Through a trust-based working method, we strengthen our collaboration and ability to meet future challenges. Do you have experience in developing IT architecture, both operational and enterprise? Then you could be our new colleague!

With us, you will help shape the university's future IT landscape, where we closely collaborate with operational representatives to manage projects, processes, and strategies.

In the role of IT architect, the focus will be on structures, processes, and integrations related to ongoing projects. You will ensure that solutions follow established guidelines and goals from a technical perspective, where you visualize and communicate complex technical solutions for different target groups within the organization. You will work closely with our project office, where several of our projects for system exchanges or system implementations are managed, acting as the link between the project office and the IT department.

You will review frameworks, strategies, and governance for overarching IT architecture. This will be done in close collaboration with other units within the department as well as with business developers, where you assess the consequences of technical choices and changes in the IT landscape.
