Solution Architect (C3S)

There are plenty of technology consulting businesses in Australia. Some of them claim to service “Blue Chip clients”. A few of them claim to be specialists in complex project delivery. A smaller group of them also claim to specialize in Digital transformation. We’re one of the very few who can truly claim to be all three of these.

For the last 4 years, we’ve been going about our business without any fanfare or self-adulation. We’ve been focusing on the only thing that really matters to our clients, and that’s delivery. When you get to the core of what clients want, it’s predictable delivery, no surprises and knowing that they're in safe hands.
 

Our people are the type who thrive in solving technically challenging problems, generally at a largescale. The type of work we do affects business outcomes and helps deliver client strategies, so we’re a group of people who take that seriously. We’re less ping-pong tables and bean bags, more whiteboards and coffee. This is probably why customers come to us with their most complex problems.

Our Solution Architects generally work with Enterprise size clients to deliver high impact and at times, high profile programs of work. They might be looking at challenges such as moving large scale applications and/or systems from on premise to the cloud or replacing one vendors product with another.

With solid technical backgrounds within the contemporary ICW landscape, they’ll be providing technical guidance and expertise through activities such as;

·       System requirements discovery

·       Technology recommendations.

·       Vendor identification.

·       Leading design and review of new systems

·       Planning for integration

·       Project Evaluation

Regardless of the work, at this level our people are expected to;

·        Be expert communicators, regardless of the audience.

·        Provide high class governance and planning.

·        Possess advanced negotiation skills.

·        Have deep technical capability, at a conceptual not code level.

·        Be natural leaders.

·        Have empathy for clients.

·        Be highly organised at a personal level.

·        Still be technically curious.

·        Have some battle scars from previous roles.

·        Be inspired by responsibility, not scared of it.

·        Be calm under pressure.

·        A decision maker.

You may have noticed that we don’t make lists of years of experience needed, or technical requirements. At this level, there's no point. If you need us to spell it all out for you then you’re reading the wrong job ad.

You’ll find the work stimulating and rewarding, and our people accepting and open. We’re here to do our best work and deliver what was promised.
