About the role

Due to an internal promotion we are now looking for an Enterprise Architecture Practice Lead. You will translate strategic intent into practical architecture direction. This is a player-coach role, with an expected balance of approximately 40 per cent architecture production and 60 per cent people leadership, governance, stakeholder engagement and practice improvement.

You will lead a team of architects across enterprise, data and security domains and coordinate specialist support where required. You will personally develop material conceptual, target-state and reference architectures, improve the quality and timeliness of architecture decisions, and help create better outcomes for customers, team members and the organisation.

You will set clear direction, connect perspectives from across stakeholder groups, constructively challenge weak decisions and remain accountable for architecture quality and practice outcomes. You will join a developing practice with capable people and established governance foundations, while leading targeted uplift in capability, methods, stakeholder engagement and documentation practices.

Your early priority will be to build trust, then use that trust to activate the Technology and Digital Plan through clear, timely and practical architecture decisions.

About the team

The Strategy and Architecture team connects Unitywater’s business strategies and Technology and Digital Plan with the architecture choices needed to deliver them. The team shapes how business capabilities,



information, applications, integration, infrastructure, cyber security, operational technology and emerging technologies work together as Unitywater matures as a digital utility.

What you will do

- Collaborate on the activation of the Technology and Digital Plan by developing and facilitating priority architecture decisions, target states and transition roadmaps.
- Personally lead material or cross-domain enterprise architecture work while directing and assuring work produced by the practice and specialist contractors.
- Shape initiatives early by clarifying outcomes, capabilities, dependencies, constraints, viable options and whole-of-life implications before material commitments are made.
- Connect business capabilities, information, applications, integration, infrastructure, cloud, cyber security and operational technology into coherent enterprise-level architectures.
- Provide architecture leadership across operational technology and integration, bringing information technology and operational technology together securely and reliably. Shape the foundations and practical adoption pathways needed for emerging artificial intelligence capabilities.
- Act as a key stakeholder in the Architecture Review Board, which reviews high-level architecture designs and decisions, and support effective design assurance and conformance.




- Develop practical principles, standards, guardrails, reusable patterns, reference architectures and traceable decision records.
- Lead and develop the Enterprise Architecture Practice, improving capability, methods, stakeholder engagement, documentation quality, work allocation and accountability.
- Clearly communicate options, risks, costs, advantages, operability, sequencing and lifecycle implications to leaders and governance forums.
- Identify opportunities to reuse capabilities, simplify the technology environment, reduce duplication and address technical debt and lifecycle risk.
