Enterprise Architect

With your energy, it's possible

Enexis, as one of the regional grid operators, is dedicated to drive the energy transition. The importance of digitalization has been recognized and confirmed by our Digital vision, which describes our ambition to have our infrastructure physical and digital equal within 9 years.

At the Digital Information Office (DIO) we work on 4 pillars; enterprise architecture, data process management, portfolio management and technology strategy, including the sector collaboration. Enterprise Architecture is key for our organization to enable these crucial changes. We are committed to make significant strides in this area.

As part of our team, you will play a crucial role in aligning IT capabilities with business objectives across the organization, ensuring we continue to meet our strategic goals and deliver value to our customers and stakeholders.

“We believe that digital infrastructure is essential to perform our physical infrastructure operations more accurately, predictably and efficiently so that our customers receive sustainable energy on time.

By 2034, our digital and physical infrastructure will be equal.”

You will work together with:

A diverse group of stakeholders across the organization to ensure alignment and drive our strategic initiatives forward. You will partner with our Business Owners to synchronize IT strategy with business objectives, ensuring robust and scalable solutions.

In addition, you will collaborate with System Architects to ensure system designs and implementations align with our overarching architectural principles and strategies. Engaging with Business owners, Epic owners, and Product managers within our BVK (”Beheer- en VerbeterKeten”) teams, you will prioritize and align business capabilities and IT solutions. Coordination with Solution Managers will be essential to integrate business requirements with technical solutions, ensuring comprehensive and effective system development as part of our overall Business Architecture.
