Business Architect

About the job

We are expanding our Enterprise Architecture practice and seeking a Business Architect to enhance the alignment between our IT application and service portfolio and the evolving needs of the business. In this role, you will ensure that our applications and services deliver optimal value for cost, support informed investment decisions, and contribute to long‑term efficiency and transparency across IT and business domains.

As a Business Architect, you will collaborate closely with business leaders, the Enterprise Architect, and IT teams acting as a trusted strategic partner rather than a delivery or solution‑design role. You will play a pivotal part in bridging business priorities with IT capabilities, defining and maintaining the business architecture of the organization.

You will also operate across departmental and functional boundaries, as internal solutions are frequently extended to serve other business areas and external‑facing initiatives, requiring a consistent architectural view across the organization.

Your focus will be to ensure that business capabilities, processes, and value streams are fully aligned with our strategic objectives and supported by a coherent and future‑ready architecture landscape.
