Lead Solution Architect

Our organization is a prominent player in the rapidly evolving mobility sector. We support customers throughout all their journeys and continuously develop innovative, efficient and future-proof solutions.

In our modern work environment, we strongly focus on digitalization, cutting-edge technology and a human-centric approach. We are heavily investing in next-generation platforms and building a forward-looking IT architecture.

As a Lead Solution Architect, you play a strategic and technical key role in the organization's digital transformation. You translate business needs into sustainable technological solutions and hold end-to-end responsibility for IT and AI architecture.

Together with a team of IT architects and AI specialists, you shape a modern, scalable and resilient architecture. You report directly to the CTO/CIO/Director Digital and act as the chair of the Architecture Board, where you take the final decisions on solution designs.

• Develop Enterprise & Solution Architecture: capability maps, target architecture and standardized building blocks.

• Build and maintain the architecture runway.

• Translate business requirements into scalable and future-proof solutions.

• Create and oversee the organization's technology roadmap.

• Evaluate and select key technology platforms (e.g., Azure, Salesforce, Dynamics 365).
  
  

• Define and implement the AI strategy, governance and monitoring.

• Set integration standards: API-first, event-driven design, API governance and iPaaS policies.
  
  

• Work closely with the CISO on security-by-design, threat modeling, secure patterns, Zero Trust and NIS2/GDPR compliance.

• Oversee governance processes: compliance reviews, tech debt management, lifecycle management and steering committee participation.
  
  

• Lead, coach and further develop the architecture team.

• Handle recruitment, talent development and performance management.
  
  

• At least 8-10 years of relevant experience, including 3-5 years in a lead or managerial architecture role.

• Strong technical and functional understanding; able to connect business context with IT solutions.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Dynamics 365 and Salesforce.

• Familiarity with AI initiatives, data-driven architectures and integration patterns.

• Excellent stakeholder and executive communication skills (EN/FR/NL).

• Experience with project methods such as Scrum, PM² or Prince2 is a plus.

• Relevant certifications (TOGAF, Azure Architect Expert, SAFe, Scrum Master/PO) are considered an asset.
