Principal, Data Platforms

If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you've likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We're now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.

For us, these are exciting times. There's a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

**Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours**

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we've been doing it for over 170 years.

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

**How you'll make an impact**

In this pivotal role, you will spearhead AMP's enterprise-wide data strategy, treating data as a critical organisational asset. You will provide visionary leadership in harnessing the power of data to unlock innovation, drive business growth, and elevate customer experiences. As a key member of the IT leadership team, you will collaborate closely with business units to ensure technology investments align with strategic priorities. Your deep expertise in data governance, platforms, and emerging technologies will be instrumental in uplifting AMP's IT infrastructure capabilities. You will champion a culture of continuous improvement, optimising costs while maximizing returns on data investments. Additionally, you will build high-performing teams, nurturing talent and succession planning to sustain long-term success. Through your ability to forge strategic partnerships with vendors and service providers, you will ensure AMP benefits from global best practices and cutting-edge solutions.

**What you will bring to the team**

To thrive in this leadership position, you will bring a proven track record of success in senior data roles within the financial services industry coupled with in-depth understanding of data governance principles and strong ability to translate business needs into IT requirements. You have demonstrated expertise in driving large-scale data teams, change initiatives, leveraging your strong leadership abilities and experience in matrix management structures. Your hands-on experience in leading agile environments will be invaluable as you navigate the ever-evolving technology landscape. Complementing your technical prowess, you bring problem-solving capabilities, enabling you to analyse complex issues and improve existing methodologies. Your deep understanding of the organisation's competitive environment and your ability to contribute to new products, processes, and business plans will be vital in aligning data strategy with overarching organisation goals.

**You'll thrive here if...**

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you'll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset.

Because we run lean, you'll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you'll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.

If you're someone that can hold their own, you'll find AMP quite liberating.

**Why we think you'll love working at AMP**

Doing what we've always done is not an option, so your clever ideas will get airtime here. You'll be encouraged to speak up and try new things. If they don't work, we move on - better for it.

We know there's no one way of doing things. So, you won't have to sacrifice who you are or how you work to fit in here. We're inclusive and flexible in many of the ways you'd expect. And in some of the ways you wouldn't. As long as your health and wellbeing come first - at home and at work.

In fact, most of what makes AMP such a welcoming, enjoyable place to work are our people. Wherever you go, you'll find moments to connect, feel valued and do meaningful work.

Whether it's through our first-class leaders who are invested in you and your success. Through year-round opportunities to volunteer, fundraise and give back to the community. Or in the everyday challenges you face as we work together to strengthen this great organisation. Challenges that will stretch you, amplify your potential and compound the impact you have.

**We believe in the power of inclusion and diversity**

We're dedicated to fostering inclusion, diversity, and a warm feeling of belonging at AMP. It sparks creativity, ignites innovation, and turns up the dial on the quality of our decisions and performance. This not only makes our workplace more engaged, but also leads to better connections with our customers.

We're your allies in the search for the perfect fit - when you apply, let us know how we can support you to put your best self forward during our selection process.
