You will operate at the intersection of executive advisory, enterprise and Salesforce architecture, program shaping and account development. You are expected to become a trusted adviser to senior government stakeholders, including SES Band 1 and Band 2 executives, while providing the technical credibility and judgment required to define an architecture that is secure, scalable, supportable and fit for a complex Commonwealth department environment.\nThe role is also strategically important to Capgemini. As a senior Capgemini representative embedded with the client, the Principal Salesforce Architect will help establish and expand Capgemini’s footprint by identifying where Capgemini capabilities, global experience, accelerators and partner ecosystem can create value, whilst always operating with integrity, transparency and within client governance and procurement requirements.\nYou are an Australian Citizen, already based in Canberra or able to relocate to Canberra, with existing Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) clearance (ideally NV1) or be willing and able to obtain and maintain one. You will be expected to operate predominantly on-site with the customer in Canberra which requires the flexibility to work in accordance with departmental security and access requirements.\nYour responsibilities:\nDefine and maintain the architecture vision and roadmap for the customer’s modernisation program, translating strategic and business outcomes into an executable Salesforce-enabled target state.\nAct as the senior Salesforce architecture authority and trusted technology adviser within the program, providing clear recommendations, design trade-offs and risk advice to executive and technical stakeholders.\nShape the program architecture across Salesforce and its surrounding ecosystem, including integration, data, identity, security, cloud, digital channels, automation, analytics and AI-enabled capabilities.\nCreate the architecture foundations, governance and decision framework required to take the program from early design and planning through future procurement and delivery.\nRepresent Capgemini at a senior level, strengthening relationships, identifying adjacent transformation opportunities and connecting the client to relevant Capgemini and partner capabilities.\nSalesforce and enterprise architecture leadership:\nOwn the end-to-end Salesforce solution architecture for the customer’s modernisation initiative, ensuring alignment with the customer’s enterprise architecture, security obligations, business strategy and future operating model.\nDesign the appropriate mix of Salesforce and non-Salesforce capabilities, clearly articulating platform boundaries, constraints, integration patterns and architectural trade-offs.\nDefine architecture across Salesforce platform services, data models, workflow and automation, security and sharing, APIs and integration, digital experience, identity, DevSecOps, environment strategy and non-functional requirements.\nAssess existing platforms, legacy dependencies and surrounding systems to determine transition states, integration requirements, migration implications and sequencing.\nEnsure architecture decisions address scalability, resilience, performance, maintainability, supportability, privacy, sovereignty and protected-government requirements.\nEstablish architecture principles, standards, reference patterns, decision records and design assurance processes that can be carried forward into future procurement and delivery.Provide authoritative guidance on technical risks, dependencies, solution options and remediation strategies across the program.\nExecutive advisory and stakeholder leadership:\nBuild trusted-adviser relationships with SES Band 1 and Band 2 executives, senior business leaders, CIO/CTO stakeholders, enterprise architects, security stakeholders and delivery leaders.\nTranslate complex architecture choices into clear business implications, investment choices, risks and outcomes for non-technical executive audiences.\nFacilitate executive workshops, architecture forums and strategic planning sessions, creating alignment across business, policy, technology and delivery stakeholders.\nNavigate complex Commonwealth government stakeholder environments with maturity, discretion, sound judgment and strong political and organisational awareness.\nChallenge assumptions constructively, resolve competing stakeholder perspectives and create clarity where requirements, ownership or direction are ambiguous.\nProgram shaping and roadmap:\nTranslate modernisation objectives into a coherent target architecture, transition architecture and sequenced technology roadmap.\nSupport definition of program scope, capability boundaries, delivery increments, major dependencies and architecture work packages.\nDevelop high-quality architecture artefacts suitable for executive decision-making, program governance and future market engagement.\nWork with business, commercial, security and procurement stakeholders to ensure architecture is sufficiently defined to support future sourcing and delivery decisions.\nBring leading practices from large-scale Salesforce, government and international transformation programs into the customer’s planning and design.\nAccount development and growth:\nAct as a senior ambassador for Capgemini, demonstrating the quality, integrity and breadth of Capgemini’s global technology and transformation capability.