Solution architect

Showtime Consulting is a leading provider of Shielded Cloud and Digital Solutions. Based in Australia and New Zealand, we specialise in delivering secure, enterprise‐scale technology solutions across highly regulated environments. Our expertise spans cloud platforms, digital transformation, and complex systems integration, supporting both commercial and government clients.

We partner with large organisations to deliver high‐impact programs that demand strong architectural governance, quality design, and close collaboration between business and technology teams. Our focus is on enabling scalable, well‐governed solutions that support both immediate delivery needs and long‐term strategic outcomes.

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect to support the scoping and delivery of complex technical initiatives. In this role, you will work closely with business stakeholders, delivery teams, and enterprise architects to translate business requirements into well‐defined, governed solution designs.

You will be accountable for producing and owning High‐Level Designs (HLDs) that guide delivery and lay the foundation for future phases of the program. This role requires strong engagement skills, technical depth, and the ability to balance delivery pragmatism with architectural rigour.

• Lead solution architecture activities for complex technical deliveries, from early scoping through to design sign‐off.
• Work closely with business stakeholders to capture and clarify business requirements.
• Translate business needs into formal, governed artefacts, including technical requirements, user stories, and design documentation.
• Produce and own High‐Level Designs (HLDs), ensuring solutions align with enterprise standards and delivery constraints.
• Maintain traceability between business requirements, solution designs, and delivery artefacts (e.g., RTMs).
• Collaborate with Enterprise Architects to ensure alignment with enterprise architecture principles and technology strategies.
• Support delivery teams by clarifying design intent and addressing architectural questions during build and test phases.
• Ensure solution designs consider non‐functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Participate in architecture and governance forums, supporting design reviews and approvals.
• Contribute to the evolution of solution patterns, standards, and reusable components.

• Proven experience as a Solution Architect delivering complex technical solutions in enterprise environments.
• Strong experience scoping and shaping technical deliveries from early design through to implementation.
• Demonstrated ability to capture business requirements and translate them into structured, governed architecture artefacts.
• Hands‐on experience producing HLDs, RTMs, and other formal design documentation.
• Strong understanding of end‐to‐end solution design, integration patterns, and non‐functional requirements.
• Ability to work effectively with business stakeholders, delivery teams, and enterprise architecture functions.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly.
• Experience working in regulated or complex enterprise environments is highly desirable.

• Design and shape solutions for complex, high‐impact enterprise programs.
• Work closely with senior stakeholders across architecture, delivery, and business teams.
• Join a consulting culture that values quality design, governance, and long‐term sustainability.
• Benefit from flexible working arrangements, long‐term engagement opportunities, and strong team support.
