About the role
Target Architecture & Modernization
- Define target architectures that are stable, scalable, and consistent across systems.
- Identify redundancies and complexities to propose simplification, rationalization, and modernization roadmaps.
- Reduce run costs of the information system and promote architectural frugality in overall design.
- Promote reuse of Group platforms, existing corporate assets, shared services, and standardized data capabilities when relevant, respecting standards and reducing technical debt.
- Assess transformation capacity and outline realistic, achievable transition paths. Support transition phases.
Strategy Alignment & Data Governance
- Ensure system alignment with corporate business objectives, data strategy, and Group IT roadmaps.
- Maintain cross-functional & technical consistency across data projects within the enterprise process landscape.
- Support data platforms by designing data flows, ingestion pathways, processing, storage, and exposure ecosystems.
- Provide technical architectural guidance for data-centric initiatives from initial design to final implementation in relation with data & functional architecture.
- Secure framework compliance involving data governance, data privacy, regulatory constraints, and standard management best practices.
- Integrate technical data architectures with the broader information system, including interoperability with applications, analytics, and reporting platforms.
Operational Impact & Documentation
- Produce gap analyses to assess technical and eventually functional impacts of architectural frameworks across IT domains.
- Identify technical risks and provide actionable decision-support inputs to enterprise stakeholders.
- Prepare architectural documentation and models to actively support architecture review processes and documentation
- Verify solution compliance with Group-wide guidelines by promoting platform-based design approaches, supporting standards IT products and integration.
- Manage technical inventories as the custodian of data asset records, documentation, and procurement validation processes.
- Generate technical inputs to support the formal drafting of Target System Proposals (TSPs).and usage reference of technologies.
Collaboration & Trend Monitoring
- Act as a key interface between Data teams stakeholders, IT departments, engineering units, and data governance bodies.
- Communicate and simplify complex bank architecture and data transformation strategies within governance committees.
- Monitor technology developments in data engineering, technical regulations, and privacy rules to evaluate innovation experiments.
