Enterprise Architect for DMI, Maps and Base Data

Enterprise Architect for DMI, Kort og Grunddata

Do you want to help create the framework and set the direction for IT architecture in a new, consolidated agency? Can you create an overview of capabilities and portfolio, identify synergies across an IT landscape, and communicate and anchor architectural decisions? Then the job as an Enterprise Architect at DMI, Kort og Grunddata might be something for you.

About the job and what you can expect

DMI and the Climate Data Agency are merging and will become DMI, Kort og Grunddata on 1 December. Together we will be responsible for a number of society-critical IT solutions and systems that must run 24/7. This includes the supercomputer infrastructure that we operate on behalf of a Northwest European collaboration, which every day produces weather forecasts for society, and Data Distributor, which daily delivers secure, stable and up-to-date base data to both public and private companies.

We are therefore now looking for an Enterprise Architect who can help us create the framework and set the direction for IT architecture in the new, unified agency. We come from two different approaches, where one has been to develop and operate most things in-house, while the other has primarily focused on outsourced development and operation.

Going forward, we want to decide more often between in-house development, standard systems and supplier solutions based on factors such as capability requirements, availability and economy, and this is where you and enterprise architecture come in. You will become part of a new unit that will be responsible for IT architecture, technology roadmap and implementation, and IT-related budgeting.

It is our plan that you will, among other things, work with

• Translate strategy into an overall target architecture and roadmap across business, data, applications and technology
• Create an overview of business capabilities, application portfolio and data and identify overlaps, synergies and technical debt so the IT landscape can be optimized
• Define and anchor the reference architecture, principles and standards that also support information security and robustness
• Advise management and portfolio management on investments, priorities and technology choices
• Participate in councils and steering groups and ensure that projects and procurements follow the common direction
• Support solution architects and projects with scoping, dependencies and reuse of common components
• Communicate the architecture and build consensus among stakeholders at all levels

About you and what you bring

This job is for you who have experience with IT architecture, have worked in practice with one or more architectural frameworks and are motivated by creating coherence across an organization rather than optimizing individual solutions. You have a broad understanding of the whole stack and can move from business and processes to applications, data and infrastructure. At the same time you have experience with governance, reviews and evaluation of solutions in a larger organizational context.

We imagine that you bring some of the following qualifications with you

• Relevant higher education in fields such as computer science, software development, IT management or engineering
• Experience with IT architecture from a cross-functional or strategic role and with architectural frameworks, preferably FDA or in an agile context
• Broad technical understanding of applications, integration, data, infrastructure and security
• Experience with both in-house developed and vendor-delivered solutions and an understanding of advantages and disadvantages of both
• Business understanding and experience connecting strategy, economy and IT, including tying architectural decisions to costs and benefits
• Strong communication skills and experience advising management and building support across professional environments, projects and development teams
• Ability to create an overview in complex contexts and switch between strategic and concrete levels with a pragmatic approach and focus on value
