Job Description
You will lead one of the most important platform modernisation programs in our ANZ managed services business: simplifying legacy platforms, accelerating our cloud journey, and creating the engineering foundations for more automated, reliable, and intelligent service delivery. You will be accountable for modernising the core platforms, tools, data foundations, and engineering practices that our services business depends on. Your focus will be to turn platform strategy into execution: leading our Azure and cloud platform journey, driving the platform execution required for data centre exit, consolidating legacy platforms, improving observability, strengthening automation, and integrating platform capabilities with service management. The central challenge is to bring structure, sequencing, and execution discipline to a complex platform environment while maintaining service continuity for existing customers. This is not a traditional architecture role. We need a senior technical execution leader who can take a north-star platform direction, architecture principles, and business priorities, then convert them into a sequenced, governed, and measurable delivery program. A key part of this will be building the foundations for AI-enabled and agentic operations: trusted operational data, integrated tooling, repeatable automation, reliable observability, and commercially sustainable platform patterns that reduce operational toil and improve service quality. You will join a platform organisation with significant transformation already in flight. Your role will be to bring clarity, structure, prioritisation, and momentum: deciding what matters most, creating the operating model to deliver it, reducing legacy complexity, improving reliability, and building platforms that are scalable, secure, cost-aware, and easier to operate. Success will be measured by delivered outcomes: migration progress, improved reliability, reduced toil, stronger cost transparency, and a clearer path from architecture to execution.
