job details

As the Program Architect, you will provide strategic and delivery-focused leadership, translating high-level enterprise architecture into a sequenced, testable, and implementable roadmap that delivery teams can execute. This is a senior, influential position requiring a balance of technical rigor and delivery pragmatism within a complex, agile ecosystem.

Key responsibilities:
In this role, you will ensure all technology decisions align with industry standards, cybersecurity frameworks, and long-term sustainability. Your core focus areas include:

Architecture design and sequencing:Develop the Architecture Roadmap and Runway, breaking down reference architecture into agile-compatible implementation views and integration pathways.
Product & technology decisions:Lead product evaluations and technology selections while documenting decisions via Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Agile delivery enablement:Partner with engineering and product streams to ensure architecture supports sprint-based design, continuous integration, and iterative releases.
Governance & standards:Lead a disciplined, lightweight architectural governance model that supports PI planning, sprints, and backlog refinement.
Cross-agency & vendor alignment:Engage with external vendors and shared platform providers to align on interfaces, data models, and non-functional requirements (NFRs).

Candidate profile:
We are seeking an experienced, delivery-oriented leader who understands how to apply architecture effectively in large, multi-vendor environments.

To be successful, you will bring:

Agile expertise:Proven experience delivering architecture in agile environments (Scrum, SAFe, or hybrid models) and decomposing work into incremental slices.
Strategic balance:A demonstrated ability to balance architectural integrity with delivery pragmatism—ensuring architecture accelerates delivery rather than slowing it down.
Technical fluency:Deep knowledge of integration patterns, data models, NFRs, and modern architectural practices.
Stakeholder leadership:Exceptional communication skills with the ability to create clarity and structure within complex, ambiguous environments.
Vendor management:Experience managing architectural implications across complex vendor and cross-agency landscapes.

Team & collaboration
You will operate as a senior leader within the IT organization, collaborating closely with Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architects, Cybersecurity, and Program Leadership to ensure a coherent and sustainable technology platform.

At Randstad Digital, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.

The Opportunity:
Join a once-in-a-generation digital transformation program aimed at modernizing a critical government licensing and registration ecosystem. This large-scale, multi-year initiative spans multiple agencies and involves replacing decades-old legacy platforms with a secure, modern, and user-centered digital environment.
