  • Maintain oversight during delivery phases, validating implementations against approved designs and program objectives.
  • Contribute to transitional architecture planning, mapping current, interim, and target states.

  • Strong technical documentation and architecture modelling skills.
  • Ability to work across multiple teams, fostering collaboration and alignment.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills in complex ICT environments.

Desirable

  • Experience working within public sector or compliance-focused settings.
  • Familiarity with Queensland or Australian Government ICT standards and cyber frameworks.
