Solutions architect

At NN Group, we believe the best solutions are built together. As a solutions architect, you’ll collaborate with business stakeholders and domain architects to turn complex IT challenges into smart, secure, and compliant solutions that drive the entire organisation forward; nationally as well as internationally.

What you are going to do

As a customer solutions architect at NN Group, you play a key role in major IT projects, connecting the needs of our business units with the standardised IT services provided by Group IT. Our domain architects design and manage specific areas, and the wishes of the business don’t always fit within these standardised solutions. That’s where you come in. You collaborate with business and IT domain architect to match the projects as well as possible, and in case of missing capabilities you work with the domain architects to drive innovation into their domains. You look at the bigger picture, working closely with the business to understand their requirements and ensuring they can adopt and use our platforms effectively. Your role is to make sure these solutions not only work functionally, but are also secure, compliant, and fully aligned with NN Group’s standards and regulations. Your main responsibilities include:

• Ensuring business requirements fit into the technical solutions NN Group IT | EET provides
• Supporting and coaching business units in onboarding their solutions onto our IT services and infrastructure
• Validating that implementations are secure, compliant, and aligned with company-wide architecture guidelines
• Collaborating with domain architects to resolve gaps between standardised offerings and real-world use cases
• Acting as a trusted advisor for the business, helping them adopt and benefit from the technologies we deliver
