  • Embed governance, security, and compliance standards across all enterprise applications

What you’ll bring

  • Proven experience in senior applications management or IT leadership roles
  • Strong technical knowledge across enterprise ecosystems such as ERP, PLM, BI, SaaS platforms, integration technologies, Atlassian tools, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or ServiceNow
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams and influence across matrixed organisations to deliver outcomes
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, vendor management, and project delivery capability
  • Excellent communication, organisational and analytical skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities
  • Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline

Desirable experience:
