The Role

This is a hands-on Solution Architect opportunity embedded within a mid-sized technology function at a purpose-driven financial services organisation. Working autonomously across a portfolio of concurrent initiatives, you will own end-to-end solution design across payments, business process automation, and integration, with meaningful exposure to customer-facing digital channels including mobile and online banking. The environment is collaborative and fast-paced, sitting within a team of around 40 spanning delivery, engineering, development, and application support. This role demands a proactive practitioner who can engage confidently with business and technology stakeholders, translate complex requirements into practical architectures, and context-switch across multiple workstreams without sacrificing quality or momentum. Infrastructure is vendor-managed, so the focus here is firmly on applications, integration, and process architecture.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver customer-facing digital solutions including mobile banking and online banking platforms, ensuring cohesive integration across applications, systems, and third-party services.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to business and technology stakeholders, providing proactive guidance on solution feasibility, architectural trade-offs, and risk, and influencing outcomes through clear, credible communication.
• Contribute to the development and governance of architectural principles, standards, and documentation, ensuring all solutions align with the enterprise architecture roadmap, regulatory requirements, and security policies.
• Collaborate with delivery teams, vendors, and cross-functional partners to ensure solutions are built as designed, managing dependencies across concurrent workstreams and maintaining delivery momentum throughout.

Skills & Experience Required

• 10+ years of solution architecture experience within financial services, ideally banking, with deep knowledge of banking capabilities including payments, business process automation, core banking, and digital channels.
• Strong hands-on expertise across integration architecture, APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms, with demonstrated ability to design and deliver solutions concurrently across multiple domains without infrastructure dependency.
• Proven track record delivering customer-facing digital solutions including mobile banking and online banking platforms, with the ability to operate autonomously, context-switch effectively, and maintain delivery quality across a varied project portfolio.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the confidence to provide proactive, candid technical advice to senior business and technology leaders and drive alignment across complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
• Tertiary qualifications in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline; TOGAF certification or equivalent enterprise or solution architecture framework experience is advantageous.

What’s in it for You

• Initial 6-month contract with a competitive day rate on offer.
• Melbourne CBD location with hybrid working arrangements.
• Financial services environment with a focus on payments, integration, and customer-facing digital banking channels, not infrastructure.
• Embedded within a collaborative technology team of around 40 spanning delivery, engineering, and application support, with genuine scope to shape architectural direction.
• High-autonomy role with real breadth across concurrent initiatives, ideal for an architect who thrives on variety and meaningful technical challenge.

• Location: Canberra (Onsite)
• Security Clearance: NV1 (Mandatory)
• Contract Length: 12 Months + 2 x 12 Month Extensions (Based on the sole discretion of the Department)

About the Position:

This isn’t a role focused on designing individual systems.

It’s about shaping end-to-end technology solutions that are secure, scalable and aligned with long-term enterprise objectives.

Working within a central architecture function, you’ll partner with business stakeholders, delivery teams and technical specialists to translate business outcomes into practical solution designs. You’ll influence technology decisions from concept through to implementation, ensuring architectural consistency, governance and assurance across complex ICT initiatives.

You’ll also play an active role in architectural governance, contributing to reference architectures, design standards and review forums that help guide technology decisions across the broader organisation.

If you enjoy solving enterprise-wide technology challenges, connecting business needs with technical direction and influencing how solutions are designed before delivery begins, this is the kind of role where your expertise will have lasting impact.

What You’ll Do:

• Design end-to-end technology solutions that are secure, scalable and aligned with enterprise architecture principles.
• Produce high-quality architecture artefacts, including solution designs, reference architectures, roadmaps and technical documentation.
• Guide solution delivery through architecture governance, design reviews and stakeholder collaboration.
• Contribute to architectural standards, technology patterns and continuous improvement across the architecture practice.

What We Are Looking For:

• Demonstrated experience designing enterprise technology solutions within complex ICT environments.
• Strong solution architecture capability, including production of architecture documentation and design artefacts.
• Experience working across multiple technologies, integration patterns and secure environments while balancing business, technical and security considerations.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence architecture decisions and communicate effectively across both business and technical audiences.

Technology & Environment:

• Enterprise & Solution Architecture
• TOGAF (or equivalent) and Architecture Governance
• Cloud, SaaS, Integration & Hybrid Technology Environments
• Information Security, ISM, Essential Eight & Architecture Assurance

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This role is unlikely to suit infrastructure specialists, technical leads or solution designers whose experience has been focused on delivering individual technologies without broader ownership of enterprise solution design and architectural governance.

Success in this role requires balancing business outcomes, technology strategy, security, integration and governance to produce practical architecture that supports long-term delivery.

Applicants must be Australian Citizen and hold an active NV1 Security Clearance.
