Act as a conduit between our nationally critical operations and ICT
- Work with senior leaders to take advantage of business opportunities
- Meaningful work, essential to running New Zealand electricity system
Leadership role in helping Operations identify opportunities and plan strategies to harness them.
Transpower's purpose is to empower the energy future for New Zealand - a future that delivers a net-zero carbon economy and a reliable and secure electricity system.
About The Team
Our Operations Process and Technology Improvement (OPTI) group supports the Operations division to deliver solutions required to manage the real-time power system and prepare for an increasingly electrified future. The group plays an essential role in proactively identifying the critical capabilities, skills, resources, and support needed to meet current and future operational needs. The group is working to optimise planning and investment decisions across key tools and processes (including SCADA applications, market systems, real-time systems, and real-time asset management technologies) utilised by our control rooms and other areas of Transpower.
A new opportunity
Working closely with the Head of OPTI, you'll play a key role in bridging the gap between Operations business and Transpower's Information and Communications Technology capability by engaging with senior business stakeholders to clarify business drivers and objectives. You will understand the challenges Operations is facing, the opportunities ahead of us, and work closely with the OPTI leaders to turn these into work programmes so Operations can achieve its strategic outcomes. You'll be a core member of the OPTI management team, focused on ensuring the work delivered is meaningful, provides Operations the best value from our investments, and maintains a clear link to strategic outcomes.
Collaborating with the broader Operations Senior Leadership Team and a range of internal and external stakeholders, you'll support delivery of projects and contribute to a wide variety of interesting activities that enhance the efficiency of the OPTI Team.
You'll also work closely with other Architect roles in our Information Services and Technology division (IST), providing expert business architecture advice and support that is aligned with the System Operator/IST Operating plan.
Based in our Wellington or Hamilton offices, this is critical and meaningful work - essential to operating Aotearoa New Zealand's Electricity and Market Systems.
What will you bring?
You'll have significant experience in a business architecture role, along with strong interpersonal skills and excellent verbal and written communication to support the definition and documentation of business capabilities and processes.
With the ability to position yourself as a trusted advisor between the business and ICT, you'll be comfortable translating complex technical knowledge from subject matter experts into actionable, outcome-focused strategies and plans.
To be considered, your CV and cover letter will demonstrate:
- 10+ years' professional experience in business architecture, enterprise business analysis, project management, or a similar role.
- Commercial acuity and understanding of road maps, funding mechanisms, and financial management.
- Experience communicating complex business concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, and using visualisation and modelling to support future state analysis and road mapping.
- Outstanding relationship management, including astute ability to provide insightful, persuasive, and trusted advice to a diverse range of audiences including senior leaders.
- Experience with business architecture tools and frameworks, such as TOGAF, Zachman, or similar.
- A tertiary degree in business, information systems or a related field and/or equivalent experience.
Join us at Transpower
Aotearoa is powered by the people who work here. Every home, every marae, every electric vehicle, every hospital relies on the electricity we manage and deliver. This is your opportunity to join us on a mission that affects all New Zealanders - every day and long into the future.
With over 28 nationalities, our people provide diverse perspectives, knowledge, and deep and varied experience which they love to share.
We work in the office or on-site for a minimum of three days each week, which helps us build and maintain relationships, support learning, deliver outcomes, and sustain our culture. This approach also offers staff the flexibility they need for both work and personal commitments, with adaptable daily start and finish times.
Health and wellbeing is prioritised with a great range of employee benefits including health and income protection insurance.
Next steps

Role closes 12pm on Monday 28th April; however applications will be reviewed as they are received, and you may be contacted before the close date to arrange an initial informal conversation to facilitate shortlisting.
First interviews are scheduled to take place on the 13th and 14th of May 2025.
