About the role
Reporting to the Chief Enterprise Services Officer and sitting on the Enterprise Services Senior Leadership Team, you will be VicTrack’s most senior technology leader. You will be accountable for technology, digital capability, data management and cyber security across the internal operating environment, leading a team of approximately 30 spanning strategy and architecture, portfolio and business engagement, program delivery, enterprise applications, digital enablement, and technology operations and security.
