Head of Enterprise Architecture

As the Head of Enterprise Architecture, you will play a critical role in enabling RAC to deliver on its purpose by ensuring the organisation's capabilities, structures, processes and technologies are strategically aligned and future‑fit.

Through enterprise‑wide collaboration and governance, you will act as a translator of RAC's business strategy into actionable architectural blueprints and roadmaps that will drive organisational transformation. This role bridges the gap between strategic intent and operational execution, aligning business capabilities, operating models and technology to deliver sustainable competitive advantage.

This role will initially be offered as a two‑year maximum‑term opportunity.

What will you be doing?

• Leading the development and execution of RAC's enterprise architecture strategy and mandate, ensuring alignment with strategic direction and regulatory obligations.


• Defining enterprise architecture principles and facilitating governance forums to guide decision‑making, drive alignment, and ensure compliance across the organisation.


• Developing and maintaining the business capability model in collaboration with stakeholders, embedding it into strategic planning and investment decisions.


• Designing and evolving enterprise‑wide architecture frameworks across business processes, data, infrastructure and technology, with governance, reviews and advisory support to ensure adherence.


• Influencing the end‑to‑end technology landscape (applications, infrastructure, data and security) to deliver scalable, integrated and secure solutions in collaboration with the Enterprise Technology teams.


• Building influential relationships and acting as a trusted advisor to executives on investment prioritisation, sequencing of key initiatives and risk management.


• Leading and inspiring a high‑performing architecture matrix team while evaluating emerging technologies and trends to drive innovation, agility and operational excellence.

What are we looking for in you?

• Proven experience translating organisational strategy into enterprise‑wide capability and architecture plans within complex, regulated environments.


• Extensive experience applying and evolving architecture frameworks, leading governance forums, and ensuring alignment with regulatory and risk requirements.


• Demonstrated experience developing and embedding business capability models to inform strategic planning, prioritisation and investment decisions.


• Strong experience coordinating and sequencing enterprise‑wide initiatives, ensuring architecture is embedded across project and change delivery.


• Experience leading high‑performing, matrixed teams and building trusted relationships with executives, senior leaders and external partners to influence strategic outcomes.


• Broad technical capability across enterprise architecture domains (infrastructure, applications, data, security), with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly to drive understanding and buy‑in.


• A tertiary qualification in technology, business, engineering or a related discipline, complemented by enterprise architecture certification (e.g. TOGAF, CEAP, Zachman).

What can we offer you?

• A genuine opportunity to define, implement and operationalise architecture across strategy, governance and delivery—not just advisory.


• Direct impact on prioritisation, funding and sequencing of major initiatives through capability modelling and strategic planning.


• Collaborate on decisions across applications, infrastructure, data and security to enable scalable, modern and integrated platforms.


• Ensure architecture is embedded across all major programmes and change initiatives, creating tangible business impact.


• Partner closely with senior leaders to translate strategy into practical, executable outcomes.


• Benefit from flexible and hybrid work arrangements that support wellbeing and performance.


• Join an organisation committed to community impact and sustainability creating a better Western Australia.
