  • Technology Operations: Oversee the transition of initiatives to BAU, ensuring services remain uninterrupted and that operational teams are prepared to maintain service levels.
  • Data-driven Decision Making: Use data analytics to identify optimisation opportunities, track progress against savings targets, and assess the effectiveness of cost-reduction initiatives. Make informed decisions based on insights and quantifiable data.
  • Thought Leadership and Innovation: Bring a forward-thinking perspective to technology optimisation, challenging the status quo and promoting new ideas that align with best practices. Drive two-way communication to achieve solutions that maximise organisational value.
  • Leadership and Team Development: Proactively collaborate across Endeavour, recruit and develop a high-calibre team, and foster a culture that values diversity, trust, and collaboration.
Capabilities & Competencies
  • Leadership: Proven experience inspiring diverse teams, driving performance, and cultivating a culture of trust and inclusion.
  • Communication & Influence: Exceptional communication skills to effectively influence stakeholders and explain complex technology concepts in an accessible manner.
  • Technical Proficiency: Knowledge of technology infrastructure, cloud services, and emerging trends, with the ability to apply this knowledge pragmatically.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., computer science, engineering, business administration).
  • Demonstrated success in leading technology optimisation or cost-reduction initiatives, with a proven track record of substantial savings.
  • Strong financial and analytical skills, experience in business case development, and strategic visioning for long-term technology optimisation.
  • Experience in negotiating technology vendor agreements, with experience managing complex commercial contracts.
  • Experience with program management in large-scale technology transformations, with a solid grasp of various delivery methodologies.
  • Comprehensive understanding of risk management in technology projects.
  • Experience working with outsourcing partners to achieve significant business outcomes.

Desirable:

  • Advanced degrees or certifications (e.g., MBA, PMP) and experience in matrixed or agile organisations.
  • Prior experience in large-scale retail or hospitality industries.
  • Familiarity with technology optimisation in contexts like demergers or corporate separations.

  • An exclusive discount card for BWS, Dan Murphy's, Woolworths, BIG W and other Endeavour Group brands, including our ALH pubs.
  • Monthly meeting-free days.
