Architect Senior Manager
with French and English
Architect Senior Manager with French and English
THE WORK
- Lead business requirements gathering and BRD authoring across assigned workstreams (KYC, Estates, CEP), working directly with client functional and operational stakeholders
- Define and own functional labels and process-to-solution traceability; produce functional design specifications to the standard required for AI-assisted development (Claude-supported client WoW)
- Hold and enforce BA scope boundaries — business & functional requirements and UAT sign-off; coordinate with technical architects on To-Be design
- Run structured workshops and discovery sessions in English with client business stakeholders; if fluent in French and/or Dutch, will be required to translate outputs into English-language delivery artefacts
- Participate in stage-gate reviews, CAB governance, and quality checkpoints; provide functional sign-off at each gate before build proceeds
- Identify scope gaps, assumption risks, and dependency conflicts early; escalate with appropriate documentation to Delivery Lead and PMO
- Support test strategy and UAT execution — reviewing test cases against functional specs, coordinating client SME involvement, and signing off on test outcomes
- Contribute to program-level architecture decisions where functional and technical concerns intersect — integration data flows, platform constraints, and cross-workstream consistency
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Minimum 8 years in business analysis or functional architecture, with at least 4 years on systems integration (SI) programs in a consulting or delivery environment
- Deep understanding of retail and commercial banking operations — KYC/AML processes, client lifecycle, estates and inheritance handling, complaints, and core banking workflows
- Proven track record of delivering BRDs, functional specs, and process designs on fixed-milestone SI engagements; comfortable with stage-gate delivery models and freeze protocols
- Experience working in dual-shore delivery models, bridging onshore client teams and offshore factories — able to translate business context into unambiguous specs for distributed build teams
- Strong stakeholder management — able to navigate client-side functional leads, offshore delivery teams, and exec sponsors within a complex governance structure
- Knowledge of English and French languages, min. C1 level required (both written and spoken).
- This position requires travel of approximately 25-30% to program locations.
Preferred Experience
- ServiceNow platform familiarity — particularly FSO, CSM, or workflow-based implementations in a banking context
- Exposure to regulatory-driven workstreams (KYC/AML, GDPR, MiFID) within Belgian or broader EU banking environments
- Experience with AI-assisted delivery models — using tools to accelerate requirements, design, or test generation with human sign-off gates
- Architecture certification (TOGAF, ArchiMate) or equivalent applied experience
