About the Role
We're seeking a Principal Technical Lead to join JourneyOne, one of Rmkble's specialist businesses dedicated to taking clients on remarkable transformation journeys.
This role is for a technical thought leader who will help us shape and win strategic client engagements through deep credibility in AI and contemporary engineering.
This is not traditional consulting, nor is it a pure delivery role.
You'll identify, shape, and secure complex AI and digital transformation opportunities. You'll win client confidence through expertise, guide technical strategy, and deliver production systems that create measurable business value.
You'll represent JourneyOne as a trusted authority while building systems that work.
What You'll Do
Shape, Win, and Guide Strategic Opportunities
Identify high-value AI and digital transformation challenges with senior stakeholders
Lead technical discovery: assess environments, data readiness, and architectural landscapes
Drive commercial pursuits: lead RFP responses, shape proposals, scope solutions, present to C-suite
Build lasting client relationships and establish trust with senior decision-makers
Represent JourneyOne publicly: speak at events, publish thought leadership, engage technical communities
Set architectural standards and engineering best practices that balance value with excellence
Validate solutions through rapid proof of concepts: turn AI potential into measurable outcomes
Evaluate emerging technologies (including Microsoft ecosystem) and translate hype into practical application
Lead complex architectural decision making across cloud, AI, and enterprise integration
Architect, Build, and Enable Production Solutions
Design cloud-native, production-ready AI systems (Microsoft ecosystem preferred)
Move solutions from pilot to production: robust,



scalable, sustainably operated
Support JourneyOne technical teams to deliver journeys at client site
Embed with client teams to build trust and integrate solutions into real workflows
Translate business problems into technical solutions with clarity and commercial awareness
Build workforce readiness: coach teams on modern engineering and AI practices
Mentor internal teams and raise technical excellence across JourneyOne
What You Bring
Technical Leadership (10+ years) and Applied AI
Deep cloud-native architecture expertise (Microsoft ecosystem preferred)
Strong software engineering capability
Enterprise integration, API design, modern engineering practices
Production AI/ML deployment
Hands-on with Microsoft AI platforms
LLM orchestration frameworks
AI governance, observability, and responsible implementation
Commercial Acumen and Thought Leadership
Proven ability to shape and win complex opportunities: RFPs, proposals, C-suite presentations
An established network of decision makers, where that network views you as a trusted advisor based on your track record of delivery
Strong executive presence and communication across technical and business audiences
Demonstrated thought leadership (publications, speaking, community engagement)
Comfortable representing organisations publicly and building senior relationships
Senior stakeholder engagement and influence at executive level
Commercial mindset: scope, price, position solutions, contribute to revenue growth




Outcome-driven and pragmatic: balance ideal with real constraints
Mentorship and capability building: develop teams and foster continuous learning
What Makes This Different
You won't sit on the sidelines.
You'll shape opportunities, win work, and deliver systems that create lasting impact.
You won't deliver recommendations and walk awa
y.
You'll embed with clients, build production systems, and ensure solutions work.
You won't be a cog in the machine.
You'll shape JourneyOne's technical direction, market positioning, and reputation.
Ideal Candidate
You may come from:
Principal engineer/architect, solutions architect/presales, technical consulting at major tech companies, or CTO/technical leadership roles seeking client strategy and commercial engagement.
You are:
Technically excellent with production systems experience, commercially fluent in shaping and winning opportunities, a natural thought leader comfortable representing organisation publicly, driven by real-world impact, and equally comfortable leading and doing from code to C-suite.
Above all:
you will be someone who shares our core principles and values: always delivering, caring for people, being humble, building lasting relationships, creating everlasting sustainability, and making every journey remarkable for our clients and for your colleagues.
At JourneyOne, and more widely across the whole Rmkble family of businesses, we believe remarkable things happen when people are empowered with the right tools, the right support, and a shared purpose.
So, if you're a technical leader who wants to make a real impact and be part of a team that genuinely cares, we'd love to meet you.
Candidates must have full Australian working rights to be considered for this role. Recruitment agencies should note we do not accept unsolicited CVs.
