  • Recommend options to bridge software, hardware, platform, security, and skills gaps.
  • Address scalability, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Technical Roadmap

  • Include sequencing, dependencies, and implementation considerations.
  • Stakeholder Engagement
  • Collaborate with technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Incorporate business, security, and operational requirements.
  • Provide both detailed technical documents and executive-level summaries.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering similar architectural services for complex, whole-of-government applications within secure and regulated environments.
  • Current AGSVA NV1 security clearance (or ability to obtain).
Highly Desirable Criteria
  • Knowledge of Australian Government security frameworks (ISM, PSPF) with emphasis on PROTECTED-level compliance for applications and cloud solutions.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with ability to present to diverse audiences.
