As a Business Architect at The Value Hub, you’re the advisor who bridges the gap between a client’s ambition and the reality of getting there. Using tools like capability mapping, value stream mapping and event storming, you help clients, from large enterprises to small businesses, figure out what needs to happen, both short and long term. And once the whiteboard scribbles are done, you’re the one who turns them into a plan people can actually act on.
Your role
- Advise & analyze: facilitate workshops such as capability mapping, value stream mapping and event storming to uncover what a client’s business really needs, short and long term.
- Align & translate: bring IT managers, CIOs and domain leads back to the same page, and turn the outcome of the room into a concrete plan.
- Build relationships: from a quick intake call to a long-term engagement, you listen first and pitch later.
- Share & coach: whether it’s a keynote for a room full of executives or a coaching session with a junior colleague, you make complex things simple.
Who you are
- You have a contagious customer-centric mindset.
- Your analytical skills bridge the gap between the business domain and the functional analysts and developers.
- You think innovatively and prefer working and learning in a scale-up environment.
- Solving problems is your middle name.
- Trends within business, entrepreneurship, innovation etc.? You’re up to date!
- You can keep your cool in stressful situations.
- Our Business Architects go the extra mile to meet a deadline, you too?
- You’re a go-getter, you’re accurate and curious
- You’re comfortable presenting to a room full of C-level executives just as much as to a hands-on technical team, and you don’t need a 50-slide deck to make your point. You’re a natural talker, and it shows.
Practical
Clients & Sectors
You’ll work across all sectors, from large enterprises to smaller businesses, on anything from a 3-day advisory assignment to being allocated to one client for day-to-day architecture work.
Location
Based out of Antwerp, Limburg, Vlaams-Brabant or Brussels, with room to look wider depending on the assignment. Remote work is standard, and clients can ask for on-site presence up to 1-2 days a week.
Team & reporting
Client-side, you typically report to a CIO, IT manager or IT director. Internally, there’s no strict hierarchy; you’re coached with a servant-leadership approach rather than managed top-down.
Tools & frameworks
Archimate, LeanIX, Sparx or TOGAF are tools we pick from when useful, never a rulebook we follow blindly. We stay pragmatic.
