About the company
Our client is a respected national organisation with a long-standing legacy of service to New Zealanders. Today, they are building that legacy into the future — investing in digital transformation, cloud-first platforms, and intelligent solutions that simplify complexity and make a meaningful difference.

About the role
They are now looking for a Solution Architect to join their growing internal capability — someone who can lead solution design across both application and infrastructure domains, ensure delivery through external vendors, and embed best practice.
This is a career-defining opportunity for an architect who wants technical ownership, visibility across enterprise projects, and the chance to influence how architecture is done — all within a values-led, purpose-driven culture.
  
What You’ll Be Doing:
As Solution Architect, you’ll play a lead role in designing and guiding end-to-end solutions that span applications, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and security. From enterprise-wide digital initiatives to compliance, data and AI platforms, your work will impact every part of the business.
You’ll be embedded early in the project lifecycle, providing strategic input, assessing technical options, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes. 
  
What You’ll Bring:
We’re looking for an experienced, technically grounded Solution Architect who can design across both application and infrastructure layers — ideally with a background in engineering, development, or systems administration.
You’ll thrive in a role where you own the architecture, collaborate widely, and guide others through complexity with confidence and clarity. You understand that great architecture is not just about frameworks — it’s about enabling delivery and making sound, future-facing decisions in real-world contexts.

Essential Skills & Experience:
  • 5+ years’ experience in solution and infrastructure architecture roles
  • Strong understanding of Azure-based cloud platforms — including networking, storage, identity and application layers
  • Proven ability to design secure, scalable, and supportable systems
  • Confident working across the full project lifecycle, from discovery to go-live
  • Experience managing delivery through third-party vendors
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Technical depth across both cloud infrastructure and enterprise application domains
  
Ready to Architect the Future?
This is your chance to lead meaningful projects in a high-trust, high-impact role. If you’re ready to shape technology in a way that matters — we’d love to hear from you.
