Enterprise Architect

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a senior Enterprise Architect to play a pivotal role in shaping how technology supports the business. You will operate at an enterprise level, owning architecture governance, portfolio visibility, and maturity uplift across SAP and non‑SAP platforms. Leading a team of solution architects, guiding standards and decisions, and providing assurance to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

Enterprise Architecture Governance

• Operate within and influence formal governance forums (Architecture Boards, Design Authorities, CABs, Working Groups)
• Ensure programs and projects align to enterprise standards, policies, and reference architectures
• Provide architectural assurance to senior stakeholders including IT leadership, cyber, risk, and portfolio committees

Portfolio & Demand Visibility

• Maintain visibility of initiatives and demand across global portfolios
• Help rationalise overlap across multiple PMOs and regional delivery models
• Connect business strategy → project pipeline → architectural implications

Landscape & Capability Maturity

• Own and mature:
  • Application landscape
  • Business capability models
  • Reference architectures
• Reduce application sprawl and complexity over time
• Lift maturity where knowledge currently sits informally across teams

SAP in the Enterprise Context

• SAP is a critical part of the landscape but not the whole picture
• Ensure SAP (including S/4HANA) is positioned appropriately within the broader enterprise architecture
• Use tools such as Signavio and modelling platforms to connect SAP and non‑SAP processes end‑to‑end

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience

• Senior experience in Enterprise or Platform Architecture
• Exposure to SAP environments at enterprise scale
• Ability to engage credibly with architects, vendors, and delivery partners
• Understanding of:
  • SAP S/4HANA transformation programs
  • Cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
  • Manufacturing or asset‑heavy environments (supply chain, procurement, operations)

Nice to Have

• Experience in global organisations grown through acquisition
• Background in governance‑heavy or federated delivery models
• Cloud migration oversight (on‑prem to cloud)

How You’ll Work

• Partner closely with senior IT leadership, cyber and risk teams, and portfolio governance
• Influence without direct authority in complex environments
• Work with global delivery partners and regional teams
• Operate calmly and effectively in ambiguity and complexity

Trust and credibility are key — you’ll be relied upon early.

Location, Travel & Package

• Location: Brisbane preferred (hybrid working)
• Travel: Approximately one week per quarter (domestic and occasional international)

Why Join?

• Opportunity to build enterprise architecture maturity, not inherit a finished model
• High visibility and influence across a global organisation
• Shape standards, governance, and long‑term technology direction
• A role where you can leave a legacy, not just deliver a program
