  • Coordinate priorities, resolve delivery challenges, and manage dependencies across teams and platforms to achieve integrated enterprise outcomes
  • Drive delivery excellence by outlining data team deliverables, maintaining delivery health, and embedding agile and continuous improvement practices to enhance team flow and responsiveness
  • Proactively manage risks, issues, and dependencies across teams and project work, escalating critical items and ensuring governance standards are met
  • Provide transparent reporting on delivery status, risks, and performance metrics to leadership, ensuring visibility and alignment with program and portfolio objectives

About You

To succeed in this role, you will also demonstrate:

  • Proven experience (5+ years) leading the end-to-end delivery of data initiatives in large, complex enterprise environments, ideally within sectors such as financial services, health services, or other regulated industries
  • Day-to-day coordination on progress, prioritisation and problem solving with the data implementation team
  • Ability to translate complex data concepts into strategic business outcomes, ensuring alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Strong familiarity with modern data technologies, including Databricks, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
  • Solid understanding of data governance principles, including data quality, metadata, lineage, and stewardship
  • Awareness of regulatory frameworks relevant to data and information security (e.g. APRA CPG 235)
  • Demonstrated capability in managing delivery risks, dependencies, and governance across concurrent initiatives in fast paced environments
  • Commercial acumen with experience in budget management, resource planning, and vendor engagement.
  • Tertiary qualifications in IT, Business, Data, or a related field from a recognised institution
  • Experience in creating project work plans and using delivery management tools (e.g., Jira, Wrike) to manage execution and reporting is desirable
  • Tech-savvy and good understanding of recent technologies and terminologies including modern data platforms and BI tools
  • Work as a trusted advisor providing thought leadership to key stakeholders across IT & Business Units
