• Provide enterprise-wide architectural leadership to guide technology direction, simplify complexity, and align with organisational strategy and priorities.

• Define, maintain and communicate the enterprise architecture vision, principles, standards and roadmaps, including current-state, target-state and transition architectures, capability models and strategic roadmaps.

• Provide architecture governance and assurance for major programs, projects, procurements and technology investments, and review and endorse solution architectures for alignment with enterprise standards.

• Contribute to architecture governance boards and design authorities, managing exceptions, risks and technical debt in a controlled and transparent way.

• Partner with internal IT teams to rationalise, modernise and optimise the technology landscape, reducing duplication and managing lifecycle costs.

• Ensure architecture decisions incorporate security, privacy, compliance, resilience and sustainability requirements.

• Mentor and guide solution architects, domain architects and technical leaders to uplift architecture capability and consistency of practice.
