Description
As one of Australia’s fastest growing insurers, Auto & General is entering a pivotal phase of growth and transformation. As GM of Strategy & Architecture, you will be the organisation's most senior technology strategist and architectural authority, defining the enterprise technology vision that will underpin the next five years and beyond.
About the opportunity:
This is not a traditional architecture leadership role. You'll partner closely with the Executive Leadership Team, influence strategic technology investment decisions, and build an architecture function that balances long-term vision with pragmatic delivery. You'll challenge thinking, shape future-state architecture, and create the governance, capability and technical direction that secures Auto & General's architectural landscape for years to come. Success will be defined by balancing long-term architecture with existing commercial realities.
About You:
You'll be a respected architecture owner and transformation leader who combines strategic thinking with commercial pragmatism.
You'll bring with you;
- Extensive experience leading Enterprise Architecture or Technology Strategy within a complex and fast paced environment.
- A proven ability to develop an enterprise-wide technology strategy ensuring alignment between high-level vision and practical implementation.
- Executive presence with the credibility to influence Boards, C-suite executives, technology partners and senior engineering leaders.
- Skills in leading architecture forums and removing bottlenecks to enable improved delivery and velocity.
- A collaborative leadership style that develops high-performing teams and builds influence across an organisation.
- Financial services experience working with regulators is a bonus but NOT a must have.
What's on Offer:
This is more than a senior architecture role; it's an opportunity to shape the technology direction of a business with ambitious growth plans. You'll partner with an experienced executive team, influence enterprise-wide decisions and have the autonomy to build and mature an architecture capability that will enable the next generation of growth.
Additionally, the role will provide;
- A highly competitive salary & comp.
- A roadmap and genuine pathway for succession and future leadership opportunities.
