Role Overview:
As a Solution Architect LeanIX & Signavio, you will lead the architecture, governance, and operating model for our Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Business Process Management (BPM) platforms. You will design and operationalize an integrated blueprint spanning application portfolio management, technology lifecycle, process modeling, and process mining, ensuring decisions are data-driven, compliant, and business-outcome focused. Youll partner with product, engineering, security, finance, and business operations to translate strategy into executable roadmaps, using LeanIX and SAP Signavio as core platforms.
Key Responsibilities:

- Align application and process portfolios with business capabilities, value streams, and cost-to-serve.
- Platform Architecture & Governance
- Design and evolve LeanIX Fact Sheet models, taxonomies, lifecycles, interfaces, and guardrails.
- Establish Signavio modeling standards (BPMN/DMN), process hierarchy, and process mining governance.
- Maintain architecture standards, decision records, and reusable templates.
- Define integration and extensibility standards, ensuring end-to-end architecture and process traceability using LeanIX and Signavio.
- Roadmaps & Rationalization
- Lead application rationalization, tech risk remediation, and cloud modernization mapping to processes.
- Drive process redesign and automation opportunities backed by mining insights and business cases.
- Drive interface rationalization using LeanIX insights informed by Signavio mining.
- Support transition planning, coexistence scenarios, and phased rollout roadmaps.
- Data & Integrations
- Own data quality, lineage, and synchronization across LeanIX and Signavio.
- Design integrations with CMDB (ServiceNow), CI/CD, ERP (SAP), HR, Finance, and BI (Power BI).
- Define ETL/APIs, metadata standards, and master data stewardship for applications, processes, and technologies.
- Observability & Insights
- Implement dashboards for risk, cost, lifecycle, compliance, change velocity, and value realization.
- Set requirements for traceability, auditability, and reliability across EA/BPM workflows.
- Leverage Signavio Process Intelligence outputs to inform transformation risk, simplification, and value realization tracking.
- Enablement & Adoption
- Build a Center of Excellence (CoE); run training, playbooks, reference implementations, and communities of practice.
- Drive change management and executive storytelling that translates insights into action.
- Delivery Leadership
- Provide hands-on guidance to delivery teams; review models, configurations, and reports for quality and compliance.
- Troubleshoot complex integration, data, and governance issues; lead PoCs to de-risk adoption.
- Provide architecture governance support for cutover readiness, dependency analysis, and go/no-go decisions.
Educational Qualifications:
- Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.
- Certifications in TOGAF, BPMN, LeanIX, SAP Signavio, or cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure) are a plus.
Required Skills:
- 912 years in enterprise architecture, process transformation, or platform architecture; 3+ years hands-on with LeanIX and/or Signavio.
- Proven delivery in large-scale enterprise environments with global, cross-functional teams.
Essential Skills:

- Portfolio rationalization, tech debt visibility, cloud migration mapping, and roadmap scenario planning.
- SAP Signavio
- Modeling with BPMN/DMN, process hierarchy, Collaboration Hub, and governance workflows.
- Process Intelligence (Mining): data models, event logs, connectors (SAP ERP/S/4HANA, ServiceNow, Jira), KPI definition, and root cause analysis.
- Identification of automation, compliance, and cycle-time improvements; linking models to controls and policies.
- Architecture & Data
- Business capability modeling, value stream mapping, decision records, and standards management.
- Strong data modeling, metadata management, and quality frameworks across EA/BPM datasets.
- API-first thinking, secure integration patterns, and role-based access with audit trails.
- Operating Excellence
- Practical knowledge of DevOps/SRE concepts for change traceability and release governance.
- Hands-on with Power BI/Tableau dashboards and storytelling for executive decision-making.
- Collaboration
- Clear, persuasive communication; ability to influence senior stakeholders and guide delivery teams.
