If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you!

We are seeking a talented and driven individual to join our dynamic Technology Operations team. As a team member, you will play a pivotal role in working with our business and helping to support and provide engineering services to the digital platform. You will work alongside a group of passionate professionals who are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that exceed customer expectations.

Your team is part of the Technology division, a team that are truly collaborative and passionate, and work closely together to deliver outcomes that positively transform the way our customers use our services.

About the Opportunity

The Strategy and Architecture team develop and implement investment strategy and deliver commercial and information technology services to drive high performance and improved commercial outcomes for VicRoads. The Enterprise Architect is responsible for proactively and holistically leading enterprise responses to disruptive forces by identifying and analysing the execution of change toward the desired business vision and targeted outcomes.

The Enterprise Architect plays a pivotal role in shaping and enabling VicRoads’ digital transformation. This role is part of the Strategy and Architecture function, working closely with cross-functional engineering, operations, and delivery teams to ensure architecture is actionable, collaborative, and aligned with agile ways of working. The architect will lead domain-specific initiatives focusing on areas including our cloud and network platforms and our enterprise security, driving the patterns and standards required to meet our obligations and digital transformation aspirations, and ensuring that architecture is not only strategic but also deeply connected to delivery and operations.

• Strategy & Frameworks: Develop and maintain key components of the organisation’s overall technology strategy in support of the Head of Strategy and Architecture. This includes contributing to the enterprise architecture roadmap and taking ownership of the delivery of specific domain components to ensure alignment with strategic objectives. The role also requires maintaining current knowledge of emerging technology trends across relevant domains in order to identify opportunities that support business innovation and continuous improvement.
• Enterprise Architecture: Define and maintain architectural principles, standards and reference models across cloud, network and security domains to support digital transformation. Provide domain expertise and architectural guidance in collaboration with Engineering, Security and Operations teams, contribute to architecture governance to ensure alignment with roadmaps and standards, and support Solution and Domain Architects across projects and solution development.
• Leadership, architecture practice and mentoring: Mentor and support Domain and Solution Architects to promote architectural excellence, best practices and knowledge sharing across teams. Contribute to capability uplift and continuous improvement within the architecture practice, review solution architecture deliverables for quality and governance alignment, and support the Group Head of Strategy and Architecture in measuring business value through architecture.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Influence: Build strong, trusted relationships across technology and business teams to understand, influence and contribute to business outcomes, and communicate effectively with diverse audiences ranging from technical specialists to senior business stakeholders on enterprise architecture and domain-specific topics.

About you

You are an experienced enterprise architect with a strong academic background, holding a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Systems Analysis or a related discipline. You bring deep, hands‑on experience across multiple architecture domains, with a proven ability to deliver components of holistic enterprise architecture in complex, large‑scale environments.

You have extensive experience spanning at least three architectural or technical disciplines—such as business, information, solution or technical architecture, application development, middleware, data, or operations—and are comfortable working across both strategic and operational planning contexts, ideally within the public sector or similarly complex organisations. You have played a key role in digital transformation initiatives and understand how to align architecture outcomes to business objectives.

You bring strong expertise in cloud and security, including demonstrable experience designing and operating AWS‑based enterprise environments, particularly within regulated contexts. You have also worked closely with CISO and security teams to uplift enterprise security capability. Experience supporting mission‑critical systems or services is highly valued.

Formal architecture qualifications (such as TOGAF or COBIT) and certifications in modern cloud, network and security disciplines—including AWS and CISSP—are desirable and will be highly regarded.
