Founded in 1927, SICPA is a private Swiss technology company that supports effective governance and long-term prosperity for nations.

SICPA sets the pace for sovereignty, enabling governments to protect their citizens, their sovereign assets, and their economies. Primarily recognized for securing the majority of banknotes in the world, SICPA operates on five continents. Today, our sovereignty platform offers integrated solutions ensuring revenue mobilization, natural resources, health, brand protection, as well as digital sovereignty and secure public services.

We are developing our Enterprise Architecture practice and are looking for an Enterprise Architect to improve the alignment between our portfolio of IT applications and services and the evolving needs of the business. In this role, you will ensure that our applications and services offer optimal value for cost, support informed investment decisions, and contribute to long-term efficiency and transparency in IT and business domains.

As an Enterprise Architect, you will collaborate closely with business leaders, the Enterprise Architect, and IT teams, acting as a trusted strategic partner rather than in a solution delivery or design role. You will play a key role in bridging business priorities with IT capabilities, by defining and maintaining the organization's business architecture.

You will also operate beyond departmental and functional boundaries, as internal solutions are frequently extended to serve other business domains and external initiatives, requiring a coherent architectural view across the organization.

Your goal will be to ensure that business capabilities, processes, and value streams are fully aligned with our strategic objectives and supported by a coherent and future-ready architectural landscape.

ROLE

• Develop and maintain the Business Capability Map and ensure its alignment with strategic objectives.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to model value streams, business processes, and operating models.
• Facilitate workshops and discussions to identify capability gaps, redundancies, and transformation opportunities.
• Define and maintain business architecture standards and principles.
• Map business capabilities to applications and data assets in coordination with Application/Solution Architects.
• Support enterprise transformation, portfolio planning, and initiative prioritization using business architecture artifacts.
• Provide business context for solution and technical architecture decisions during project planning and design.
• Contribute to the definition of the target architecture from a business perspective.
• Participate in governance processes to ensure architectural compliance and documentation.
• Participate in cross-departmental and cross-functional initiatives, ensuring that internal solutions designed for one business domain are reusable, scalable, and integrated with other departments and potentially external projects.
• Act as a connector between business domains, aligning architectural decisions between departments to avoid duplication and maximize the value of shared internal solutions.

PROFILE

Technical Skills:

• Experience with ERP, CRM, or other enterprise systems (e.g., SAP, Salesforce) is a plus.

Soft Skills:
