Macquarie University Information Technology is hiring an experienced Enterprise Architect to provide strategic architectural leadership across some of the University's most complex and strategically significant application domains, including engagement, student, research and enabling applications such as finance, HR and facilities.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of our digital transformation. You will act as a critical control point across high-value technology initiatives, helping the University make sound technology and investment decisions that align with institutional strategy, improve customer experiences and reduce duplication and complexity. Working across portfolios and functions, you will help shape future-state architecture and guide a pragmatic, value-driven transition from current to target state.

Your key accountabilities will include:

• Providing enterprise-wide architectural leadership to guide technology direction, simplify complexity and align with organisational strategy and priorities.
• Defining, maintaining and communicating the enterprise architecture vision, principles, standards and roadmaps aligned to organisational strategy and target experiences.
• Developing and maintaining current-state, target-state and transition architectures, including capability models and strategic roadmaps, using an evidence-based approach.
• Providing architecture governance and assurance for major programs, projects, products, procurements and technology investments, and reviewing and endorsing solution architectures.
• Contributing to architecture governance boards and design authorities, handling exceptions, risks and technical debt in a controlled and transparent manner.
• Identifying opportunities to rationalise, modernise and optimise the technology landscape to improve value, reduce duplication and manage lifecycle costs, while ensuring decisions incorporate security, privacy, compliance, resilience and sustainability requirements.
• Building working relationships across IT and service units, and guiding solution architects, domain architects and technical leaders to uplift architecture capability and consistency of practice.
