build, replacement of legacy systems.
- Innovation & Trends: Assessing architecture and technology trends (e.g., cloud, data, AI) and translating them into a target vision and roadmap with clear added value.
- Management-level consulting: Advising executive management and business units on make-or-buy decisions, priorities, and dependencies between initiatives and products.
- Platform & Security interface: Joint development of standards for cloud, integration, data, and AI with the platform teams, as well as coordination with Security and Operations.
- Technical guidance: Guiding Solution Architects and fostering a shared understanding of architecture across product organizations.
