Job description

/ Shape the Future of Data, AI & Commercial Innovation

/ Newly Created Executive Leadership Role

Land Services SA, together with Land Services WA, forms a leading property services group providing property information, valuation, technology and transaction services across multiple jurisdictions. Employing more than 250 people across South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and New South Wales, the Group delivers trusted solutions to government, financial and insurance institutions, legal professionals and the real estate sector. Recent acquisitions have further strengthened the Group's technology consulting, application development and managed services capability.

Reporting to the CEO and joining the Executive Leadership Team, the Group Chief Data Officer is a newly created role established to lead the organisation's enterprise-wide data and AI agenda. Holding accountability for data governance, analytics, data platforms, AI strategy and data commercialisation, you will evolve the Group's data and AI strategy while fostering a data-driven culture across the organisation. A key initial priority will be leading responsible AI adoption, establishing governance frameworks, standards and guardrails that balance innovation with risk management. Working closely with the Chief Information Officer and Chief Product Officer, this role sits at the intersection of technology, commercialisation and enterprise transformation, helping shape how data and AI drive growth, productivity, customer outcomes and future revenue opportunities, while identifying new ways to commercialise data assets and create value across the business.

A commercially astute and influential executive, you will bring deep expertise in enterprise data leadership, governance, analytics and AI. You will have a proven track record leading large-scale data functions, driving enterprise-wide transformation and unlocking measurable business value through data and technology. Experience commercialising data assets, building executive and Board confidence and navigating complex stakeholder environments will be highly regarded. Equally important is your ability to balance strategic vision with operational delivery, translate complex concepts into practical outcomes and build high-performing teams. You are a collaborative leader with strong commercial judgement and intellectual credibility, with the confidence to champion innovation and growth opportunities while maintaining disciplined governance and risk management.

This is a rare opportunity with significant scope to define the function and shape how data and AI create value across a tech focused organisation.
