Your focus will be on translating business needs into practical, future-ready technology designs. You’ll work closely with digital delivery teams, project stakeholders, and fellow architects to solve complex challenges, modernise systems, and ensure every solution aligns with TAFE NSW’s broader technology strategy. You’ll play a key role in shaping conversations, guiding decisions, and supporting others by bringing clarity, structure, and leadership to how solutions are designed and delivered.
