Opportunity
You will be joining a new digital transformation program, providing architectural leadership across complex initiatives. You will play a critical role in shaping and driving target-state architectures and guiding implementation.

This is a hands-on Architecture role for professionals who thrive on technical depth, problem-solving and influencing outcomes at scale, rather than people management or traditional delivery oversight.

Your duties will include:

  • Leading the design and direction of cloud (Azure), data, solution or security architectures
  • Producing high-level designs, architectural blueprints, roadmaps and governance artefacts
  • Translating complex architectural concepts into clear, actionable work packages for the team’s architects and workload
  • Represent technical scope of the program to key stakeholders
  • Actively resolving complex technical challenges across multiple technology domains
  • Influencing senior stakeholders and shared-service partners to align architectural outcomes
  • Working directly with programs to shape target-state architectures and guide implementation
  • Executive level reporting, executive briefs and board papers to reflect technical progress
  • Act as a conduit between Architecture team and the Executive and business sponsors

Skills and Experience we are looking for:

  • Lead Architecture background within federal government or large enterprise (not people or project management focused)
  • Proven experience designing enterprise-scale cloud, data, solution or security architectures
  • Strong capability in developing high-level designs, architectural standards and governance frameworks
  • Ability to engage hands-on with complex technical problem-solving
  • Experience influencing stakeholders across large, federated or government environments
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate architectural direction clearly
  • You will personally drive architectural outcomes rather than oversee or interpret work created by others – however you will lead technical direction, effort and reporting to the business on progress.
