Head of Technology Services

Are you ready to lead transformative technology initiatives that directly impact lives?

MSWA is seeking a visionary Head of Technology Services to lead the delivery of secure, efficient, and user-centric technology solutions across the organisation. This pivotal role oversees everything from cloud platforms and infrastructure to data governance, cybersecurity, and service desk operations.

As the Head of Technology Services, you'll collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, vendors, and your team to drive strategic initiatives - including digital transformation, ITIL-based service excellence, and a security-first mindset.

Your day might begin with a strategic stand-up with your leadership team, aligning on key priorities such as rolling out a new AI-driven data platform or refining the cybersecurity practices to meet ISO 27001 standards. Mid-morning, you might meet with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure technology solutions are aligned with business needs—whether it's enhancing Salesforce workflows or integrating new reporting tools.

Afternoons could involve reviewing service desk metrics, mentoring team leads or collaborating with vendors to optimise infrastructure costs. You'll also play a key role in fostering a culture of continuous improvement, inclusivity, and customer service excellence - ensuring your team feels empowered and supported.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a purpose-driven environment, and who can balance strategic vision with hands-on leadership. You'll work closely with the Chief Transformation Officer and other senior leaders to ensure technology is not just a support function—but a catalyst for innovation, efficiency, and impact.
