And we’re not stopping there.

We're seeking an experienced IT Strategic Lead to drive a critical phase of an organisation-wide technology transformation. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for a strategic IT professional who can quickly assess the current environment, establish strong governance and operating foundations, and deliver practical improvements that position the organisation for long-term success.

Working closely with executive leadership, you'll lead the stabilisation of the IT function, develop a clear technology roadmap, strengthen governance, and prepare the organisation for future transformation initiatives, including a major ERP program. This is an outcomes-focused engagement where you'll make an immediate impact while leaving behind sustainable frameworks, processes, and capability. This role will be a 6-month contract based on-site in Sydney, NSW.

What You'll Do

• Provide strategic leadership to strengthen and modernise the IT function.
• Develop and implement an IT operating model that clearly defines strategic and operational responsibilities.
• Create a technology roadmap aligned to organisational priorities and future transformation initiatives.
• Establish IT governance frameworks, including project governance, decision-making structures, and demand management processes.
• Review the existing technology environment and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce technical debt, and optimise systems.
• Improve IT service delivery by embedding consistent processes and service management practices.
• Strengthen cyber governance, documentation, risk management, and compliance.
• Assess team capability, identify skills gaps, and recommend workforce and sourcing strategies.
• Build strong relationships with executive leaders, business stakeholders, and technology teams to drive organisational change.
• Develop KPIs, governance artefacts, and transition plans to support the next phase of the IT transformation.

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience in senior IT leadership roles, ideally delivering IT transformation, operating model redesign, or large-scale organisational change.
• Strong expertise across IT strategy, governance, enterprise architecture, service delivery, and technology project delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to translate strategic objectives into practical, achievable outcomes.
• Experience establishing governance frameworks, demand management processes, and effective ways of working.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership style with the ability to build capability and drive sustainable change.
• Tertiary qualifications in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent senior leadership experience.
• Professional certifications such as ITIL, COBIT, TOGAF, or similar will be highly regarded.
