About this job

Douglas Service GmbH

Within Architecture & Application Portfolio Management, you shape the evolution of our Enterprise Architecture at Group level. At the core is the development of an effective Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) practice in LeanIX — as the foundation for reliable transparency across business processes, applications, data and technologies.

How do you make sure your architecture expertise doesn't stay conceptual, but leads to target pictures and solution options that genuinely work in everyday business? A team driving architecture across domain boundaries is looking forward to supporting well-founded decisions and advancing our IT landscape together with you.

TASKS WITH IMPACT

You build up Enterprise Architecture Management and LeanIX as the central architecture repository, establish it, and continuously develop the metamodel, fact sheets, roles and governance processes further.
You create transparency across the IT landscape by structuring, documenting and making usable business processes, business capabilities, applications, data, technologies, interfaces and dependencies.
You establish data quality standards and clear responsibilities, actively address data gaps, and position LeanIX as a reliable basis for decision-making in day-to-day business.

You drive stakeholder enablement together with business functions and IT, run trainings, roadshows and reviews, and embed architecture processes sustainably into everyday work.

You accompany selected architecture topics and business domains independently — from analysing the current landscape to developing target pictures, evaluating options, and preparing architecture sketches and impact assessments for business functions and IT.

You further develop reusable architecture principles, standards and guardrails, and identify potential for standardisation and rationalisation.

You assess new requirements and technologies for their impact on the enterprise architecture, prioritise them, and translate them into concrete architecture measures.

You bring several years of experience in enterprise architecture and complex IT landscapes.
Very good practical knowledge of LeanIX or comparable EAM tools, together with experience in target architectures, portfolio management and transformation processes, sets you apart; experience in a retail environment is a plus.
Strategic thinking allows you to translate the overall architecture into clear target pictures and development options.
Structured, traceable documentation of complex interrelations in LeanIX is a natural part of your way of working.
Building sustainable relationships with business departments and IT is part of your day-to-day work, and you actively foster exchange within the architecture community.
In daily operations, you embed architecture processes in a hands-on way and ensure they are used sustainably.
Driving the ongoing development of the IT landscape, you identify synergies as well as standardization and rationalization potential.
Whether with internal or international stakeholders, you communicate confidently in English and German in a business context.
