Main responsibilities
- Your main responsibilities
- Define, own and continuously evolve the IT target landscape for the Trading Division – and drive the transformation that gets us there, hand in hand with business and IT.
- Keep a clear, living view of our trading landscape – trading, position and risk management, market data, pricing, settlement and regulatory reporting – and turn the gap to target into a pragmatic, prioritised roadmap.
- Shape solution designs across the trade lifecycle (front, middle and back office), balancing business needs, IT strategy, security, integration principles and operational reality.
- Be the go-to architecture partner for projects, product teams, vendors and system integrators, setting clear standards and guardrails for our ETRM, risk, market-data and settlement platforms.
- Safeguard quality where it matters most – reviewing architectural impact, risks, dependencies and technical design debt before major changes go live, with a sharp eye on data integrity, latency, resilience and auditability.
- Help steer architecture governance, design authority reviews, roadmap planning, portfolio priorities and make-or-buy decisions for the division.
- Make sure trading regulation (REMIT, EMIR, MiFID II) is designed into the landscape from the start, rather than bolted on later.

Application process
- You will define that target together with business and IT stakeholders, then steer our applications, integrations and data towards it – making sure every solution is fit for purpose, secure by design, scalable and genuinely aligned with how our trading and risk teams work.
- Spanning front, middle and back office across the full trade lifecycle, this is a role with real ownership, high visibility and the mandate to shape where we go next.
- Champion standardisation, simplification, application reduction and modernisation – always weighing business value, security, sustainability, quality and cost. Your impact
- This is where our value “Create value” comes to life.
- The decisions you make ensure the Trading Division’s technology investments deliver real, lasting business outcomes and support Alpiq’s long-term strategic direction.
- Because you define the target landscape with the business and steer us towards it, you strike the right balance between innovation and risk, ambition and operational excellence.
- You will be a trusted sparring partner to trading, risk and IT – the person who translates bold ambitions and regulatory demands into architecture and technology decisions that make future growth and transformation possible.
