🚀 Freelance Solution Architect – Automation Program (Belgium)
For one of our clients, we are looking for an experienced freelance Solution Architect to lead the design of a large-scale document automation transformation combining Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), workflow automation, orchestration platforms, and legacy system coexistence.
This is a hands-on architectural leadership role, not a business-analyst or delivery-execution position. You'll shape the target architecture, not run day-to-day operations.
🎯 What you'll do
- Map the current ("As-Is") document processing landscape across business and IT
- Design the future ("To-Be") automation architecture — API-first, event-driven, provider-neutral
- Define the transition roadmap: what to retain, modernize, replace, or retire
- Align AI/IDP capabilities with workflow automation and orchestration platforms
- Coordinate architecture across multiple vendors and delivery teams
- Define non-functional requirements (security, scalability, resilience, auditability)
- Produce architecture documentation, ADRs, and integration specs for handover
✅ What we're looking for
- 5+ years as a Solution/Technical/Transformation Architect on complex digital transformation programs
- Proven experience integrating document processing with workflow, BPM, or orchestration platforms
- Strong background in API-first, event-driven, SOA integration design
- Experience defining transition architectures and phased legacy modernization
- Multi-vendor coordination experience — comfortable challenging multiple providers
- Track record producing ADRs, architecture principles, and solution design docs
- Working knowledge of GDPR, NIS2, and auditability requirements
- Professional English required; French and/or Dutch a strong asset (Belgian market)
⭐ Nice to have
- AWS (or other hyperscaler) cloud architecture, incl. AI/ML services
- ECM/EDM experience (repositories, metadata, retention, legal archiving)
- Views on RPA — when to use it, and how to reduce dependency over time
- Mainframe/iSeries coexistence and decoupling experience
- TOGAF/ArchiMate certification and EA repository management
- Belgian healthcare, mutual insurance, or claims/reimbursement sector experience
- Familiarity with AI governance and EU AI Act implications
