About the Care & Recovery Program (CRP)

The Care & Recovery Program (CRP) is a Victoria-wide workers' compensation transformation programme led by Return to Work (RTW) Victoria. The program spans a multi-year delivery timeline — from Discover & Validate through Design & Build, Deploy, and Go-Live — with full implementation running from 2026 through to 2029.

The CRP is designed to transform the way injured workers are supported: reducing harm, improving Return to Work (RTW) outcomes, and modernising the systems, processes, and data that underpin the Victorian workers' compensation scheme.

About the role

The Business Delivery Manager acts as the Program Manager for Allianz within the Care & Recovery Program (CRP). You will drive Allianz's end-to-end readiness and delivery across all five workstreams, managing the intersection of program delivery, organisational change, and stakeholder accountability.

1. Understanding the Business

Develop and maintain a deep, current understanding of Allianz's operating model, business challenges, and the impacts of the CRP transformation on our people, processes, systems, and data within the Victorian workers' compensation environment.

• Map business impacts across Allianz's operations and identify areas requiring focused readiness effort
• Provide business context to the CRP to ensure program outputs are practically actionable
• Represent Allianz's operational realities in program governance forums

2. Connecting the Program to the Organisation

Serve as the two-way conduit between the Care & Recovery Program (CRP) and Allianz — ensuring program intelligence flows into the business, and business needs are represented at the program level.

• Maintain active participation in CRP engagement forums and Return to Work (RTW) Victoria governance sessions
• Translate CRP artefacts, decisions, and directions into clear internal communications and actions
• Ensure Allianz's requirements, risks, and dependencies are visible within the CRP program structure

3. Translating Strategy into Action

Convert CRP program outputs and strategic direction into concrete, time-bound organisational plans that drive delivery across all five workstreams.

• Develop and manage integrated action plans across Change & Implementation, Product & Process, Data & Reporting, Technology & Testing, and RTW Victoria workstreams
• Oversee end-to-end delivery of business initiatives: on time, within scope, and within budget
• Maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and resource allocation to support delivery milestones
• Monitor delivery performance against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and provide timely reporting to leadership

4. Driving Readiness and Adoption

Lead Allianz's organisational readiness across people, process, technology, and data — ensuring the business is prepared to adopt CRP changes at every stage of deployment.

• Conduct and own impact assessments across all CRP workstreams
• Develop and execute readiness, change, and learning plans in alignment with CRP timelines
• Coordinate Allianz's participation in system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and technology integration activities
• Drive deployment planning and manage go-live preparation across all impacted teams

5. Delivering Organisational Accountability

Act as Allianz's single accountable owner for the CRP, coordinating delivery participation across teams, managing risks, dependencies, and governance obligations throughout the program lifecycle.

• Proactively identify and mitigate risks, and manage cross-team dependencies
• Engage stakeholders through transparent communication and structured governance
• Support change management strategies to ensure smooth adoption of new processes and systems
• Manage program budgets, forecasts, and financial performance reporting
