  • Oversee governance, compliance reviews, tech debt, and lifecycle management.

  • Lead and coach the architecture team: recruitment, development, evaluation, and performance management.

Your Profile

  • Proven experience leading and coaching technical teams.

  • Strong understanding of both business processes and the technical aspects of IT solutions.

  • Experience with AI projects and data-driven solutions.

  • Familiarity with TOGAF and architectural best practices (certifications are a plus).

  • Experience with project methodologies such as Scrum, PM², or Prince2.

  • Fluency in Dutch and French is mandatory, with a solid command of English.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills at executive level.

  • Nice-to-have certifications: TOGAF, Azure Architect Expert, SAFe, Scrum Master, or Product Owner.

What's in It for You

  • A key role in the digital transformation of a well-established mobility player.

  • The opportunity to build IT and AI architecture from the ground up.

  • A modern and inspiring workplace equipped with the latest technologies.

  • An open and innovative company culture with motivated colleagues.
