- Strong ability to translate business requirements into architectural designs and technology solutions
- Proven experience working across complex, multi-system environments, with the ability to rationalise and optimise solution landscapes

- Strong business acumen, with an understanding of how systems and processes support broader business outcomes
- Ability to work across multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Experience evaluating technology trends and providing strategic, enterprise-level advice and guidance
- A collaborative mindset, with a willingness to engage across teams and contribute to continuous improvement and innovation
This bit matters! We’re an equal opportunity employer and we’re proud of our diverse work environment. We are also on our own journey to support an even more diverse and inclusive workplace culture. We recognise the need to continue to encourage diversity and strive to have a workforce that is representative of our community. If you have any questions about our inclusivity or accessibility, please do get in touch.
