Role purposeSolution Architect – Salesforce FocusWe’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Solution Architect with deep Salesforce expertise — someone who thrives in complexity, sees the bigger enterprise picture, and can design solutions that scale.
In this role, you’ll shape high impact architectures spanning customer, corporate and digital ecosystems. While Salesforce is a critical enterprise platform, you’ll architect end-to-end solutions across multiple domains, working closely with business leaders, delivery teams, platform owners and external partners to turn strategy into executable, value driving outcomes.
If you love influencing at the highest levels while staying close to the tech, this role gives you the best of both worlds.

Stakeholder Engagement
Build strong, influential relationships with senior business and technology leaders.
Partner with Program Managers, Product Owners, BAs and delivery teams across the lifecycle.
Work across corporate, customer and digital domains to ensure alignment and consistency.
Architecture Craft & Innovation
Produce and govern architecture artefacts including Solution, as well as contributing to patterns, principles and templates to uplift architecture practice.
Evaluate technology options using structured, enterprise aligned approaches.
Identify innovative opportunities to enhance customer experiences and business performance.
Mentor and support other architects and technologists.

From Chadstone to Joondalup, and Chatswood to Elizabeth, Vicinity’s destinations span the breadth of our great sunburnt country. Our destinations serve as important hubs for our communities, whether it’s in housing essential grocery stores or pharmacies, offering Australia’s largest collection of luxury retail brands, or providing a spot to share a bite with family and friends with places to dine offering cuisine from every corner of the planet. Our destinations are evolving, delivering an unparalleled data-led retail mix to offer new experiences to maintain their market-leading positions. We’re on an exciting journey to shaping meaningful places where communities connect. We manage over 2.5-million square metres of leasable space and with such a large footprint, we know our commitment to sustainability can have a real impact on the everyday lives of our communities. Our sustainability journey is never-ending but to date has seen us focus on social sustainability in the form of a Modern Slavery Statement and responsible procurement policies, and on environmental sustainability with our market-leading $75-million investment in solar energy systems at more than 20 destinations nationally, and waste reduction practices. With so much going on, change is the only constant at Vicinity, and we love it!