\nIdentify adjacent client needs and opportunities where Capgemini can add value across Salesforce, MuleSoft/integration, data, AI, digital experience, cloud, engineering, testing and managed services.\nConnect the customer with relevant Capgemini specialists, global case studies, accelerators, alliances and intellectual property where these support the client’s objectives.\nContribute to account strategy and opportunity shaping, providing technical leadership for future pursuits while maintaining appropriate separation between trusted client advisory and commercial activity.\nArchitecture governance and delivery readiness:\nEstablish effective design authority and architecture governance, including clear decision rights, review mechanisms and escalation paths.\nDefine quality expectations for solution design, security, integration, data, environments, testing and release management.\nEnsure architecture is practical and implementable, balancing strategic direction with delivery constraints, cost, risk and program timing.\nSupport technical due diligence, estimation, delivery planning and procurement evaluation activities as required.\nMentor architects and technical leads, raising architecture maturity and promoting consistent, reusable solution patterns.\nSuccess measures:\nTrusted-adviser status established with senior executives and technology leaders.\nA clear, credible and decision-ready modernisation target architecture and roadmap is established and endorsed.\nArchitecture governance, standards and key design decisions are in place to support future procurement and delivery.\nExecutive stakeholders understand the major technology choices, risks, dependencies and investment implications.\nThe customer has a pragmatic architecture that is secure, scalable, implementable and aligned with enterprise strategy.\nCapgemini’s reputation and relationships with the customer are strengthened, creating a sustainable platform for future collaboration and growth.\nYour profile:\nAn architect with unusual breadth: technically outstanding, credible with senior executives, commercially aware and comfortable operating in a complex government environment.\nSignificant experience as a Salesforce Technical Architect, Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect or Account/Chief Architect on complex enterprise transformation programs.\nDeep knowledge of Salesforce architecture and platform capabilities, including enterprise data models, security and sharing, integration, APIs, automation, application design, environment strategy and release lifecycle.\nDemonstrated experience architecting end-to-end solutions spanning Salesforce and complex external enterprise systems, including legacy platforms and integration middleware.\nStrong understanding of architecture for identity and access management, cyber security, privacy, data protection, resilience and non-functional requirements in regulated or government environments.\nProven experience defining target-state architecture, transition roadmaps and architecture governance for large, multi-year programs.\nDemonstrated ability to communicate complex technical choices and trade-offs to senior business and technology executives and gain commitment to a recommended direction.\nStrong executive presence, facilitation capability and stakeholder management skills, with the emotional intelligence and judgment to operate effectively with SES-level stakeholders.\nCommercial and consulting acumen: able to recognise client needs, shape opportunities, mobilise specialist capability and contribute to account growth without compromising trusted-adviser status.\nExperience working across multi-vendor environments and influencing partners, delivery teams and architecture stakeholders without relying on formal authority.\nExcellent written communication, with the ability to produce concise, decision-ready architecture papers, roadmaps, options assessments and executive presentations.\nExperience in Australian Federal Government, Defence, National Security, border/immigration, citizen services or similarly regulated environments is highly desirable.\nEqually comfortable working with engineers and at an executive table with SES leaders.\nCombine deep Salesforce architecture expertise with the confidence to form a point of view, the judgment to know when to challenge, and the interpersonal skill to bring stakeholders with you. \nCurious about the broader client agenda, alert to opportunities to create value, and capable of representing Capgemini as a trusted, senior technology leader inside one of Australia’s most important Commonwealth departments.\nSalesforce capability and qualification expectations:\nExpert understanding of Salesforce platform architecture, limits, design patterns and governance for enterprise-scale implementations.\nStrong capability across integration architecture and API strategy; MuleSoft experience is highly regarded.\nStrong understanding of data architecture, migration, data quality, master/reference data and large data volume considerations.\nAbility to design robust Salesforce security models and explain security implications within a broader enterprise security architecture.\nExperience with modern Salesforce capabilities such as Data Cloud,
