Senior (Lead) Architect (m/w/d) Strategische IT Architektur & Governance

As a transmission system operator, we secure the power supply for around eleven million people in Baden-Württemberg. We create the infrastructure for the energy transition by maintaining, optimizing and expanding the high-voltage network according to needs. With our network, we not only make the country an innovative power turntable in the heart of Europe, but also make the energy system of the future significant. Our special IT department ensures the stability and sustainability of the TransnetBW power supply network – with high-availability, high-performance IT and infrastructure systems that we operate independently in our data centers and continuously develop. Our responsibility also includes the safe operation of particularly critical systems and services that meet the highest safety and resilience standards – from “black-fall-resistant” interpretation to ISMS certification. We are currently driving forward the transformation of our organization: From the classic line structure, we develop into an agile, product-oriented organization that links IT and specialist areas even more closely. Here we think holistic and forward-looking: We actively shape the strategic development of IT at TransnetBW, anticipate budgets and risks and ensure the quality and sustainability of our services with a modern governance approach – always in line with the superior strategy of TransnetBW and the needs of our internal and external customers.
