What you'll do Reporting to the CFO and working closely with the CEO and executive team, you'll lead the organisation's technology and transformation strategy.
Your remit will include:
Managing a small internal team of 8 across IT, data, and transformation functions
Replacing the organisation's core system and CRM to deliver seamless, customer-first and employee-friendly processes
Designing and implementing an enterprise data strategy to improve decision-making, strengthen governance, and lay the foundations for AI and automation
Overhauling customer-facing and field service tools to streamline workflows, integrate with partners, and improve responsiveness
Uplifting cybersecurity, governance, and operating model maturity to reduce risk and increase resilience
Coaching, capability-building, and evolving team structure to create a future-ready internal function
Leading people and process change to ensure adoption and cultural alignment
Overseeing the end-to-end change strategy and managing vendors to deliver against milestones and outcomes
This transformation will deliver measurable business impact across four core pillars:
Technology Enablement – replacing outdated systems and digitising workflows to reduce manual effort and improve service delivery.
Data Maturity – moving from fragmented, inconsistent reporting to an enterprise-grade governance model that enables real-time insights.
Customer & Staff Experience – embedding tools and processes that make it easier for staff to serve customers, and for customers to self-serve when needed.
Operational Resilience – strengthening security, governance, and continuity frameworks to support sustainable growth.
You'll be supported by external consulting partners throughout the entire program, with full autonomy to shape direction, influence sequencing, select vendors, and lead delivery (from initial design through to embedded value).
Who you'll do it for A community services organisation with a deep sense of mission, based on Sydney's North Shore and supporting thousands across NSW. Backed by strong leadership, financial stability, and a shared belief that systems and data must work better to deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes, this is an environment ready for change.
With funding secured and a clear strategy in place, you'll join a leadership team committed to making this transformation a success.
What you'll need Proven experience as a Head of IT or CIO with enterprise-wide transformation delivery, including system and people change
Strong vendor management capability and experience with consulting partners
Track record of shaping IT and data strategies in complex or underdeveloped environments
Experience uplifting governance, cyber, and enterprise data maturity
