Head of Portfolio Delivery

**About the role**

As the Head of Portfolio Delivery, you will be a critical part of the Chief Information Office (CIO) leadership team and Great Southern Bank's broader Senior Leadership Team. You will work closely with our CIO, Executive Committee, and Enterprise Architecture team to inform and influence the long-term planning (3-5 years) of our horizons of strategic change. You will be directly responsible for the delivery of Enterprise projects, ensuring effective resourcing, dependency, and risk management, and fit for purpose delivery models to achieve agreed business outcomes across a portfolio of work.

As an integral leader in the enterprise transformation of Great Southern Bank, you will leverage your exceptional ability to foster relationships, coach, influence, and encourage cohesive ways of working across all levels and functions of the organisation.

In your role, through the insights you generate and the way you create influence with the executive, you will directly and significantly influence the successful execution of Great Southern Bank’s transformational change.
