  • Extensive experience in solution architecture, enterprise architecture, or technology design roles.
  • Proven success delivering large-scale ERP, digital transformation, or enterprise technology programs.
  • Strong experience working with Microsoft and Oracle technologies, with knowledge of ERP platforms such as SAP and Workday.

  • Experience working within governance, security, and compliance frameworks.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
