Who we are
Service Victoria is the one place to go for government services. It's our job to make things easy. Our customers give our services an overall 96% satisfaction score, and our app was the most downloaded in Australia for 2021.
The Service Victoria culture is dynamic and fast-paced, we're not what you'd expect from a government department. Our senior leadership team and the corporate areas (finance, procurement, budget) are close-knit and collaborative, an integral part of the organisation. We work flexibly and remotely, using GovHub workspaces across Victoria for onsite collaboration. We have a mature digital services platform of contemporary cloud-based infrastructure, technical architecture and scalable and reusable common capabilities, with real-time integration into agency legacy systems. We use a range of market-leading technology, such as AWS, Salesforce, Node.js, React, MuleSoft, Sitecore (.NET), HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and Java. From a Salesforce point of view, we use areas such as Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, OmniStudio and Public Sector Solution.

About the role
As Service Victoria grows, and moves into its operational phase, we will continue to progressively add new transactions and new functionality to existing capabilities, including digital licences, digital proof of identity, online accounts and payments with a particular focus on our mobile app.
Service Victoria is now focused on building the future organisation and the appropriate IT organisation structure and capability that will allow the implemented solutions to be maintained, supported and expanded upon on an on-going basis. You will also have a chance to work on continuously improving our service offering by bringing in structured improvements based on data analytics and insights.

Flexible, hybrid, and remote working if you prefer (but you'll need to be based somewhere in Victoria as there's still a need to come to the office). Follow your ambition. Get the support you need to grow. There's plenty of room to move around and try new things. We foster supportive work environments and want a public sector workforce that's more diverse and inclusive. This means we're committed to the principles of equal opportunity and inclusion for all.
