The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) Payday Super represents a transformative opportunity to modernize the Super Guarantee (SG) system, addressing the estimated $5.1 billion in unpaid SG annually and improving retirement incomes for millions of Australians. It introduces a core requirement for employers to make super contributions to funds within seven calendar days of payday, significantly accelerating current processes.

The implementation of Payday Super involves extensive collaboration across the SG ecosystem, including employers, digital service providers, gateways, clearing houses, super funds, and the ATO. Preparations include adapting systems, workflows, and compliance practices to meet the faster pace required by the new system. Legislative changes are being developed by Treasury, while the ATO and industry stakeholders work proactively to align with upcoming requirements.

Key to this transition is the ATO's enhanced capability to match Single Touch Payroll data with super contribution reports. This allows for proactive compliance monitoring and faster intervention when employers fail to meet obligations, ensuring more timely contributions for workers. Payday Super will drive significant operational and cultural shifts within the superannuation industry, requiring readiness for faster data processing and regulatory responses.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead the end-to-end management of the Payday Super program, ensuring timely and effective delivery of objectives.
- Oversee multiple, interdependent projects across various stakeholders, including employers, digital service providers, clearing houses, super funds, and the ATO.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, industry representatives, and technology providers.
- Facilitate collaboration and alignment between stakeholders to ensure seamless implementation.
- Develop and execute comprehensive program plans, including timelines, milestones, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies.
- Monitor program performance, ensuring alignment with legislative and operational requirements.
- Manage change initiatives to support stakeholders in adapting to the faster pace of Payday Super processes.
- Coordinate communication strategies to keep all stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the program lifecycle.
- Ensure compliance with legislative requirements and industry standards.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate program risks to achieve successful outcomes.
- Provide regular progress updates to leadership and stakeholders.
- Utilize data insights to inform decision-making and drive proactive issue resolution.

Skills and Experience:

- Proven experience in program or project management, preferably in large-scale, cross-sector initiatives.
- Strong understanding of superannuation systems, regulatory environments, and legislative processes.
- Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects with competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience in data-driven decision-making and performance tracking.
- Familiarity with government or public-sector project delivery.
- Certification in program or project management methodologies (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile).

**HOW TO APPLY**

**NOTE**: You are not required to meet all the Key Responsibilities and Skills and Experience criteria. However, your level of achievement in these areas will determine the APS level and corresponding remuneration you qualify for.
