St Vincent's Health Australia – Melbourne VIC

2mo ago , from St Vincent's Health Australia

St Vincent's has been a leader in Australia's health and aged care landscape for more than 165 years. Since our founders, the Sisters of Charity, opened our first hospital in 1857, our services and nearly 30,000 people have been behind some of Australia's most important medical breakthroughs. We are a microcosm of Australia's health and aged care system and are uniquely positioned to lead and respond to our rapidly changing environment.

Reporting directly to the Head of Networks & Communications, the Enterprise Network Architect will be the senior technical authority and delegated Design Authority for network architecture across St Vincent's.

ensuring network designs support patient safety and clinician workflows.
- Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations and cybersecurity frameworks while driving remediation of technical debt.
- Evaluate emerging technologies like SASE and AI-driven operations to modernise platforms across hospitals and aged care.

- 10+ years of experience in enterprise network architecture or senior engineering within complex, multi-site environments.
