This is a high-impact role with a broad architectural remit across enterprises.

Leading a team of enterprise and solution architects in delivering scalable, enterprise-wide and domain-specific architecture solutions and security strategies, you’ll be operating as a trusted advisor ensuring alignment of Voco’s architectural frameworks with client objectives, all the while driving innovation, risk mitigation and operational efficiency. This role requires exceptional leadership, technical acumen, and a commitment to delivering strategic and value-driven outcomes.

Arguably considered one of the pinnacle career roles that influence technology, operations and people. With a Business Architecture and Applications focus, this role is a true Enterprise Architect leadership role and sits alongside Executive audiences, provoking conversations that drive to the heart of an organisation’s success.

There are 3 core threads running through this role:

• Manage the team – drive performance and consulting capability
• Business Development – open client doors, paving the way for extended growth of our business
• Hands-on enterprise architecture delivery – lead your team through your own example of what great looks like; this role has a delivery target of its own

Voco is a leading, NZ-owned professional services consultancy that has just celebrated 25 years in business! We impact Government and Corporate organisations from the top down. We embed ourselves with clients to harness understanding and then pragmatically apply our expertise where it counts.

What sets us apart is our unapologetic commitment to our values – People First, Purposefully Restless, Make It Happen, Trusted Powerhouse. To be clear, it’s not the values themselves (many organisations hold similar); rather, it’s our unwavering commitment to them that unleashes our potential and means we walk the talk.

So, it’s no surprise that our Business continues to expand. This role will shape how we do things at a market level and set the future stage.

Being a consultancy, we look for people who can join the dots for our clients – who think holistically, identifying opportunities that will positively impact organisations and who can wrap everything up commercially. You will be someone who derives satisfaction from outcomes; who can build and execute on strategy.

Breadth across various technical domains is key (Business Architecture and Applications being at the forefront) along with a very strong business footprint and process optimisation background.

You are someone who is reputationally led - there is much riding on this role, so being someone who can open doors and rain-make will be heavily relied open.

You will develop robust roadmaps and be skilled in designing enterprise-wide solutions. You will be supported by other Enterprise Architects as well as varying domain architects who will penetrate into the detail.

We hope to attract someone who has a valuable background working in-house for large organisations, operating with ultimate architectural responsibility across the enterprise. To balance this, you will also have experience in consulting environments with a portfolio of successful enterprise business architectures under your belt.

We are expecting considerable interest in this opportunity and, whilst we will reply to all applications, please note that only those with compelling backgrounds will be progressed to interview.
