Solution Architect

In 2027, the focus will be on disseminating ideas, guiding projects, maintaining and adjusting architectures, and transferring them to the standing organization.

• The program is looking for a minimum of two to a maximum of three solution architects.
• The architect will ensure the coherence, quality, and applicability of the architecture within the information transition and sustainably embed it in projects and the standing organization of a public entity.
• Together, the solution architects will translate developed architectural frameworks into concrete choices and solutions, ensure consistent application by projects, and adapt architectures when new insights or developments arise.
• The emphasis is on connecting different architectural domains, guiding implementation, and making knowledge and working methods transferable.
• Close collaboration with the realization project manager, involved project teams, product owners, architecture board, and relevant parts of the standing organization.
• The result is a coherent and up-to-date architecture that guides the further development of information provision and can be independently maintained and applied by the organization.
• There is an architecture team consisting of a lead, an architecture coordinator, and various solution architects. This team works closely with the central architecture function of the organization.
• The solution architects take a leading role in terms of content in the assigned projects and are accountable for the quality of the solution.
• The activities will peak in the first quarter of 2027 and extend into the second quarter.

What you will do.

• Further develop, disseminate, and apply the architecture.
• Guide projects and realization.
• Ensure coherence in the information landscape.
• Maintain and further develop architectures.
• Transfer and embed in the standing organization.
• Disseminate the target architecture, program architecture, and underlying architectural principles within projects and the standing organization.
• Translate architectural frameworks into concrete design choices, guidelines, and action perspectives for project teams.
• Promote architectural awareness and create support for working under architecture.
• Monitor the coherence between the architecture and the three focus areas of the information transition.
• Guide projects in applying and, if necessary, elaborating the architecture.
• Prepare, update, and evaluate project start architectures (PSAs) and solution architectures.
• Test designs and realized solutions against established architectural frameworks.
• Identify deviations, dependencies, risks, and architectural issues and advise on appropriate solutions.
• Support project teams in making balanced choices.
• Keep existing architectural products up-to-date and incorporate new insights from projects and implementations.
• Assess the consequences of changes in systems, processes, data flows, and technical facilities for the integral architecture.
• Identify missing architectural products, ambiguities, and bottlenecks that hinder project progress.
• Advise on transition solutions and the desired development direction when the final situation cannot be realized immediately.
• Monitor the connection between the program architecture, project architectures, and the architecture of the standing organization.
• Make architectural products, principles, decision-making, and working methods transferable.
• Guide involved employees in taking over architectural tasks and responsibilities.
• Support the architecture board and other relevant bodies in safeguarding architectural principles.
