Description

Where: Fully on-site in Brussels, Belgium. Would you like to join the leading international intergovernmental organisation? NATO's technology agency runs a vast Programme of Work — dozens of projects modernising the Alliance's digital backbone. It needs a senior architect at the portfolio level to keep that programme coherent: making sure every project aligns with NATO's technology strategy, traces cleanly to its capability roadmaps, and doesn't overlap or collide with what's already being built. This is architecture with a governance lens. You'll review incoming project gate documents, weigh their technical requirements against NATO's strategies and design-authority guidance, surface overlaps, gaps and dependencies, and turn your findings into the dashboards and decision-support the portfolio leadership relies on. You won't own the decisions — you'll make sure the people who do have sharp, well-structured analysis in front of them. What you'll do Review project gate documents and assess coherence with NATO's technology strategies, initiatives and capability roadmaps Trace projects to the underlying capability work; flag overlaps, duplication and dependencies Check project scope against the CTO Technology Strategy and Technical Design Authority guidance Turn operational data into structured analytical views, dashboards and governance reports Consolidate findings with architecture, engineering and portfolio stakeholders Keep everything documented, version-controlled and traceable What you'll bring 5+ years in NATO IT or a NATO agency; proven grasp of NATO structures, working groups and military operations Expert information architecture and systems engineering, plus C4ISR policies and directives (5+ years) 4+ years in business analysis, architecture taxonomies and governance reporting Strong stakeholder engagement across analysts and decision-makers Hands-on with cloud, AI, cybersecurity, networks and DevSecOps Solid data analysis; confident reporting in English A degree in data science, engineering, information systems or business administration (or equivalent experience) Nationality of a NATO nation An active NATO Secret clearance (must already be in place to apply) If keeping a huge technology programme coherent sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you — apply and we'll be in touch quickly if it's a fit. It should only take a few minutes to complete the brief questionnaire.
