Job Description & Summary



Pwc Luxembourg is hiring an IT Functional Architect M/F/D. What if it was you? 

 

Your mission:    

The IT Functional Architect (also acting as a Business Architect) is responsible for the strategic and cross-functional design of IT solutions. This role ensures that IT systems are functionally coherent, aligned with business capabilities, and integrated into the broader enterprise architecture. Unlike a Functional Analyst (who works at the project level), the Functional Architect operates at a macro/enterprise level, shaping the functional landscape and guiding solution design across domains. The position bridges business and technology, ensuring solutions are both technically viable and strategically relevant. 

 

Be a part of our team where you will:

• Maintain and evolve business architecture structures (capabilities, services, processes, organizational mappings). 
• Define conceptual architectures and decompose product options aligned with IT strategy. 
• Ensure interoperability across domains and design standardized, reusable functional services. 
• Evaluate solution options, balancing value, complexity, and feasibility. 
• Collaborate with UX designers for user-centric design. 
  

• Work with business process teams and stakeholders to identify opportunities and drive improvements. 
• Align expectations across Business Analysts, Functional Analysts, and business sponsors. 
• Act as a bridge between Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Project Teams, and Business representatives. 
  

• Support project initiation and documentation activities, including preparation of specifications, HLR documents, and input for RFPs or vendor assessments when applicable. 
• Facilitate Application Portfolio Management and monitor project execution for architectural alignment. 
• Follow implementation phases, identify deviations, and propose corrective actions to maintain architectural integrity. 
  

• Collaborate with Data Services to define data flows supporting functional needs. 
• Manage contracts, licenses, and budgets related to functional architecture tools. 
  

• Mentor Functional Analysts and promote architectural thinking across teams. 
• Collaborate with peer architects and analysts to ensure coherence and shared understanding. 
  

• Hold a Master’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field;
  
• Have 5 to 10 years of experience in IT, including roles in functional architecture, business analysis, or solution design;
  
• Demonstrate proven experience in designing functional models and structuring business capabilities across domains;
  
• Show Architecture design and modeling expertise: proficient in designing functional and business architectures using modeling tools (UML, ArchiMate, ARIS) and in applying architecture methodologies (e.g., TOGAF) to real-world scenarios; 
  
• Have Process and capability structuring skills: skilled in structuring business processes and capability maps to ensure solutions are scalable, coherent, and aligned across multiple domains and organizational layers;
  
• Show system integration and Data modeling proficiency;
  
• Have exposure enterprise-level transformation projects and cross-functional initiatives;
  
• Are fluent in French and English, any additional languages are considered an asset;
