Principal Cloud & Enterprise Architecture Lead

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Cloud & Enterprise Architecture Lead based in Australia. This is a senior architecture leadership role focused on designing secure, scalable, and cloud-first technology environments across complex enterprise landscapes. You’ll shape enterprise, solution, and cloud architectures while defining future-state technology roadmaps and reusable design standards. The role spans Azure and AWS, cloud modernization, enterprise integration, identity and security, DevSecOps, data services, and architecture governance. You’ll act as a trusted technical adviser to executives, delivery teams, security stakeholders, and business leaders, translating strategic priorities into practical technology decisions. A strong focus on secure-by-design principles means you’ll help ensure platforms meet demanding security, compliance, resilience, and operational requirements. You’ll also influence multidisciplinary engineering teams through architecture reviews, mentoring, design workshops, and technical guidance. This is an opportunity to shape technology strategy at enterprise scale while remaining close enough to the technical detail to influence how solutions are actually delivered.
