Our primary mission is to be the trusted advisor to the CIO while driving the Clean Core imperative. The Enterprise Architect has a broad end-to-end view of modern system architecture, where the Business Technology Platform (BTP) plays an important role.
We are dedicated to enabling Clean Core, aiming to simplify and modernize our customers IT landscape while reducing complexity and operational costs. By consolidating systems and streamlining processes, we strive to create a robust and agile infrastructure that supports the evolving needs of our business.

• Proven experience delivering enterprise business transformation through application delivery.
• Experience in end-to-end architectural design for hybrid solution landscapes.

THE ROLE:

Enterprise Architects play a crucial role in orchestrating the development of a holistic enterprise architecture model that supports established enterprise goals. To help companies’ future-proof their technology environment, we guide them from the select phase, where the NorthStar Enterprise Architecture is being created, through the adoption phase of Clean Core transformation, to the derive phase, translating the NorthStar Enterprise Architecture to its different SAP solutions, including BTP, realizing the Clean Core.
As an Enterprise Architect, you act as an advisor to the customer, leading them towards the next step of IT services by providing holistic advice and guidance, focusing on applications/solutions, industry needs, or technology.
