• Govern Change Enablement, reviewing Requests for Change for risk, impact and readiness, participating in CAB meetings, managing schedules and dependencies, and monitoring change outcomes.

• Produce operational and executive reporting, support audits, and ensure ITSM practices remain aligned with contractual obligations, policies, government controls and ITIL best practices.

• You communicate effectively and build productive relationships across business stakeholders, technical teams, government stakeholders, service providers and vendors.
• You have experience producing governance and executive‑level reporting, with the ability to work effectively across multiple technical and business teams.
• Experience working within Australian Government or regulated environments, SIAM or multi‑vendor service management, and CMDB, Knowledge Management and Continual Improvement practices is desirable.
