Job Description

About the company

Talent Street is supporting a large Queensland government agency in appointing an Enterprise Architect on an initial 6-month contract with a strong likelihood of extension. The agency is in the middle of a major digital-health transformation program, so the work is high-impact and highly visible.

 

About the role

Sitting within the central Digital Architecture team and reporting to the Senior Director, you’ll own the end-to-end technology blueprint that underpins statewide clinical and business systems. Key focuses include:

  • Developing and maintaining enterprise-wide architecture, standards, and roadmaps (cloud, infrastructure, apps, data, security).

  • Reviewing new project proposals to ensure they’re strategic, cost-effective, and secure.

  • Guiding solution architects and project teams through best-practice patterns and design oversight.

  • Driving lean, agile, and sustainable architecture principles across a federated environment.

  • Influencing C-suite, clinicians, and vendors to align investments with business objectives.

 

What you need

To be successful, you’ll be able to demonstrate:

  • 5+ years’ experience in enterprise architecture/design within large, complex organisations.

  • A track record of setting technology strategy that delivers fit-for-purpose, value-for-money solutions.

  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills—you translate tech speak for executives, clinicians, and vendors alike.

  • Experience leading cloud, infrastructure, and application-modernisation initiatives.

  • Deep understanding of architecture frameworks (TOGAF or similar) and governance processes.

  • Strategic planning capability plus the agility to balance quick wins with long-term roadmaps.

  • (Nice to have) Exposure to public-sector or health-sector environments.

 

Benefits

  • Daily rate — $1,150 (inclusive of super).

  • Chance to shape some of the most complex, statewide digital-health projects in Queensland.

  • Hybrid working — 4 days from home, 1 day on-site (Fortitude Valley).

  • High probability of contract extension on a multi-year program.
