Director - Victoria at Emanate Technology
About the Role
Let's be upfront, this isn't your standard architecture gig. It's a chance to shape both the
tech strategy and digital experience
, covering everything from Salesforce and martech to portals, CMS, and custom applications — front end, back end, and integrations that tie it all together.
Ideal for a
Principal on the rise
or an
Architect
early in their journey who has delivered real solutions and wants to
own a domain
while staying close to the tech and making a real impact.
What You'll Be Doing
Own architecture for the digital domain, including
customer portals, mobile apps, Salesforce, martech, and the front-end, back-end, and integration layers
.
Set the direction
— develop standards, practices, and lightweight governance where it's currently lacking.
Act as a
servant leader to squads
, influencing without blocking, and empowering teams to own their architecture.
Support broader
CI/CD uplift and engineering modernization
.
Build real
partnerships with stakeholders
— both technical and business.
Work closely with engineering squads to
guide
architectural decisions and help
shape
what valuable looks like across
digital platforms
.
Help grow the architecture capability as the team scales from 3 to 5 in the next year.

connector, enabler, and change agent
.

Confident across all architectural layers: integrations, security, cloud platforms (AWS), and modern API design.
Appreciation for
CI/CD, DevOps, pipelines, and platform maturity

acumen
— able to bring people along without over-engineering.
Enjoys working in a
small, growing architecture team
, helping to shape its DNA.
