Job description

Perigon Group is partnering with an established, purpose-led organisation to recruit an experienced IT Director to lead its technology function.

Based in Sydney, the organisation delivers services that make a positive impact on the community. This is an opportunity to shape technology strategy, strengthen internal capability and drive improvements across systems, security and business processes.

The Role

Working within a lean internal team supported by external technology providers, you will provide strategic direction and ensure technology services remain secure, reliable and aligned with business needs.

The focus is on technology leadership, governance and supplier management, rather than day-to-day technical support or infrastructure engineering.

Reporting to a senior executive, you will lead a small internal technology function and work closely with business leaders and external partners to deliver the technology roadmap.

The Responsibilities:

• Develop and deliver the ICT strategy and annual technology roadmap.
• Manage technology operating and capital budgets, forecasting and procurement.
• Oversee managed service providers and specialist technology partners, including service levels, performance reviews and escalations.
• Maintain technology and information security policies, standards and governance frameworks.
• Oversee cybersecurity, technology risk and remediation activities.
• Prepare technology and cybersecurity reporting for executive leadership and Board committees.
• Lead technology projects across collaboration platforms, information management and workplace infrastructure.
• Oversee the performance, lifecycle and integration of core business applications.
• Identify opportunities to improve business processes through automation, digital tools and AI.
• Support staff adoption of Microsoft 365 and other digital platforms.
• Develop internal technology capability and lead a small team.

The Requirements:

• At least five years’ experience in ICT management, technology leadership or a comparable senior role.
• Experience working within an outsourced or co-managed IT environment.
• Broad knowledge across technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and business applications.
• Demonstrated vendor, contract and service-performance management experience.
• Experience developing technology strategies, roadmaps, policies and governance processes.
• Technology budgeting, procurement and expenditure-management experience.
• A track record of delivering technology projects, transformation or organisational change.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders.
• A relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent professional experience.

Experience in a regulated or service-focused organisation would be advantageous. Exposure to Microsoft 365, SharePoint and building internal technology capability would also be highly regarded.
