Job details

The department requires an experienced Enterprise Architect to provide architecture leadership, analysis and assurance across the ERP Program lifecycle. The architect will work with the ERP Program, Enterprise Architecture, Cyber Security, IT Operations, business owners, data owners, vendors and implementation partners to ensure the ERP solution is aligned with the department's current and target IT landscape and supports a cohesive, secure, interoperable and sustainable digital enterprise.

Key duties and responsibilities

The Enterprise Architect will have the following key responsibilities / scope of work:

• Enterprise alignment and governance
• Develop and maintain department-side enterprise architecture artefacts for the ERP Program, including current-state, transition-state and target-state views across business, data, application, technology and security domains.
• Provide architecture alignment advice to ensure Workday, ServiceNow and implementation partner designs are consistent with the department's enterprise architecture principles, digital strategy, technology roadmap, cloud direction, cyber requirements and service management model.
• Prepare architecture advice, decision papers, diagrams and governance packs for the IT Architecture Board, ERP Program Board, ERP Steering Committee and other relevant forums.
• Identify and escalate architecture risks, issues, dependencies, constraints and decision points requiring business, technical or executive resolution.
• Cross-platform and non-core-platform design
• Lead or support architecture design work that sits outside the core Workday and ServiceNow platform configuration responsibilities.
• Define and assure cross-platform design patterns for integrations, identity, access, records integration, reporting, monitoring, data exchange, operational support and transition states.
• Support design options for legacy system decommissioning, including existing SAP capability, dependent business systems, data retention, reporting continuity, records obligations and transition sequencing.
• Ensure platform designs from implementation partners are assessed against whole-of-department requirements, not just individual product boundaries.
• Integration, identity and data architecture assurance
• Support the development and assurance of the ERP integration architecture, including API patterns, middleware, data exchange, event flows, service boundaries, integration ownership, error handling, monitoring and operational support.
• Work with Cyber Security and identity teams to ensure identity, access, privileged access, segregation of duties, logging, monitoring and incident response considerations are reflected in ERP architecture artefacts.
• Support data architecture assurance for key ERP data domains, including authoritative sources, ownership, flows, migration, reporting needs, metadata, retention and data quality considerations.
• Platform design assurance
• Review and provide department-side assurance over Workday, ServiceNow, Accenture and other implementation partner architecture outputs, including solution architecture, integration design, environment design, data migration approach, non-functional requirements and transition-to-operations artefacts.
• Confirm that platform-specific designs align with the department's broader enterprise architecture, cyber, records, data, cloud, service management and operational support requirements.
• Document architectural gaps, unresolved dependencies and decision points where vendor/platform designs require department direction or governance approval.
