Own end-to-end delivery against milestones, deliverables and acceptance criteria.

Lead mobilisation, discovery, design, build, testing, release, hypercare and BAU transition.

Manage integrated schedule, scope, RAID, dependencies, decisions and change control.

Coordinate business, architecture, cyber, platform, engineering and ICT operations teams.

Manage multiple application workloads and competing dependencies.

Drive architecture, security, accessibility and operational acceptance activities.

Maintain commercial discipline within an outcome/fixed-price delivery model.

Provide clear executive reporting and proactively resolve delivery blockers.

Lead knowledge transfer and establish sustainable Department capability.

Essential experience

10+ years leading complex digital/application programs.

Strong service-provider, systems-integrator or consulting-side delivery experience.

Demonstrated fixed-price, milestone or outcome-based delivery accountability.

Application development and/or modernisation programs.

Australian Government or similarly regulated environments.

Agile and DevOps/DevSecOps delivery.

Production releases, hypercare and transition-to-operations.

Strong executive stakeholder and commercial management.

Technology understanding

Good delivery-level understanding of Power Platform, Azure PaaS, Azure DevOps, DevSecOps, IaC/CaC, APIs/integration, identity/security and application lifecycle management.
