About the Company

Davidson Technology are working with a large Queensland Government organisation to secure an experienced Program Director to lead a major enterprise Workforce Mobility Project.

The organisation operates a complex enterprise technology environment supporting a large and geographically dispersed workforce. Its technology landscape includes enterprise workforce management, integrated rostering, SAP payroll, SAP S/4HANA and SuccessFactors solutions.

The Workforce Mobility Project will leverage contemporary enterprise HR and workforce solutions to streamline workforce mobility and HR processes across the employee lifecycle. The project will support a large and growing workforce through a single source of core HR and employee records, simplified workflows and guided processes.

About the Role

As the Program Director, you will report to a senior executive and lead the delivery of a large, enterprise-wide Human Capital Management project within a complex Queensland Government environment.

You will provide strategic leadership across the full program lifecycle, including business case development, planning, implementation, monitoring, reporting, assurance and continuous improvement. You will lead and oversee the delivery of enterprise programs and projects, ensuring outcomes are achieved within agreed scope, budget, quality and timeframes.

The role will involve establishing and maintaining effective governance, coordination, risk management and performance oversight. You will build strong relationships across government and with industry partners to support collaboration, negotiation, procurement, vendor management and informed decision-making.

You will also provide leadership across complex ICT and information management initiatives, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities, government objectives and whole-of-government frameworks. The role requires a strong focus on information management, privacy, cyber security, confidentiality and compliance with relevant Queensland Government policies and standards.

The position is full-time and based in the Brisbane CBD. Flexible working arrangements, including remote work, may be considered subject to operational requirements and approval. Due to the delivery requirements of the project, occasional work outside standard business hours may be required to support critical milestones.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced Program Director, Senior Program Manager or transformation leader with a strong track record delivering large-scale Human Capital Management, HR transformation, workforce management, payroll or rostering programs.

You will bring demonstrated experience leading complex enterprise programs from business case and planning through to implementation, assurance, reporting and continuous improvement. You will have strong capability across program governance, risk management, financial oversight, stakeholder engagement, procurement, vendor management and delivery assurance.

Experience with SAP HCM implementations is desirable. Exposure to SAP SuccessFactors, SAP payroll, SAP S/4HANA, enterprise HR systems or integrated workforce management solutions will also be highly regarded.

You will be confident working with senior stakeholders across government and industry, with the ability to build trusted relationships, negotiate effectively and translate strategic priorities into meaningful delivery outcomes. Experience working in the public sector or a similarly large, complex and highly regulated environment will be advantageous.

You will demonstrate strong leadership behaviours, including strategic thinking, sound decision-making, talent development, mentoring, collaboration and effective governance. You will be comfortable operating in complex environments and leading diverse teams and delivery partners through significant organisational and technology change.

The successful candidate will also be required to comply with relevant organisational and Queensland Government privacy, information security, cyber security, confidentiality and conflict-of-interest requirements.

The Benefits

This is an opportunity to lead a high-profile, enterprise-wide workforce transformation project within a major Queensland Government organisation and contribute to the modernisation and improvement of critical HR and workforce processes.

You will work with senior stakeholders across government and industry and gain exposure to contemporary enterprise HR, workforce management, payroll, rostering and SAP-enabled solutions.

The role is based in Brisbane CBD on a full-time basis, with flexible working arrangements, including remote work, potentially available subject to operational requirements and approval.
