Job description

Lead Data Architect

Cloud Delivered is on the hunt for a Lead Data Architects to join a high-impact federal agency gig that's right at the coalface of government service delivery for millions of Australians.

Picture this: You're embedded in a large-scale federal programme, shaping conceptual, logical and end-to-end data architectures that underpin some of the most critical platforms in the country. You're the go-to voice in governance forums, influencing executive decisions, managing complex technical risks and mentoring the next generation of architects - all while working hybrid from QLD, WA, ACT, VIC, NSW, SA. The first 6 weeks are onsite to get you settled in, then it's a flexible hybrid arrangement from there.

This is an EL2-equivalent lead role - up to 12 months initial contract with extensions up to a maximum of 24 months. The kind of gig where your architecture artefacts actually matter and your strategic advice shapes real-world outcomes.

We know because we do. Our crew has been in the trenches as ICT contractors - we know what it takes to nail enterprise data architecture at scale, and we know how to spot the talent that can deliver. If you've led architecture design across complex, multi-stakeholder environments and can hold your own in front of a senior executive or governance board, we want to hear from you.

You’ll bring

• Deep experience in enterprise, solution, data and integration architecture
• A track record of translating gnarly business and technical requirements into clean, governed ICT solutions
• The ability to communicate architecture recommendations clearly to execs and governance forums
• Ideally, relevant certifications (TOGAF, Azure, AWS or equivalent) and exposure to Australian Government ICT environments
