These programs are shaping a connected, digital-first healthcare environment that supports new models of care, improves patient outcomes and enhances clinician experience.
About the Role
Join a high-performing digital delivery team at the forefront of healthcare transformation. This is a rare opportunity to lead the design of fit-for-purpose solution architectures, that address the business problems and opportunities that directly improve patient outcomes and service efficiency at scale.
Working with executive stakeholders, innovative technologies and care models, you will consider concerns across all architectural domains, ensuring alignment with Department of Health (DoH) Enterprise Architecture directives, policies and standards. By shaping robust solution architectures, you will contribute to the delivery of digital solutions that redefine how healthcare is delivered across Metro North Health.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments and want to shape the future of digital health, this role offers both challenge and impact.

Key knowledge and experience
The ideal applicant will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Ensure system requirements are sufficiently captured to drive solution architecture that fully meets the needs and expectations of stakeholders.
- Identify and assess the implications of applicable Queensland Health, whole-of-government and industry related policies, standards, and any other constraints (including funding and schedule) that impact architectural decision-making and ensure these are appropriately addressed in the solution architecture.
- Consult, negotiate, and communicate with system stakeholders and ICT professionals to promote shared and consistent understanding and acceptance of the proposed solution.
- Initiate, influence, and maintain relationships with and between key internal and external stakeholders facilitating effective communication channels to ensure the successful delivery of projects including feedback mechanisms and management of expectations.
- Provide expert advice and communicate sound solution alternatives to architectural risks, issues and resulting implications by delivering comprehensive written responses, briefs, submissions, presentations, and reports that effectively guide design decisions.
