Job Description

Head of Technology | Enterprise Technology, Cyber & Data Leadership

Melbourne / Sydney

Aula Energy is building a portfolio of solar, wind and battery assets that will help power Australia’s clean energy future. As we transition from renewable developer to long term asset owner, technology is becoming a critical enabler of how we operate, manage risk and generate performance insights across our portfolio.

We are looking for a Head of Technology to establish and lead Aula’s enterprise technology environment. This is not a traditional CIO role running a large internal IT department. It is a hands on leadership role focused on architecture, cyber security, data and vendor orchestration within a deliberately lean operating model.

You will define how Aula owns and governs its technology environment while working through specialist delivery partners.

You will:

• Define and maintain a coherent enterprise technology architecture aligned to Aula’s operating model and growth plans

• Ensure cyber security governance and SOCI obligations are clearly owned, coordinated and implemented

• Lead Aula’s ecosystem of technology vendors and managed service providers

• Establish reliable, trusted data platforms supporting executive, Board and investor reporting

• Connect technology capability to enterprise needs across Finance, Asset Management, Projects and Corporate Services

• Support integration of newly acquired assets and platforms into Aula’s technology environment

• Ensure technology capability scales with portfolio growth without unnecessary complexity or cost

You bring:

• Experience leading technology functions in infrastructure, energy, utilities or similarly complex operating environments

• Strong technology architecture and systems integration capability

• Experience governing outsourced technology providers and managed service environments

• Practical understanding of cyber security risk and critical infrastructure environments

• Digital fluency across cloud platforms, enterprise systems and modern data environments

• Comfort operating hands on in a lean, fast moving organisation

• Experience in renewable energy or asset intensive industries, and exposure to operational technology (OT), SCADA interfaces or asset performance platforms will be beneficial.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the technology backbone of a growing renewable energy owner.

Power up the future with us.

What We Offer

Join a dynamic, collaborative team making a real difference in Australia’s energy transition - and play a role in shaping the people, culture, and capability that will drive our future.

Depending on eligibility and location, Aula Energy employees can access a wide range of benefits, including:

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements

• Wellbeing and service bonus leave

• Up to 20 weeks paid parental leave

• Paid volunteer leave

• Range of benefits to support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing
