Enterprise Architect
Digital Transformation - Zoetermeer
What are you going to do as Enterprise architect?
IT is the key enabler for achieving numerous strategic goals. Areas such as digital transformation, digitalization, and 'getting the house in order' are where IT can truly make a difference. As an architect, you are constantly focused on how IT can optimally contribute to realizing these business strategies.
In your role as an expert and advisor, you are involved in various short advisory projects where architecture plays a crucial role in providing sound advice. You assist executives, boards, CIOs, and management of leading organizations with questions like 'is my IT future-proof?' or 'is this the right IT investment at the right time?'. You guide them through your inspiring vision of current technologies and future developments in digitalization.
"The developments in IT are advancing rapidly and have a profound impact on both our personal lives and professional existence. This dynamic greatly appeals to me. Combined with the diverse roles and assignments I undertake for a wide range of organizations, it makes my workload at Highberg very diverse, varied, and challenging!"
