Enterprise Solution Architect

Job Description

Do Yourself a Power of Good

At Vector, we’re undertaking a major transformation—investing $4.6 billion over the next decade to modernise our electricity distribution network and integrate cutting-edge digital technologies. As part of our Symphony Strategy, this investment will enhance customer service and build a more robust, reliable network for the future.

To support this bold vision, our digital architecture must be as innovative and future-focused as our physical infrastructure.

The Role

We’re looking for a pragmatic, strategic, and curious Enterprise Solution Architect—someone who is as comfortable shaping high-level architecture and roadmaps as they are engaging in solution design and delivery. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping Vector’s digital future, supporting our mission to deliver clean, reliable energy for Auckland and beyond.

This isn’t a purist ivory tower architecture role. You’ll need to be equally strong in strategic thinking and real-world application—willing to roll up your sleeves, collaborate across the business, and help bring ideas to life. You’ll be part of a high-performing architecture team that thrives on open dialogue, two-way conversations, and shared problem-solving.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design of enterprise-grade solutions and technology roadmaps, ensuring alignment with Vector’s principles and business goals.
• Engage deeply with GMs, Value Stream Leads, and senior stakeholders across our business units—Electricity, Gas, Fibre, OnGas and Corporate—to understand strategy, uncover opportunities, and co-create solutions.
• Author and guide architectural design across domains including data, integration, networks, and security—ensuring quality, scalability and resilience.
• Adapt fluidly based on the needs of the organisation—shifting from strategic planning to hands-on solutioning as required throughout the year
• Bring a learning mindset to everything you do—listening first, validating perspectives, and sharing your own expertise in ways that elevate the team.

What You Will Bring

• 5–10 years’ experience leading solution architecture or large-scale change programmes in complex, multi-business unit environments.
• Proven ability to assess and deliver a broad range of technology solutions, with experience shaping solution-focused roadmaps alongside technical and business product managers.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including experience working with General Managers and C-level leaders.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-based architectures (e.g. AWS, Azure), and ideally SAP solutions, including S/4 HANA.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field; formal architecture certifications (e.g. TOGAF, ArchiMate, AWS) are a plus.
• A collaborative, curious, and self-motivated approach—skilled at listening, validating, and influencing through clear communication.

Why Vector? Whether it’s:

• The chance to work on globally relevant challenges,
• Partnering with world-leading tech companies to modernise infrastructure,
• Creating a lasting impact for Aotearoa, or
• Developing your own personal and professional growth—

There are many reasons to power your future with Vector.

You’ll also enjoy:

• A flexible, hybrid working environment with trust and autonomy
• A diverse and supportive team with a strong sense of purpose
• A leadership team that listens and values your voice
• Health and wellbeing support for you and your whānau
• A benefits package designed to support work–life balance
