Reporting to the Service Director, Medicare Mental Health Check-In, you will design the ongoing operating model and build and lead a focused technology team of approximately four to six people. You will be accountable for service reliability, vendor performance, security compliance and the delivery of future platform improvements.

Working across a Microsoft Azure cloud environment, Microsoft Dynamics 365, web portals and integrated application and data services, you will collaborate with internal technology specialists, service delivery teams and external partners.

• Establish and continuously improve service management processes for incidents, problems, changes and system configuration, aligned with recognised information technology service management practices.
• Plan and deliver platform improvements, system releases and technology projects while balancing service continuity, government obligations and future needs.
• Build effective relationships with St Vincent’s technology, clinical and operational teams, senior leaders, suppliers and the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
• Support operational governance, risk management, performance reporting and audit readiness across the technology service.

About You:

You are an accomplished technology leader who combines strong technical understanding with sound commercial judgement and a practical, people-centred approach.

You have successfully moved complex digital services from project delivery into sustainable operations and know how to build the teams, processes and partnerships required for long-term success.

You are confident leading through change, managing multiple service providers and engaging senior stakeholders. You bring a strong focus on accountability, security, service reliability and continuous improvement.

You will bring:

• Extensive experience in technology management, including leading cross-functional teams in complex environments involving multiple suppliers.
• Demonstrated experience transitioning a substantial project delivery team into a lean, sustainable business-as-usual operating model. This experience is essential.
• Strong practical experience with Microsoft Azure cloud platforms, including infrastructure, application hosting, development and operations processes, and integration services.
• Experience overseeing managed security operations, security monitoring providers and government security compliance and assurance activities.
• Proven vendor, contract and service level management skills, including negotiation, performance oversight and issue resolution.
• Strong incident management and information technology service management capability, with experience establishing effective operational processes.
