Are you prepared to influence the digital ecosystem of one of Canada's leading research universities? In the role of Solution Architect within IST, you will be much more than a system designer; you will serve as a primary enabler of innovation.

We invite you to join us in transitioning toward a model of strategic architecture that will intentionally bridge complex institutional potential with scalable, forward-looking technology, ensuring our digital environment matches the ambition of the research we enable.

As a vital contributor to the Information Services & Technology (IST) department, you will report to the Chief Enterprise Architect and hold a central role in connecting intricate business needs with technical solutions. We are seeking a strategic visionary—someone dedicated to fostering innovation and sustainability while leaving a meaningful legacy.

You will be responsible for conceptualizing and overseeing the deployment of architectures that advance the University of Alberta's mission of impact. You will act as a primary advisor for critical technological decisions that adhere to our enterprise architecture principles and respect our architectural standards.

You will do so by building strong partnerships across various faculties and departments that will allow you to convert institutional objectives into secure, scalable architectural frameworks.

If you are energized by complex problem-solving and collaborative solution delivery, we encourage you to apply.
