What’s the role?

The Senior Manager – Business Enablement is a pivotal role that enables effective execution across a fast-paced, multi-priority environment. The role applies deep experience in change management, communications and governance to connect strategy to delivery, providing clarity, structure and momentum while minimising effort and complexity for teams.

The role supports effective agile delivery by helping shape work into clear initiatives, work packages and sprint-aligned priorities, enabling teams to maintain focus, momentum and transparency while delivering meaningful outcomes.

The role also builds a strong understanding of work in flight and outcomes being delivered, identifying opportunities to add value and uplift clarity, prioritisation and transparency throughout execution. As a self-starter and member of the Extended Technology Business Controls and Monitoring Leadership Team, this role brings a strong end-to-end perspective, independently prioritising work, anticipating needs and implementing a connected operating model across strategy, delivery and adoption that enables high-impact outcomes using a “less is more” approach.

Please note, this is a Sydney‑based role. Candidates should have a technology background, ideally within risk technology, experience operating at GM level within leadership teams, and a mix of project management and change expertise. The role requires experience working across multiple initiatives simultaneously and the ability to effectively multitask in a fast‑paced environment.

Key responsibilities

• Provide pragmatic guidance to enable effective execution across multiple fast‑paced initiatives.
• Size and structure initiatives based on scope and complexity, using agile plans and ways of working where needed.
• Prioritise independently to focus effort on the highest‑impact outcomes.
• Enable effective change, governance, and communication through a minimal‑touch, agile‑aligned approach.
• Simplify delivery by connecting strategy, execution, and adoption while improving visibility of work, dependencies, and milestones.

What do I need?

• Strong experience in change management, communications and governance – Technology / Risk transformation experience preferred.
• Solid understanding of Agile delivery concepts, including sprints, work packages, backlog prioritisation and iterative delivery.
• Proven ability to operate across multiple priorities using sound judgement and structured prioritisation.
• Proven capability to engage, influence and work effectively with senior leaders, providing clear advice, direction and support.
• End‑to‑end mindset with the ability to anticipate needs, risks and dependencies.
• Ability to translate complex concepts into clear, concise and easy‑to‑understand content for a range of audiences and channels.
• Confident self‑starter who brings clarity, structure and momentum in fast‑moving or ambiguous environments.
