Enterprise Architect

Beschrijving

At Allianz Benelux, Enterprise Architecture is where business ambition, technology reality, and regulatory complexity meet. We are looking for an experienced Architect who can move seamlessly between business conversations and technical depth, and who thrives in a complex, fast-moving environment.

This is not a role for spectators. You will be jumping on moving trains while helping harmonize local Benelux landscapes with Allianz Group global standards.

Role Summary

As an Enterprise Architect, you are the linking pin between business, IT, and external partners. You translate strategy into clear architectural direction and help teams make decisions that work in practice, not just on paper.

Your Responsibilities

• Document and maintain enterprise architecture models in our Enterprise Architecture Management tool ADOIT.
• Model architectures using ArchiMate; this is a must-have.
• Switch fluently between technical EA language and clear, understandable business communication.
• Act as a trusted advisor to business stakeholders, from offer request and underwriting to claims handling, payouts, and financial flows.
• Support and guide multiple flagship transformation programs running in parallel.
• Navigate differences between Belgium and the Netherlands in customer expectations, regulations, and IT landscapes.
• Help harmonize local solutions with Allianz Group global standards while keeping Benelux market realities front and center.
• Handle intensive discussions and conflicting interests, always working toward solutions that stakeholders can accept.
• Represent and act as an ambassador for the Enterprise Architecture team across the organization.
