With significant change on the way, you will lead out in shaping and influencing the enterprise through undertaking architecture at the enterprise level, providing the roadmap and runway to change how the Defence Force connects. You will be a self-driven learner, confident in interacting with different parts of the business, with a forward thinking approach to solving architecture problems.
