We are looking for an Enterprise Architect for our Wholesale Finance capability with previous experience in the Wholesale Finance area. Having domain knowledge around finance processes like R2R, P2P, O2C etc. But also with a strong competence and knowledge around modern Digital & IT architecture. Capable of leading the way in defining a Wholesale finance architecture for the future. You will be part of the Supply Chain Development organization and have an assignment into the Wholesale Finance capability area. The Enterprise Architecture function is a key enabler and driver in the ongoing transformation journey of the IKEA supply chain business and operations.

What you will do

• Define, lead and take ownership of the Wholesale Finance architecture work. Setting the vision and direction for different digital platforms/products and technology enablers within the area
• With an agile mindset, co-create and build the target state and provide roadmaps and incremental outcome focused transitions needed to reach the wanted position
• Secure architectural guidelines, design principles and lead architectural governance and anchoring through different fora's and artefacts
• Build relationships, collaborate and align with stakeholders on different levels across the organization. From senior decision makers to the delivery teams in execution. Drive impact and influence through clear and structured presentations and communication
• Besides your "daily" assignments you will get engaged in different opportunities and challenges across the organization. Acting as a speaking partner and contributor on different topics, spanning from the strategic level to specific solutioning issues
• In essence you will lead, design, organize, collaborate and communicate.

This is a senior position, so we believe that you have:

• Previous experience working with similar responsibilities in the past and have experience from the Wholesale Finance domain.
• It is not a must with an architectural background you could have been working in other technology/digital related roles like leading products, engineering, tech strategy or other tech related functions. Of course, there needs to be an interest in architecture and having an architectural mindset in the role. But most important is your personality and your ability to take ownership and leadership, building relationships, communicate and manage stakeholders on different levels.
• Technology wise, the main platform within the area is SAP ERP and additional knowledge around Infor M3 is a bonus.

Besides the ERP platforms there will be a wide range of technology topics to cover. Example topics could be Data & Analytics, Automation, AI & ML, Integrations, API & events, Standardization, Digital and Cloud engineering and more. We do not expect you to be the expert in all areas, you will have time and opportunity to upskill and learn as we go.
