Business Specialist

HCL Technologies Limited is hiring a full-time Business Specialist to join its onsite team in AU. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technology, offering you a chance to help shape how initiatives are funded, governed, and implemented across the organization. The company operates as a global technology services provider, and this position is aimed at someone who enjoys cross-functional collaboration and turning strategic goals into concrete action.

As a trusted advisor to business leaders, solution architects, and project stakeholders, you’ll work across business and IT teams to ensure technology investments align with transformation objectives. The role leans on established frameworks and industry best practices, including TOGAF, to drive roadmaps, governance, and capability planning.

If you thrive in a setting where you can translate complex requirements into architecture-driven plans and partner with senior leadership to push digital transformation, this opportunity could be a strong fit for you.

Day-to-day work in a cross-functional environment

Your daily rhythm will involve collaborating with executives, solution architects, infrastructure and security teams, as well as application owners to convert business needs into enterprise-level technology strategies. You’ll help define and maintain an architecture landscape, participate in governance processes, and lead or contribute to architecture reviews. Expect to shape standards, reference models, and reusable design patterns so teams can move faster while staying compliant with regulatory requirements. You’ll also support cloud transformation, infrastructure modernization, and application rationalization as part of broader transformation initiatives, while keeping a clear eye on reducing technical debt through thoughtful architecture planning. Across all of this, you’ll map business capabilities to value streams and coordinate with stakeholders to ensure programs stay aligned with IT strategy and business goals.

• Strong track record presenting architectural recommendations to senior management
• Exposure to Zero Trust and other enterprise security initiatives

Advice for applicants

Put your TOGAF credentials and hands-on EA work up front on your resume, and connect them directly to the ADM lifecycle you’ve led or participated in. If you’ve worked across Vision, Business, Data, Application, and Technology architectures, call that out clearly with concrete examples of how you shaped outcomes.

Show how you’ve driven governance in practice. Mention specific architecture review processes you implemented or led, the standards you established, and how you guided teams to follow reference models and reusable design patterns. If you’ve led ARBs, describe the outcome and the impact on project velocity or risk reduction.

Be ready to talk about security-by-design principles you’ve embedded into architecture work. Explain how you aligned with Cyber Security, Risk Management, and Compliance teams, and share a scenario where you mitigated a risk or strengthened controls within a transformation program.

Ask a targeted question to finish. For example: how does the Architecture Review Board operate here, and how does the enterprise architecture program connect to ongoing transformation initiatives and investment roadmaps?
