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.
- Representing 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.
- Acting 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.
