Solutions Architect – Education Sector

Sydney | Hybrid (Anchor days Tuesday & Thursday)

If you thrive on variety and love wearing multiple hats, this role will keep you on your toes. Our client, a leading name in the education sector, is looking for a Solutions Architect who can design, lead, and deliver across a mix of infrastructure, data, and application projects – with a strong focus on student management, CRM, and finance systems.

This is a hands-on role for a true generalist who enjoys moving seamlessly between strategy and execution, and who’s equally comfortable in technical deep-dives and business discussions.

---

What you’ll be doing

• Taking full ownership of solution design – from concept through to delivery – across a diverse range of technology initiatives.

• Working across multiple domains including infrastructure, data, and enterprise applications.

• Collaborating with stakeholders to gather business requirements, translate them into technical designs, and ensure alignment with broader organisational goals.

• Producing clear, structured documentation and presenting architecture designs that connect business outcomes to technical execution.

• Leading architecture frameworks (such as TOGAF) and ensuring best practices are embedded and followed.

• Guiding teams through both high-level and low-level design processes, while maintaining a pragmatic approach to delivery.

• Engaging with vendors and internal teams to ensure solutions are robust, scalable, and fit-for-purpose.

• Supporting ongoing upgrades and re-architecture of key systems including student management, CRM, and finance platforms.

---

Essential requirements

• Proven experience designing and delivering end-to-end solutions across multiple technology areas (applications, data, and infrastructure).

• Strong generalist mindset – comfortable managing varied projects and adapting to shifting priorities.

• Deep understanding of architectural frameworks, ideally TOGAF, with the ability to tailor principles to a practical delivery environment.

• Skilled in gathering, analysing, and documenting business requirements and converting them into actionable technical solutions.

• Excellent communicator – able to articulate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Strong documentation discipline; capable of building structured design artefacts, frameworks, and reusable templates.

• Hands-on approach with the ability to manage the full solution lifecycle – from initial concept to final implementation.

• Experience collaborating with vendors, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless delivery.

• Background in education or large-scale public sector environments is advantageous but not essential.

Why you’ll love it

You’ll join a progressive education institution that values initiative, flexibility, and results. It’s an opportunity to influence architectural direction, simplify complexity, and deliver meaningful outcomes – all while working on a wide range of challenges that keep things interesting.
