We're partnering with an organisation undergoing significant technology transformation to find an experienced Technical Business Analyst / Solution Architect for an initial 3-month contract.

This is a hands on role focused on bringing clarity to a complex application and integration landscape. You'll work across existing systems, integrations and business processes to consolidate information, identify gaps and develop clear, practical architecture documentation.

The organisation is preparing for a major HR, payroll and workforce transformation, and needs someone who can bridge the gap between technical business analysis and solution architecture.

This isn't a traditional BA role or a pure architecture position. We're looking for someone technically strong who can take complex information and turn it into clear, visual documentation that supports future technology decisions.

• Analyse and document the current application and integration landscape, including system dependencies, interfaces and data flows.
• Consolidate existing technical information and work with SMEs to address gaps and inconsistencies.
• Develop comprehensive integration registers detailing source and target systems, data exchanges, integration methods, ownership and dependencies.
• Produce current state architecture diagrams and process maps using tools such as Visio, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Create layered architecture views suitable for executive, operational and technical audiences.
• Identify integration risks, technical debt, process inefficiencies and potential impacts on future transformation activities.
• Support future state architecture planning by documenting solution options, dependencies and technical considerations.
• Work collaboratively with internal architecture, ICT and business stakeholders to validate documentation and recommendations.
• Establish practical, reusable documentation and templates that can be maintained by internal teams.

• Strong experience as a Technical Business Analyst, Solution Architect or a hybrid of both.
• Proven ability to analyse and document complex application landscapes and system to system integrations.
• Strong understanding of APIs, interfaces, databases, file transfers, middleware and integration platforms.
• Experience producing current state architecture diagrams, integration maps and technical documentation.
• Excellent process mapping, data flow analysis and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, visual information for both technical and non technical stakeholders.
• Experience working with legacy systems and identifying integration risks and dependencies.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to navigate sensitive relationships and influence collaboratively.
• Comfortable working with incomplete information and within environments where architecture and documentation practices are still developing.
• Practical experience using Microsoft Visio, Excel and PowerPoint.

• Experience with HR, payroll, workforce management or enterprise ERP platforms.
• Exposure to integration middleware such as Boomi.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday or Oracle.
• Experience supporting enterprise technology transformation programmes.

• Fully remote opportunity - Work from anywhere in Australia.
• Immediate impact - Play a key role in establishing visibility across a complex technology landscape.
• Major transformation - Contribute to the foundations of a significant HR, payroll and workforce technology programme.
• Autonomy and ownership - Take responsibility for meaningful deliverables and work directly with senior stakeholders.
• Potential extension - Initial 3 month engagement with opportunities for additional work depending on project requirements.
