This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role where your thinking and judgement will directly shape how Qantas continues to evolve and innovate.

- Engage early in initiative planning to define architectural options, trade‑offs, risks and costs, influencing investment and delivery decisions.
- Provide end‑to‑end architectural oversight across major programs, ensuring solutions align to endorsed architecture and deliver measurable outcomes.
- Drive technology modernisation and rationalisation, reducing duplication, retiring legacy platforms and uplifting resilience and sustainability.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and cloud innovations, supporting proofs of concept and structured experimentation.
- Translate complex technical concepts into clear, practical guidance for executives, stakeholders and delivery teams.
- Identify and mitigate systemic risks across cyber, resilience, safety and obsolescence within cloud designs, embedding controls into architectural outcomes.
