About this Technical Consultant role at Macquarietechnologygroup
The Opportunity:
This is not your typical pre-sales role. It's an opportunity to sit at the intersection of technology, strategy and government, helping shape how Australia's government organisations approach their most complex technology challenges.
Macquarie Government is looking for an experienced Technical Consultant to bring deep technical expertise across Cloud and Cyber Security, partnering with our Government Sales team to identify opportunities, develop innovative solutions and influence strategic technology decisions across Federal and State Government.
You'll be the trusted technical advisor to senior government stakeholders, translating complex business challenges into practical technology solutions. From developing strategic roadmaps and business cases through to designing complex solutions and leading major bids, you'll play a pivotal role in helping our customers achieve their technology ambitions.
Working closely with Sales, Product, Architecture and Engineering teams, you'll also help shape our future service offerings, strengthen strategic partnerships and position Macquarie Government as a trusted technology partner.
If you enjoy solving complex problems, influencing at the executive level and being at the forefront of Australia's evolving technology landscape, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
