    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • You lead the team of IT Architects and develop it into a true impact team: clear ownership, high standards, and architects who deliver measurable impact for our products and millions of retail and business customers — instead of just creating slides.
    • You define standards for our IT architecture and actively influence our IT strategy. You translate all of this into concrete implementation — in the IT master plan and in our architecture committees.
    • You are building a consolidated technology stack. Clear specifications, heuristics, and guidelines. With one goal: to enable our product teams with a scalable architecture.
    • You create transparency about our IT landscape (application maps, architecture domains, etc.). You derive clear, data- and risk-based decisions from this.
    • You drive integration and modernization. Less complexity, fewer siloed solutions. More scalability, efficiency, and future-proofing.
    • You manage the capacities and priorities of the IT Architects. Focus: maximum architectural impact. Architecture as an enabler - not as a bottleneck.
    • You advise across the bank with clear technical judgment, strategic vision, and transparent trade-offs. Always with a focus on impact for customers and the business.
    • You develop people and organizations. You coach, provide clear feedback, and set expectations. You create a culture where architects take responsibility and deliver real impact.

    Our expectations of you

    Education

    • Degree in (Business) Informatics or a comparable qualification.

    Qualifications

    • You lead clearly and coaching-oriented. You develop a team of 10+ employees into a unit with ownership and impact.
    • You persuade without formal authority. You create alignment and remain capable of action, even in the face of resistance.
    • You think from the customer's and the business's perspective. Architecture is a lever for value creation for you — not an end in itself.
    • Fluent in German and English. Tools like Jira and Confluence are part of your daily routine.

    Experience

    • Several years of experience as a Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, or in a similar technical leadership role - ideally in complex (highly) regulated environments.
    • (Nice to have) Experience in the banking sector
