About the Role
Gigged AI is an open talent marketplace specialising in the IT and technology sector. We seek an experienced Digital Transformation Architect to lead a senior-level technology transformation programme—no traditional enterprise architecture documentation or isolated tech assessments. This role calls for a strategic thinker who bridges business outcomes, process design, platform decisions, and AI enablement.
Your role will include:
- Acting as the lead technical voice within senior stakeholder engagements (CTO, CEO, board-level).
- Shaping strategy, assessing opportunities, and defining a governed transformation path.
- Offering sharp consulting instincts with strong commercial awareness.
- Providing confident direction via clear executive recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
To excel in this role, you’ll be responsible for:
-
Strategic Alignment:
- Translate business challenges into a practical transformation approach connecting business outcomes, processes, platforms, and AI into a cohesive story.
- Assess SaaS/enterprise platforms and provide actionable optimise/replace/supplement recommendations based on business needs.
-
AI & Automation Evaluation:
- Analyze AI and automation opportunities, considering feasibility, data readiness, integration complexity, and risk.
- Present findings and logic clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
