For over 75 years, Access Industries has empowered people living with disability through inclusive services, creating meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities that improve lives. With a strong reputation, established commercial operations and a commitment to inclusion, the organisation combines social impact with operational excellence and commercial sustainability.

A key focus will be identifying opportunities to leverage AI, automation, data and emerging technologies to improve business processes, strengthen decision-making and create more efficient and accessible ways of working.
This is not a traditional, infrastructure-focused role. You will combine enterprise-wide strategic thinking with practical delivery, challenging conventional approaches and developing innovative, commercially sustainable technology solutions.

- Identify and implement opportunities for AI, intelligent automation and emerging technologies to improve productivity, accessibility and decision-making.
- Partner with business leaders to improve processes, strengthen operational performance and ensure technology solutions align with organisational needs.
- Lead organisational change and digital adoption, building confidence and capability across employees with varying levels of technology experience.
- Oversee technology infrastructure, cyber security, information governance and service resilience to support reliable operations.
- Lead and develop the internal technology function, managing strategic vendors, partnerships and technology investment priorities.
- Provide strategic advice to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team and Board, translating complex technology considerations into clear commercial recommendations.
You're an innovative, commercially minded technology leader who combines enterprise-wide strategic thinking with hands-on delivery capability. You have demonstrated success leading complex digital transformation, implementing enterprise applications and guiding organisations through significant technology and business process change. You will also have:
- Extensive senior leadership experience delivering enterprise-wide digital transformation, with proven experience executing complex ERP, CRM and enterprise application implementations, from solution design and architecture through to systems integration, rollout, adoption and measurable business outcomes.
- Strong enterprise architecture and integration capability, with experience connecting technology, data and business processes across multiple operational functions.
- Experience with Microsoft technologies, including Dynamics 365, Business Central, Power Platform and Azure, is highly regarded.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI, automation and innovative technology solutions to deliver practical business improvements.
- Strong commercial acumen and a resourceful approach to technology investment, with the ability to deliver outcomes while managing budgets and competing priorities.
- Proven organisational change leadership, with the ability to build digital capability and influence stakeholders across multiple sites and levels.
- Experience within manufacturing, warehousing, complex B2B or operational environments, with exposure to SAP, Oracle or physical technology integration advantageous.
- Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, a collaborative and hands-on leadership style, and the ability to translate technology strategy into practical outcomes.
