About us

At ASB, we're all about doing what we can to help our customers get "One Step Ahead" by giving them the tools they need to manage their lives and plans for their families and future. Our products don't just serve ads or stream movies - they underpin our economy and touch people's lives.

About the Practice:

The Strategy and Architecture Practice works across ASB to help us reach our goals through discovering current architectures, defining target state architectures and creating roadmaps that show transitional architectural models, moving between the current and future states. They are pioneers, visionaries, and are nuts about turning technology strategy into reality, through collaboration.

About the role

As a Principal Architect, you'll be embedded within an Architecture squad to work on a variety of solutions, learn from your colleagues, and shape enterprise strategies. You'll work in a group of Enterprise and Solution Architects with different areas of expertise (e.g. Business, Data, Integration), so keeping an eye on the big and small pictures and working to your strengths as well as learning from other experts.

As a Principal Architect you will shape and work across major programmes of work providing architecture input into design governance and Enterprise wide and domain specific roadmaps to focus delivery on realising our transformational objectives.

You'll be a wiz at building rapport with all types of people, so everyone understands, and is on board with proposed target architecture changes, and understand what that means in terms that are relevant to each person.

As part of a Practice, you'll also form part of a close-knit team of experts and will contribute towards building the capability of the Strategy and Architecture Practice, set up guard-rails, leverage best practice and drive continuous improvement.

As a Principal Architect you will lead the development of Domain specific Reference Architectures, help set the strategic direction for technology investment and ensure successful execution.

This may sound like a tall order, but you have a supportive practice backing you, platforms and strategy teams singing out for your skills and a passion to embrace the new…. So, it should all be a walk in the park for someone like you.

About you

You would have started your career in an enterprise engineering or IT services environment, and have grown up the ranks to have deep experience in architecture, understanding its complexities from a business, infrastructure and software perspective, dependencies of different ecosystems and how this ties together in an enterprise environment. You will have initially shaped and/or led the architecture delivery for large-scale enterprise-wide transformation programmes.

Your effective communication and people skills will help you build relationships, understand and communicate complex information, and get different people on board with the same plan. You'll be excited about the new, live on the cusp of new technology and how this can make what we do, better.

As a starter for success, we'd love some of the following experience and skills:

7+ years' experience as an Architect, in an enterprise environment
Demonstrated understanding of the disciplines of solution and enterprise architecture
