Enterprise Architect Risk & Finance

Enterprise Architect Risk & Finance (Amsterdam)

At a glance

Enterprise Architects steer strategy towards execution. They do so through development of artefacts describing the implications for the future (this is Architecture Development capability) and via Architecture Control - where they make sure that what is being built by the IT change organisation is following the architecture direction. They work together with a variety of stakeholders, from high-level management and strategic theme owners to Process & Data Owners and Domain Architects. Enterprise Architecture sits within Change Management & Consultancy and enables Senior Management to make informed and data-driven decisions and develops sustainable architectures for business and IT dilemmas.
