Vos missions
Great assignments await you with our key account clients in rich and varied environments
In relation with all IT Staff and the Head Office, we work as partners to the Business to identify, develop and deploy secure solutions with the best quality of delivery in alignment with requirements. In the European region, the team frequently delivers interim or transitional digital solutions while global platforms and products are still under development or not yet available. This requires a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach where architecture decisions must enable fast implementation while remaining aligned with future global integration.
As a Solution Architect, you will be responsible for designing and implementing technical solutions that align with the organization’s strategic goals, ensuring that all elements of the IT ecosystem work seamlessly together. Your mission is to bridge the gap between business needs and technical requirements, crafting scalable, reliable, and efficient solutions that address concrete business challenges.
You will play a critical role in analysing, designing, and overseeing the execution of end-to-end solutions, from inception through implementation. In the European regional context, this requires the ability to operate in time-boxed design cycles, providing architecture guidance that is sufficient to enable implementation without unnecessary delay.
The primary mission of a Solution Architect is to create solutions that align with both current and future business requirements, ensuring that systems are scalable, secure, and reliable. In Europe, this often involves designing fit-for-purpose regional solutions that respond to immediate business needs, while ensuring that these solutions can evolve towards or integrate with future global platforms once they become available.
You will work closely with business and IT stakeholders to understand business objectives, translate them into technical requirements, and architect solutions that fit within the organization’s technology stack and roadmap.
In doing so, the Solution Architect is expected to balance architectural quality with delivery speed, applying architectural depth selectively, and avoiding unnecessary complexity or excessive documentation when it does not add immediate delivery value.
The Solution Architect must be comfortable operating in a fast-moving regional environment, where pragmatism, clarity, and timely decision-making are essential, while still ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, security requirements, and long-term architectural direction.
Key Responsibilities of a Solution Architect:
1. Understanding Business Requirements:
1. Work closely with business leaders, product managers, and stakeholders to understand and clarify business goals and constraints in a time‑boxed and pragmatic manner.
2. Translate business needs into high‑level, implementation‑ready technical requirements, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives without delaying delivery through excessive analysis.
2. Technical Solution Design:
3. Design fit‑for‑purpose end‑to‑end solutions that address immediate business needs while respecting the organization’s technical standards and frameworks.
4. Consider scalability, performance, security, and compliance requirements proportionally to the context and criticality of the solution.
5. Select appropriate technologies, tools, and frameworks that enable rapid delivery, while ensuring the solution can evolve towards future global platforms where required.
3. Evaluating Technology Options:
6. Assess existing and proven technologies to identify pragmatic and efficient solutions aligned with regional delivery needs.
7. Recommend tools and platforms based on simplicity, integration feasibility, cost‑effectiveness, and time‑to‑delivery, rather than extensive exploration of emerging or experimental technologies unless justified.
4. Creating Solution Architecture Documentation:
8. Produce decision‑oriented architecture documentation (e.g. diagrams, flows, key integration points) that is sufficient to guide development and start implementation.
9. Avoid unnecessary or overly detailed documentation when it does not add immediate delivery value, while ensuring essential architectural decisions are clearly captured and communicated.
10. Ensure documentation is accessible to relevant stakeholders and is kept up to date to serve as a reference throughout the solution lifecycle.
5. Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams:
11. Work closely with developers, DevOps, security teams, data engineers, and project managers to support fast and effective implementation of the proposed solutions.
12. Ensure teams understand the architectural intent, constraints, and trade‑offs, enabling them to move forward confidently without waiting for exhaustive design artifacts.
6. Ensuring Scalability, Performance, and Security:
13. Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and reliable at the level required for current regional usage, with a clear path for future enhancement if needed.
14. Apply security and compliance practices consistently but pragmatically, aligned with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements.
15. Design systems to meet performance targets, balancing efficiency and reliability.
16. Integrate security practices into the design, considering data protection, encryption, access control, and regulatory compliance.
7. Overseeing Solution Implementation:
17. Provide architectural guidance and oversight during implementation to ensure solutions remain aligned with the agreed design without becoming a delivery bottleneck.
18. Act as a pragmatic problem‑solver, proposing adjustments or alternatives quickly when constraints or issues arise.
19. Facilitate clear communication between technical teams and stakeholders to maintain alignment and momentum.
8. Quality Assurance and Risk Management:
20. Define and monitor quality standards for the solution, ensuring that it meets both functional and non-functional requirements.
21. Identify potential risks or limitations within the architecture and proactively mitigate them, ensuring resilience and reliability.
9. Continuous Improvement and Technology Strategy:
22. Stay updated on industry trends, new technologies, and best practices to improve future solutions.
23. Contribute to continuous improvement by sharing lessons learned from regional deliveries and identifying opportunities for simplification or reuse.
24. Provide recommendations to improve existing architectures when there is a clear business or delivery benefit, rather than pursuing optimisation for its own sake.
10. Ensuring Alignment with Enterprise Architecture:
25. Ensure regional solutions remain aligned with enterprise architecture principles, while not blocking or delaying regional delivery due to incomplete global solutions.
26. Collaborate with enterprise architects to ensure future compatibility, clearly documenting assumptions and constraints where interim solutions are implemented.
