• Working directly with IT, business areas, application development teams, provide insight and assistance with the scoping, costing, planning and delivery of new application services.

About The Team
Indigo Program: The Indigo Program is a once in a generation program to support the delivery of election and roll management services with modern technology and is built on delivering capability maturity improvements with a focus on users. Fundamental to the Indigo Program is supporting the agency-wide cultural shift to a client-focussed culture. The first phase of the program is building the foundational systems and capabilities that will underpin future election delivery and the transformation of the engines of democracy.

We are now moving onto the second phase of the Indigo Program which is designed to:

• Increase the integrity of, and public trust in, the Australian electoral process
• Make it easier for citizens to engage with the electoral process
• Improve productivity and efficiency of the AEC, its employees and partners
• Enhance AEC's ability to sustain change and adapt into the future

Work Arrangements
Hybrid - Applicants will preferably perform the role in Canberra, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide or Hobart. Hybrid working arrangements (i.e. a combination of onsite attendance at an AEC office and remote working) will be considered at the discretion of the Hiring Manager.
